[simpits-tech] Sorry, Gene...

[Joseph Fagner]

I'm not sure I'd brag about that.  Let's see, we have a state of the art
plane that was able to "shoot down" a 30 year old platform that's intended
as a strike fighter.  Hmm.....as Gene mentioned, not even a C-model.

Now if we want a real comparison, let's see how the Eurofighter does against
an F-22 Raptor :-).

	I'm not too surprised, but I'm surprised the British pilots were 
surprised. :P As good as it is, the F-15 is a big, heavy, multi-purpose rig.

The Typhoon is a much smaller, more agility-focused design. I tend to put
the 
Typhoon in the category of newer, insanely agile (usually delta/canard 
"hybrids", or something similarly exotic) jets like the Rafale. Still, 
considering how advanced the US's avionics & targetting gear is, and 
considering it was 2 on 1, it is quite an accomplishment.
	Personally my favorites are the newer Russian jets. :)
