Which is better F-22 raptor or typhoon eurofighter?
Like all of these questions the answer is “that depends”. Strictly in air-to-air combat the F-22’s low-signatures and AESA radar give it an advantage but it is saddled with what are now rather dated air-to-air weapons – AMRAAM and AIM-9X. Eurofighter has pretty low signatures from the front but its radar technology is slightly behind F-22 (for a few more years anyway) and it will soon sport more advanced air-to-air weapons such as Meteor. Then again, Eurofighter has considerably greater multi-role capability than the F-22 which obviously would make it more attractive to forces that require that kind of capability. Eurofighter can operate easily from remote bases with minimal support (the rapid deployment role) which the F-22 can not and one can purchase probably 5 Eurofighters for the cost on an F-22. So which one is really better?
