  1. Do you have any proof for that ridiculous allegation that the EU wants all countries to replace it immediately? Because I call BS.

  2. The French have a history of building delta-canards though - look at the Mirage series.

  3. Well, reliability always comes in handy. And then look how much thrust it has with 2. 2 smaller engines are less technically challenging as one huge big one which has to work 100%

  4. Actually, you are wrong. They have been found to be very reliable.

  5. There is no reason that reliability is not good. In fact, the engines are the most reliable engines in service up do date. The problem is again that our (German) MOD is not capable to order spare parts in advance.

  6. True. Try flying an F16 without vertical control....

  7. A typhoon is the asian name for a tropical storm - the american name is hurricane.

  8. Great comment. I love how you integrated all aspects into the equation.

  9. The thing is, the F22 set a standard that is nowadays common for new designed jets - stealthy features for a maximum survivability, internal weapon storage. Typhoon has a far more conventional layout.

  10.  @TrangleC  Just ignore the generation marketing, it is just that. Analysts do not deal in generations. I would probably give any future plane stealth features (because the advantages of computing allow stealth and maneuverability) but would put maneuverability first. To offset any disadvantage, I would field a very strong EW suit to the plane.

  11. TrangleC No, did not get a comment. My last reply about marketing and EW suits, stealth and maneuverability were the last comments I sawapart from this commont from you

  12.  @TrangleC  Rule number 1 on Youtube, have a thick skin. You have a lot of those comments, especially when we talk about a highly nationalist topic like military where no side can admit defeat. I have seen this countless times with the French and their Rafale. The thing is, ordnance can be carried externally too. Stealth would deffo give an advantage for SEAD though and once air superiority has been established, it should be possible to have internal and external storage. In this regard, the F35 is quite good. As for the tandem part, a jet without it's weapons at hand is a dead jet.

  13. The UK needs the F35 for their new carriers. Eurofighters can't land on them. Italy needs to replace the Tornado.

  14. I have read reports of war games F22 and EF did together. The F22 pilots loved them. The Typhoons are the only ones that can keep up with them at altitude and though not stealthy pack a lot of punch, especially against ground targets compared to the F22. And the radar works different and the IRST complements it nicely. I think there will be upgrades. Germany will not buy F35 and the British, Spanish, Italians also want upgrades in the future, not to speak of Saudi Arabia.

  15. This was not an EU project. Britain wanted to share costs and did not do it out of a good heart.
