Post WW2 Regional Wars
India and Pakistan fought wars in 1965 and 1971 during which air superiority was contested. Conditions ranged from near-parity in certain places for certain lengths of time to general air superiority by India. Pakistan has flown American, British, and a limited number of Chinese frames. Indians have generally equipped themselves with Soviet, a few domestic, and a limited number of Western designs.
Israel and its Arab neighbors have fought multiple air wars since 1948. The Israelis have maintained significant air superiority for most of this time. Israelis began with British and French designs and began using American designs. The Arabs have generally used Soviet designs.

Famous quotes containing the words post and/or wars:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.”
—Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
