You don't know our history, so it's better not to comment on it. PAF is the only air force to have come across the Soviets; the Israeli and Indian air forces have always stood tall. As for USAF, this picture should give you a hint:Put up the PAF against the IAF+USAF in a fight then we can talk!

The point being a proper air force is backed by multiple assets and the field day that IAF and USAF were enjoying over Iranain skies would not have been possible if Iran had proper assets with ground based support systems and SAM.
