<pre wrap="">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 :-).

<pre wrap="">Heh. That's ok. That wonder-pig known as the "Strike Eagle" is too fat
and heavy to outrun itself, let alone a newer plane. A C model
however... :)

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. :)

well I think that the F-14 Supper Tomcat was a much better gun
platorm..... <br>
