Big jets are big targets, it’s that simple. Given an equal number of F-16s versus the much bigger F 15, and F-16s will kick their ass. It’s David and goliath.

This is why this idea experienced such a broad and quick success almost everywhere where western propaganda had limited access back then. However, in the West, the level of intelligence of an ordinary citizen is so low and/or damaged by propaganda, that even such a simple idea seems to be extremely hard to acquire.

MiG 21 is an interceptor. It's not supposed to enter extended dogfight with the multirole F5, which will beat it everytime in that scenario.

@Mahadl Jama oh really yall literally invaded Ethiopia during our weakest point and backstabbed us in Civil War on every corner of Ethiopia economic and oil crises and famine but keep in mind Somalis never had the balls to do anything this large and was bowing and kissing emperor and then mengistu until the Civil War and still got annilated lol fyi the only reason somalia even survived for a second was sovit refused Ethiopia to push further in somalia because of the us and Ethiopian civil war tell me what happened in 1982 right after 1977 when ONLY 10k Ethiopians invaded Somalia and completely destroyed fifty thousand Somalis outnumbered and occupied central Somalia with very easy until sayid Barre declared state of emergency and begged the us for guns and signed peace treaty leaving claims to ogaden like a cowerd 🤣unlike yall we didn't run away we walked out of Somalia making your leader vow his head with only 10k Ethiopians and imagine if Ethiopia invaded during emperor halie Selassie or before the civil war if 10k Ethiopians shakedown the whole somalia🤣 tell me what Somalis did when Ethiopians were dancing in literally central somalia ? Wait no more sovit Excuses 😂😂
