Or closer to it
At riddle there was a huage aviation library and database, i remeber reading something on how the F-18 got spanked in a joint exercises with german mig-29s, think i saw it on TV to. I also remember reading on how the airforce got spanked by the israiel (sorry if i cant speel) airforce in joint exercises to. The US airforce complained because they didnt have a awacs to help with those BVR missle shots.
Now i no expert, but this was just from some observational reading.
