EuroFighter versus the F22 Raptor

[Schadenfroh]

Inspired by the debate here

Eurofighter
Raptor

 

[NFS4]

Raptor FTW. Raptor would probably shoot down the Eurofighter before it knew what was going on.

 

[KillyKillall]

Since when can forum members take on a EuroFighter?

Better definition for F22 Raptor -> Here

 

[Kenazo]

Wouldn't the Eurofighter be a closer match to the JSF?

QFT!

During testing, they put like 2 Raptors up against 18 F-15 Eagles. The F-15s were "eliminated" before they were even aware of the F22s. The F22 is designed to sneak up under radar, target, and destroy its enemies before they even know what's going on.

sticking 'euro' in front of it makes me think it's a cheap marketing ploy to dupe gullible americans into thinking that it's a better product than it really is.

With an AMRAAM

The Eurofighter is an incredible aircraft, but it just can't match the F-22.

Most of you aren't qualified to answer this question. I actually fly jets for the US Airforce so here are my two cents.

-The Raptor handles high G turns far better than any variant of the EuroFighter.
-The Raptor has much better targeting system for it's air to surface missles.
-The Raptor has a better weight to range ratio. Meaning it's better as a dog fighter on missions that extend out over 500+ miles from the airfield.
-The Raptor is much better at evading radar detection.
-The Raptor's cockpit and heads up display are excellent. Here is a picture from inside my bird. Pic 1

On the most recent mission I flew, my wingman and I took out several key Iraqi targets along the Iraq/Iran border helping to restore balance in the middle east. Later tonight I'm going to be attacking radar installations in Soviet Russia so if you have any questions ask them now.

It doesn't sound any better.
How about F22ElFenix

"They are different kinds of airplanes to start with," the general said. "It's like asking us to compare a NASCAR car with a Formula 1 car. They are both exciting in different ways, but they are designed for different levels of performance."

US General John Jumper - the only man in the world to fly both aircraft

I can see that balance is totally restored! 😉

You would hope not.

While making a complete assessment is impossible based on publicly available information, there is a study by the UK's DERA comparing the Eurofighter Typhoon to other contemporary fighters; in it, the F-22 significantly superceded all other types (including the Typhoon) in combat performance, although it should be noted that the unit cost of the F-22 is several times that of any other modern fighter aircraft.

If you put a JSF up there instead of the Raptor, I still think that the EuroFighter would lose. Overrated and outdated Euro-trash, I say.

Now, if you had one of THESE, you would have an interesting match. 😉

Nomination for most lopsided aerial battle ever... 😉

Exactly, the Raptor is an air superiority aircraft. It is excellent in dog fighting, but also excellent at long range.
