No, we definitely have state-of-the-art avionics. their pilots take more risks.
I worked with some Israeli guys back in the 2000/2001 time frame though, and those cats can just straight FLY, they have a set of NBA sized balls issued to them in flight school or something. Yes, they do take more risks than your average aviator but they have a lot of skill to back it up.

Ditto, when I was in aviation, we had and always will have the best avionics systems in the world.

I think that means they're willing to push the boundaries of their machine and themselves. They're willing to go 8G's on a manuveur that could very well black them out and cost them their lives, or push the machine and their skill to the limits just before they lose control of their machine.
Sorta like racing a car. Except at 15000+ ft and going 600 mp/h.
