They sure like to fly their jets, but never fight with them mano at mano. Out of the ten years Irak Iran war, did you ever hear of dogfight between the two ? There wasn't any, each one only managing to go bomb populations of the other side, when not their own. Funny they never met in mid air, as each had hundreds of them, and plenty or radars.
Same with the Taliban's now. What's the point if having military jets, then ? Parading ? May be one doesn't get the virgins if he looses a good fight in midair, while crashing in the biggest building sure does the trick.
NO sir, the reason is much more simple : the Iraki, Talibani etc, top guns are shit scared of any USUK pilot, even ladies pilot, period.
