Consider this cold war scenario. Its the 80's and tensions have been mounting near the 38th Parallel. The Soviet government has promised support the the North Korean regime. The South Korean government turns towards NATO for help.
While patrolling near the 38th Parallel one morning,a formation of 4 Tomcats & 4 Vipers come across a formation of 8 SU-27. The Tomcats each have 6 Phoenix Missiles and the Vipers their usual load of short range missiles. We shall assume the Vipers still do not have BVR capabilities. One of the SU-27 fires an R-77. Whats the outcome.
