It is a good evaluation to see, what was the soviet, and US behaviour during war.
It is fundamental to recall that North Vietnam was about 20-25 millions persons, poor third world country, just independant since 1954. Most of this country was agricultural, Industry did not be developped as now. If I remember VPAF has not more than 200 aircrafts-if someone please could complete, i would be appreciate very much-
Is it nessecary to recall what about USA ? The first and main industrial country in the world during that time. No use to tell more about
US air force, or US Navy.
Untill recently, -because of western propaganda- I used to think that Mig 21 was useless, and most soviet aircrafts, no use to add more about this insanity, the figures prove by themselves that my thougts are completly stupid, and nonsense.
Moreover I don't say that US pilots are tackies, they were very good soldiers. Neither I said US aircrafts were/are poors.
I think following the figures we can fairly say that US aircrafts and soviet aircrafts about same qualities, however I can easily say a little ahead for Mig 21, and Mig 19.
It is worth to add that an aircraft as the F105 following the losses was removed from his fighter's role.
This figures show also the fight between US'school -Top Gun-, and Soviet's school, chieftly for the pilots. In Krasnodar during the 60's, for example on 120 students, only 6 or 7 won their pilots brevet on Mig 17. I know that it about the same in France, England, Gemany, I suppose this is the same rate in USA.
The US government admitted about 2.000 aircrafts were lost in Vietnam, we have figures a minima, 2.000 aircrafts were downed, however we can fairly ask this question:
Has US Governement any interests to say the truth ?
My response is no, because the truth could simply hurt US industry, US political'leadership, Allies's confidence about the reliability of US weaponnery. As many US weapon are bought by Germany, Netherland, UK, Israel, Saudy Arabia, Indonesia, Morrocco, Brazil, Argentina, Spain...
To follow the US statistics or about,
see here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_losses_of_the_Vietnam_War
But in order to avoid US propaganda this link is much more accurate.
http://myplace.frontier.com/~anneled/usloss.html
What it amazed me is the Mig 17. How and old, outdated subsonic fighter, with its primitif radar, without AA missile, could downed most US supersonic aircraft : F105, F4 Phantom, F8 Crusader, .... I had to wait Internet to see that. It's crazy. Here you can see the very efficiency of the Mig 21, and we can easily understand about his success, more than 12.000 aircrafts produduced. This is an exploit.
