Have just been listening to a debate,regarding the f22 and the euro fighter...usaf considers the f22 to be unmatched by any known or projected fighter..i think im in agreement to that view..what do you think? |

I think if it really suited the Yanks to switch off the electonic components of any other nations fighter ( of which they supplied ) they would do so without hesitation.
Does it really matter when the poor Afghan and tribal Pakistanis don't have so much as an Airfix kit? Even the Libyans kit was a bit antiquated. More so now.

Personally neither, the mikoyan -MiG 35 is a far better aerial weapons system, due to it's ability (and technology) to operate with negative ground support.
Faster than the Typhoon (or eurofighter) the MiG can achieve Mach 2.25 as opposed to the typhoon and Mach 2, carries a greater payload (30% more). The manoeuvrability of the aircraft makes it a "medium weight" fighter, essentially it's ability to turn "flat" and roar off at an extra .25 Mach would have a eurofighter pilot worried.
Although it has less range (if we exclude it's ability to take 3 extra fuel tanks) it has double the "combat" range of the Typhoon
The F22 Sits in a different class to the Typhoon and MiG it would be better to compare the above two aircraft with an F18. The F22 is designated as a "stealth fighter" has five less "hard points" (weapon or fuel carrying "nodes") than the MiG and again, half the combat range.....
Just my opinion......

Your all wrong,go for the Su-47 Berkut!Hand’s down the best dogfighting Jet fighter. The Su-47 has extreme maneuverability. A byproduct of it’s forward swept wing design. It is not as stealthy as the F-22 Raptor however it makes that up agility and the ability to carry much more weapons than the F-22 Raptor. The jet uses hard points as well as internal weapon bays.

Okay.
I need clarification.
Are we talking about some kind of Fighter Pilot game on the X-Box or Playstation or something?
Or are you people seriously up to speed (no pun intended) on military hardware to this extent?

"So where does this leave the f16...redundant i presume.."
Ah the f18 or "super hornet" is getting a little long in the tooth now, only able o achieve Mach 1.8, although like the MiG has the ability to have single and duo seating.
The f18 Again has half the combat radius of the MiG but comparable to the Typhoon, as both planes can be ship launched this is not such an issue.
Has more "hard points" but due to weight cannot come close in destructive power to the MiG, it's ageing software also requires ground support (hence the lower combat range of this, the F22 and the Typhoon). The MiG has an OLS (Optical Locator System) Which negates the need for GCI (ground controlled interception).
Again I prefer the MiG... |

My apologies I gave you a run down on the F18 and not the F16 Fighting Falcon.
The F16 Is slow (for a given value) at Mach 1.2 (at sea level rising to Mach 2 at altitude) carries a good payload (but not laser guided like the MiG) and again a third of the combat range.
Ho hum

To be honest it's difficult to assess because of pilot skill and technology, for manoeuvrability I would probably suggest the MiG 29, as it is the only plane (I believe) currently flying that is built to withstand 22g ( or 22 x the force of gravity) coupled with the pilots of a MiG 29 being, well to be blunt, mad. What this plane is able to achieve at speed os Mach 1.75 or above is nothing short of miraculous. The tech in the 35 make it a better all round system |

Good job the pilots don't react like that cos there would be jizz all over the cockpit.
Cum to think of it.
Ahh thats why its called a cockpit  |

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?  |

It's good to know that in the event of aliens attacking the planet and wiping out our military capabilities there would be civilians who could 'saddle up' in the fighter of their choice and save the human race from extinction.
Until that happens however, I find myself deeply perturbed.

Spitfire with metal skin, big radar target, easy kill.
Hurricane may be a smaller signature, due to cloth covering.
Mosquito with cloth and wooden frame maybe even better.
Not looked at turning radii, but the slow speed if you got to a gun on gun kill could be interesting. Alas a modern jet would simply run, and then engage from a stand off distance or utilise longer gun range.
China with an aircraft carrier on the way, and advances in aircraft may be more of a risk.
Chances of an engagement between Typhoon/F22 and high end Russion models is slight, Russia tends to keep best models/tech for itself still, just as US does.
Still the best way to deal with enemy aircraft is destroy them on the ground before they take off, and is what most planning goes into. |

Surprising fact re Aircraft carriers. The USA apparentky has 11 of the thngs.
Behind them, one country alone has two.
Surprise, surprise it's Italy.
I suppose it's so they can hedge their bets as to which side they would like to be on. |

And each of those carriers probably has more strike capacity than many entire countries ...with even bigger ones on the way! We only have dinky ones(with no planes yet!) The worrying ones will be China & India.
And for the record I favour the F22...if only because it has a better version for FSX on my PC Even though the Spitfire is a waaaay lovlier plane(and that sound! Gorgeous!)

Why should it be a worry that China and India are acquiring aircraft carriers?
It's not as though the UK picks a fight with a decent enemy that can fight back now is it? Iraq, Afghanistan, poor tribal areas of Pakistan ( the official ones apparently have nukes so we pay them handsomely in aid )and poor old Libya.
