Perspective?
F-15 first flew in 1972
Eurofightr 1st delivered aircraft was in 2003. This represents a 30 year difference in technology, which as we all know increases exponentially over time.
Seems proper to compare the Eurofighter with the F-22 and not the F-15 which is relatively obsolete.
But didn’t this administration back away from the F-22 production saying it was too expensive? Vote ‘em out!
Even the E model is older than the first Typhoons. Another reason why anything less than 300 Raptors is irresponsible.
The 493rd flies Cs out of Lakenheath. I’m surprised they can still certify the airframes on them.
I don’t know what block version the Spanish EF2000s are.
The public’s complacency on the U.S.’s aircraft really bugs me. Now that the 2018 bomber has been killed, I suppose we’ll expect the Buffs to keep going another 40-50 years. Good thing the Phantom IIs got used as QFs, or they’d probably want to save money by reactivating them, too. :P

Your right , but could it be that the pentagon didn’t want the F-22’s capabilities to be widely known.
