Kind of funny a single goat herder managed to take down 3 US fighters.
Years ago there was a report how these locally trained jet pilots weren't worth the paper their records were printed on. Could be a combination of malice and incompetence.
The only fighters they could take down is those of 'allied' countries.
Imagine you wanted to replace a few aging fighter jets, but you kinda want another country to pay for them...
