He should make aliyah.
I am a (former, but technically reservist) IAF pilot and worked closely with USAF pilots regarding istallation and “tweaking” of ground-support firing weapons, used by the USAF to great effect in Iraq and, even more so, Afganistan.
Our F15 and F-16s are marginally superior, but most of our modifications have been to increase range, which actually harm “top end” performance (e.g., conformal fuel tanks).
Our pilots are as skilled, if not more skilled, than USAF pilots, but we would be greatly outnumbered and outclassed dramatically with regard to intel and C&C.
The USAF pilots would do as ordered.
The entire thing would be a complete disaster, with ample kills on both sides.
I think the “young pilot” has received serious counseling by his commander regarding raising such a question in an open forum. He will have a short career
I apologize for not being able to relate your reply to my comment. Can you help me out?
