The combat statistics for all the aircraft currently in use

[X8X8X]

Hello combatace community,

 

At MiGflug (http://www.migflug.com/jetflights/the-combat-statistics-for-all-the-aircraft-currently-in-use.html) you can find current win / loss statistics for all the fighter jets currently in use (sadly I have no way to verify this statistics).

The F-15 is the undisputed king with over 100 kills but not a single loss.

Most eastern aircraft perform poorly according to this, while western do well. Presumably also due to asymmetric warfare.

 

Best regards,

Yes the figures vary depending on the sources used.....and they are often just claims not always verified shoot downs.

 

Asymmetric could be a simple generalisation but it's better than that authors "observations" that show a total lack of understanding of the factors behind combat performance.

I agree, MigBuster.

I tried to shorten this post a bit, hence "asymmetric". There is a quite a difference in philosophy between all the blocks, which may greatly contribute to the statistics.

For example, how many MiG-21 (which is widely regarded as a very capable fighter for its time) enjoyed build quality, maintenance, supplies, pilot training, tactical support, etc. the way F-4s did?

I wonder what a chart like this for WWII fighters would look like.
