ok yeah... for sure... you two are american so you are only saying "we are the better on the world" but isn't truth... the Typhoon would have seme chance to shotdown the F-22... and no... they would arrive for sure to have at least a dogfight... because the F-22 and the Typhoon of standard T4 have almost the same radar and the same lock on capabilities... maybe the F-22 would have some advantages like the stealth and the engine... And the major problem is... the cost.. it's like the B-2... the USA governement would think really well before use a F-22 or a B-2 on combat for their cost... The NATO, can lunch many attack with the EF-2000 without worry too much about his cost for remplace the destroyed aircraft...

My opinion is that, on the paper, the F-22 is better than the EF-2000, but in a real war, the EF-2000 would be better for the lower cost of production, the low cost of maintenence, the high performance, the possibility to equipe a lot of different type of air to air weaponry and air to ground, in few years, the EF-2000 will be capable of take off from carrier with sky jump, like the italian Carrier Cavour... the EF-2000 it's already capable of land on not compleatly prepared runway... So, un a real war, the EF would be much more usefull as like all other aircraft of the USAF like the F-15 and F/A-18 would be much more usefull of the F-22 on war... Like the B1 would be much more usefull of the B2
