Interesting bit of info on the eurofighter

American general on Eurofighter and Raptor

Scroll down to the DERA study for an unofficial comparison

Quite interesting. I'm still a skeptic on the Eurofighter. I noticed one thing though, why are the two aircraft named fights when they both have different missions and roles?

It was assigned the 'F' and 'Fighter' designation during the 1980's in order to fool the Soviet KGB. Remember, we didnt know about its full capabilities un the Gulf War.


To All:

Isnt it slightly premature to rate aircraft that are not actually operational.
For example much is still unknown about the F/A-22, the F-35, the MiG-47. The French Rafeal only became operational this year and the Typhoon isnt even out yet.

In my opinion the F-22 raptor is the best fighter

If I recall correctly, it can carry AIM-9 sidewinders.

Plz someone corrects me if I am wrong.

It is a hard choice, really!

But lets see

F 18 Hornet
F 15 Eagle
F 14A/D tomcat for its strong AWG/9 radar
F 35 JSF
F 22 Raptor (however it seems it does have many problems now)
Mirage 2000
Su-27 *(although I believe russian jets are crap due to their dependency on ground control)
Let me put in F 4 Phantom for its brilliant background
Rafale
F16 Falcon = MIG 29

1. f 15

2. f 14

good enough ?

I guess so!

F-15 is still the best strike fighter of the whole US Armed Forces.

And personally, I think there is no better jet than F 14 in the world
