Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) just look to this up to date jewel ! see the shape ! see the cockpit !
as the saying is:fly with the eagles or scratch with the chickens i could alter this to:
fly with the newest high tech stuff or scratch the earth in your obsolete garbachetruck

u dont grade it on tech?manoverabilty? speed?
well then u dont know planes well
it may not be good for cariers but its a damm fast and agile plane
the first plane with super cruise
can pull of high turns greater than a f15 at mach speeds
and u say the british gov dont like it ? bull shizen
we dont have many of em because tony blair is diverting our money somewhere
also the ef is a fine aircraft better at BSR than any other fighter except the raptor and YF23 but it was close only by 9 points

I am calm, what makes you think I am not?
lets just admit the eurofighter is a decent plane ok ?
it might not be the best but at least its up there thats all i can say

why cant u accept it ? the reason they stuck with it is because it is a good plane and im not trying to put it up against the bloody raptor ! secondly the EFT is designed as a small light fighter not something compared against a super hornet.
i wouldnt recomend a job at the UN for u

I would say that if JSF goes against the Euro Fighter the Euro Fighter would be my bet because it has a better A2A capabilities.
Only if it is within heatseeker range and outside of gun range. Then, and only then, would the JSF loose.
But if F-22 goes against a Euro Fighter then I will put my bet on F-22. But for every F-22 there can be 2 Euro Fighters because F-22 it that expensive. I dont really think F-22 can take 2 Euro Fighters on.
That is pure bunk. The F-22 would be able to see and engage them outside of their weapons range. There is no way that a EF could get a radar lock on a F-22 that is launching weapons at its max range at the EF. The radar is not that capable.
