Presumably, this is based on one plane managing to hit another directly with bullets and shells.
Even if a plane handles like a barge, it's still going to win, if it has a missile which can take out the opposition, before the opposition can get into cannon range.
If the opposing plane can defeat air-to-air missiles, than that's a different story.
There's not a lot of detail given to be able to judge in this case.
No, it covers air-to-air missiles as well. It would be pointless otherwise. So it's about a lot more than just the plane. But as to how they judge these things ... I don't really know. And I read

It being India, if you want to know how and why things happen, look at the betting odds, and how much has been bet, and by whom.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
