Don't confuse "what you got" with how "you use it". ... I could tell you a couple "stories" about "tech" and "machines".. .. A "machine" is only as good as the driver or the programme. ..But never, ....Don't underestimate a warrior and thier only weapon. Go, drink some, Koolaid.... give your computer a rest.

And just what air forces have Israel fought against?
The US in many many events...
Hardly the F 15's are no match for the Russian planes.
So says the arm chair pilot...hehe
Don't worry we know exactly what the Russians can do and not do, don't underestimated the F-15s they are older but they are not your Daddy's F-15s either... I would not be surprised if a dozen F-22s end up in Israel with Israel/American pilots... that would be basically the end to any limited Russian air superiority.

In a turning fight, probably not, no. You're assuming that they're going to get into a turning fight though. An F-15 with Pythons is a match for any non-stealth fighter in the world in a fight, prior to the merge.

The only Python that can make it a match for any non-stealth fighter is the Python 5 which is used on the F16 not the F15.
Python-5 can be integrated with wide range of aircraft, including F-5E/F Tiger-II, F-15 Eagle, F-16I Fighting Falcon, Dassault Mirage F-1C, Mirage 5, Mirage 2000, IAI Kfir, Sea Harrier, HAL Tejas and F-35 Lightning II.

Well, it looks like its about time for ISIS to miraculously obtain Patriot missile batteries. Wouldn't that be a game changer...
What's the matter kid can't back up your statements? Israeli pilots are no match for Russian pilots and that's just fact. Israel has never faced a good air force and when they finally do then they will do the same as they did here turn tail and run.
If I were an Eagle driver and saw some Su-30s coming, I'd do just that. Get the flock out of there! Wasn't the F-15 originally designed to intercept the MiG-25? That's a whole different type of fight. I know the F-15 is capable, but I think it's pushing it (especially racked for bombs) to go up against a Flanker.

First this story never even happened, especially when Russia and Israel have a JOINT plan for flights OVER SYRIA. Russia made sure of this BEFORE their planes even landed at their base. Second, You know the Russians are so great how? Israelis do not run from a fight and the IAF sure as hell would give any nation a run for its money in air to air combat. That is a fact buster brown.
