If we judge the planes on export potential criteria I think that Typhoon is a winner. Countries such as Switzerland, Czech Republic, Canada and India who are looking to procure military aircraft in the near future will conduct a cost benefit analysis of the competing planes and surely agree that the sophisticated but expensive Rapter cannot be justified when measured against the reality of the perceived threat. That is always assuming that the Pentagon would wish such advanced technology to be in the hands of other nations…even those deemed to be friendly.
One country, Saudi Arabia, really, could afford to buy the best of the best in terms of air superiority fighters with a ground attack capability… Moreover it has legitimate concerns about the hostile intent of neighboring Iran. It chose Typhoon.

Typhoon, Dassault Raffale and the modern Flanker variants have radar jammers, which is incredibly useful when fighting at long ranges or low altitudes.

The Eurofighter typhoon is much better. IT is a bomer and combat jet. Also if a pilot in the Eurofighter is looking at the target that is where the missile will go. THe F-22 does not do that. THerefore the F-22 is not good at all. THe Ef2000 does not have to be stealh because it can go super sonice for its whole time of attacking. Lastly go to youtube.com and search Eurofighter Typhoon Nothing Comes Close. ☺

the F-22 is a waste of money, it is the air superiority of the USA but it’s a bomber, not a fighter and has very few weapons. yes it has stealth but is not worth what it is sold at, as for the f-35. I hope Canada willl not buy the f-35 but the Eurofighter wich the gov’t is leaning more towards, hopefully the Americans will stop wastiing so much money on the planes

The delta wings on the Typhoon are similar to those on the Avro Arrow which was developed, built, and scraped in the late 1950’s in Canada. The Arrow was capable of Mach 2+ and the Americans never could catch it when it appeared on their radar screens. Another plane that never went too far but had awsome potential was the US F-20 (Tiger Shark) which could fly circles around an F-15 or F-16. it is too bad we need a war or conflict to match the planes’ metal. A friendly competition like an ‘olympics event’ simply would not do as nobody wants to admit their stuff is not the best.

The Typhone is a very impressive aircraft but its lacking in adequate stealth characteristics to survive russias S300 anti aircraft system, not that we want to go to war with russia but currently crazy governemnts like Irans plans on purchasing this system from russia. but then i found many articles on Europes stealth UCAV’s being developed and researched, like i think britian, france and germany have their own versions their working on,,, but i want to ask why no european nation currently have any long range strategic bombers like our B52, B1, B2, and currently under research and development B3? Britain previously had hte avero vulcan which could’ve been reupgraded to 21 century standards, yet i read that basically aircraft like the panavia tornado typhoon and all have the capabilities of being used for deep strike nuclear bombing roles if need be. its great having a superp aircraft like the typhoon capable of an air to air and air to ground role but what about if the european natio9ns needed a long range cruise missle platform?

eurofighter typhoon is one of the most advance fighter jets in the world, with advance avionics and cockpit displays..i think it is better than russian made jets like the latest sukhoi’s and mig’s

I think The Eurofighter is a geat plane, however not better than the F22 Raptor, The Eurofigherter is clasiffied as a 4.5 Gen fighter. The F22 its a 5 gen fighter cuase is completley stealth, The Eurofighter may have front canards like the SU 35 and SU 37 but lack of stealth and thust vectoring that the Raptor have and many Sukoi fighters have. An US Air Force General flew both, the eurofighter and the raptor, both have diferent advantage in manewverability. the Thyphoon can do front fall, the Raptor can do the Cobra and the SU35 and 37s can do both so in temrs of maneuverability I give it to the russians, but in terms of overrall performance I give it to the americans, scince the F22 is the only 5 gen fighter in service sceince 2004 at the Langley AFB, Virginia 27th TFS. The Thyphoon and the Raptor both have supercruise that the russians lack. but Radar, stealth, trusth vectoring make the Raptor superior to the Thyphoon, besides the supercruise of the thyphoon hits mach 1.2 the supercruise of the raptor hits almost mach 1.8. besides the Thyphon have the weapons in external hardpoints, that reduce the maneuverability, the top speed, and the operational range. The F22 have his weapons internally giving him the full advantage of no drag, stealth, operational range. I put my money on the raptor. Im puertorican greetings

First the eurofighter Typhoon is not a bomber, it is a total air combat plane build for multi task roles, it is design for speed and aerodynamics but dose have stealth abilities. It can do many things that the f-22 pator can’t do like a “front fall” (the typhoon and one russian plane can only do this and can be very useful in combat). Its not about the weapons because they can be changed but i personaly think the Eurofighter is better than the f-22 but they will never fight against each other, together they rule the sky. I am german and i also really like the panavia tornado, a german fighter-bomber with extreme low flying skills.
