I don't mean anything by it, but it's almost like Europeans have this inferiority complex-I have yet to talk to a single European on this site who thinks that the F/A-18, F-15, F/A-22, F-ANYTHING can beat their beloved Typhoon.  I just don't agree, especially after we have repeatedly tested our stuff in battle, and many eurofighters (and their pilots) haven't seen as much action (from what I've read).
I did vote for the raptor 8) But I think we just all have to agree that Europe has come a long way in the last couple of years in both the commercial and military market
TV would make the cobra maneuver possible
That's where Russian a/c come in, but I believe we better stick to the topic.......
Hmm.. making unbiased decision... RAPTOR. hehe
lol :D

Rafale, since it's the lightweight and light cost version of the Typhoon made by a company that has a lot of knowledge about cheap and manoeuverable multirole fighters.
And 7 out of 10 western-oriented rogue countries are operating Mirages.  ;D

Typhoon  8)

Will outperform either of the other European fighters in every field, and costs significantly less than the Raptor. That and close in the Raptor woul be lunch for the Typhoon, TV or not it is bigger heavier and dosn't have the same degree of high speed agility that the Typhoon has*. That and the helmet mounted sights available to Typhoon pilots.

The Typhoon will putmanouever any fighter in development or production, the only area where the Raptor has an advantage is in sustained turn performance or mainting high AoA, thats where TV beggins to matter.

Craig  8)
