Indian Air Force pilots said they outflew and outgunned their Royal Air Force (RAF) counterparts during a joint exercise held in the UK.
The Indian pilots claim they outperformed the RAF’s Typhoon crews with their Russian made jets during an Indo-UK exercise named Operation Indradhanush, which was held over 10 days in Lincolnshire last month.
The Indians are equipped with the Russian-designed SU-30MKI Flanker fighter. They claimed they won their dogfights by an impressive 12-0.
A RAF source embarrassed by the leaked information was quick to talk down the claims, telling the International Business Times, “Our analysis does not match what has been reported, RAF pilots and the Typhoon performed well throughout the exercise with and against the Indian Air Force.
“Both [forces] learnt a great deal from the exercise and the RAF look forward to the next opportunity to train alongside the IAF” without elaborating what ocurred in the skies.
