Think these are stationed from nearbye Coningsby. Admitedly, can only see their underbelly in flight but they do look like Typhoons.


Great addtion to our defence capability, but in a one on one dogfight would sooner be strapped into an F35.

Apparently strengths of the two fighters vary dependent on range.
Eurofighters are generally better for engagement when within visible range, whereas the F-35's are stronger beyond visible range.

I read somewhere of a 20 to 1 kill ratio by the F35 against the Typoon when using its gen 5 stealth capability's. The F35 would have released its air to air missiles before the typoon was even aware of its presence and it would be shot down regardless of its comparative agility.

An absolute powerhouse of a computer running the show, affording the eurofighter little time to respond to the threat. However as you say the euro fighter is more agile in a close range dogfight.

Eurofighter Typhoon vs Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II: Data Comparison

During the Cold War, European nations sought out a means of checking the Soviet Union's ever-present threat of war. Meanwhile, across the Pacific, the US looked to replace its aging fleet of aircraft with a multi-role aircraft. They found their answers in the Eurofighter and F-35 respectively...

So I will paraphrase my earlier statement of preferring the F35 in a dogfight, to that of a fight or engagement, as according to those ITK the Eurofighter would seize the day at close quarter.

Why the F-35 could 'never in a million years' beat the RAF Typhoon or the Russian Su-35 in a dogfight

"The F-35 cannot outdogfight a Typhoon (or a Su-35), never in a million years," a research fellow specializing in combat airpower says — but it won't have to.

Was the TSR 2 better than the F-35?

I hadn't actually heard of the aircraft and had to go ahead and Google it. Apparanty there's an interesting read by Damien Burke entitled Britain's lost Bomber that gains consistantly good reviews from authorative sources.

Neat white vinegar with a squirt of washing up liquid really does work wonders as a weed killer. Plus it's harmless to pets.

Plus a squirt of a cheap bleach and you could take down a Triffid.
