You simply a cannot make a comparison between the nature of air combat during the cold war and the Luftwaffe seal clubbing their way around Europe in the early 1940's... Nor can you make a comparison between he careers of those who served tours of a set duration and those whom through circumstance were forced to fight for the duration. 10 Quote

But there is no apples to apples comparison. I would argue a bit of an apples to apples comparison between your Sea Harrier jocks and 2020's F-15Js & Su-27s mixing it up... Same general principles, just different politics and bigger, more capable jets: 1 Quote
Nightshade/PR Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Rafales in 2018, on a runway denial mission over the Timor terrain in inclement weather. There were a pair of Australian F-111's, a flight of F-15c's, a flight of F-16's, and some RAAF F-18's all flying in the same area on different taskings. I still have no idea of who nuked the base in the distance as I was going by. 5 2 Quote
