Here is also an interesting fact:
Even though more RSAF planes were involved in the Bombing runs and interceptor runs RAF (British) has lost more aircraft mainly either to Pilot Error or Ground SAMs or AAAs. This also says how greatly RSAF is underestimated by everyone in the world.
Funny thing is in the Iran-Iraq war Iran was in the habit of destroying GCC civilian ships so An imaginary line called Fahad line was created to protect these ships 2 Iranian F-4E Phantoms who were also on a mission to destroy an Iraqi oil tanker but were surprised by the RSAF presence so they turned down and ran but that still did not save them and Iran never destroyed a civilian ship ever again (Underestimation number one)
In an effort to demonstrate their own air offensive capability, on 24 January the Iraqis attempted to mount a strike against the major Saudi oil refinery in Abqaiq. Two Mirage F1 fighters laden with incendiary bombs and two MiG-23s (along as fighter cover) took off from bases in Iraq. They were spotted by U.S. AWACs, and two Royal Saudi Air Force F-15s were sent to intercept. When the Saudis appeared the Iraqi MiGs turned tail, but the Mirages pressed on. Captain Iyad Al-Shamrani, one of the Saudi pilots maneuvered his jet behind the Mirages and shot down both aircraft. After this episode, the Iraqis made no more air efforts of their own, only sending most of their jets to Iran in hopes that they might someday get their air force back. (Iran never returned the jets.) (Underestimation number two).
As I read on here I still see the same underestimation going on. It is like the world never learns really lol.
