Post–World War II air-to-air combat lossesFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Air-to-air combat is theengagement of flyingmachines in warfare in whichone or more aircraft tries todestroy one or more otheraircraft. The Korean War sawthe greatest amount of air toair combat since World WarII. During the war the UnitedStates claimed to have shotdown around 700 USSRfighters.[A 1][2] After the warthe USAF reviewed itsfigures in an investigation

code-named Sabre Measure Charlie and downgraded the kill ratio ofthe North American F-86 Sabre against the Mikoyan-GurevichMiG-15 by half from 14:1 to 7:1.[2] One of the factors in the inflatedUS numbers was that because most dogfights took place over enemycontrolled area the only way to confirm kills was the gun camera.USAF pilots were credited with a kill if the gun camera showed theirguns striking the enemy aircraft even if no one actually saw it godown.[3] This contrasted with Soviet methodology that required otherpilots' testimony, ground evidence, gun camera footage and supportfrom the Chinese and Korean ground forces.[3]

The Vietnam War saw a move away from cannon fire to air-to-airmissiles.[4] Although US forces maintained air supremacythroughout the war, there were still occasional dogfights and several US aces. The North Vietnamese sideclaimed the Vietnam People's Air Force had 17 aces throughout the war, including Nguyen Van Coc, who isalso the Top Ace of Vietnam War with nine kills: seven manned aircraft and two UAVs. In just one day, inDecember 1966 the MiG-21 pilots of the 921st FR downed 14 F-105s without any losses.[5]

According to Israelis, since the 1948 Israeli War, the IAF has only lost 18 aircraft in air-to-air combat whileArab forces have lost 817.[6]

During the 1947 conflict over Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Air Force did not engage the Pakistan AirForce in air-to-air combat; however, it did provide effective transport and close air support to the Indiantroops.[7] The Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 was the first time the Indian Air Force actively engaged an enemyair force.[8] By the time the conflict had ended, India lost between 65 to 75 aircraft and Pakistan lost 43.[9]

The Imbalance in Losses explained by the IAF's higher sortie rate and emphasis on ground attack missions.The Indian Air Force lost 45 aircraft during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971 and the Pakistani Air Force lost94 aircraft.[10][11][12]

During the Iran-Iraq War of 1980–88, there were nearly 1,000 air-to-air engagements between Iran andIraq.[13]

The Falklands War of 1982 witnessed air combat between Argentine and British military aircraft. TheFalkland Islands' runways were short and thus unable to support fighter jets, forcing Argentina to launch

fighters from the mainland, which had an adverse effect on their loiter time. The Argentine forces lost 23aircraft in air-to-air combat, out of a total of 134 fixed wing aircraft and helicopters lost during the conflict.

During the 1990–91 Persian Gulf War, of Iraq's 750 fixed wing aircraft, 33 were claimed as downed(23 wereconfirmed); compared to 14 coalition aircraft claimed as downed(loss of one coalition F/A-18 Hornet isconfirmed).[14][15]
