Some more Indian press coverage of the exercise. This states that the 12:0 scoreline was "hyperbole" and that the set exercise criteria are critical factors in assessing any outcome.

4. Whats really positive and gets lost in the shrillness, is that the IAF which was super sensitive about radar usage and "joint" working in previous exercises has been much more open on all these parameters in the current edition. The number of exercises with US and allies is only going up. |
This is good news, working together accrues many benefits. |

Besides the fact that they probably won't such a result probably tells more about the training of the pilots for that specific Scenario and/or RoE than the airframe itself. You simply don't get 12-0 on merit of a particular airfame in WVR - not even in a Mig21 against an F-15... |
To be honest (overall and ignoring that scoreline "reporting") sitting on the fence here I'd say the RAF has gained exactly the experience it needed out of these mock engagements.
