Country:  | Raptor vs Eurofighter
I have a friend in the USAF that tells me that that the raptor would eat a Eurofighter for lunch. While I think that MAY be true he went on to say that the Eurofighter is no match for a F15!!!! Is it true that a 30 some year old aircraft is a better plane than the Eurofighter?

| The Eurofighter will eat up a F-15 EASILY!
The Eurofighter & Raptor are equal in everything if you ask me, except the Raptor is supposed to have a smaller radar profile.
__________________  We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft (Me-262), but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.

Country:  | Well I looked recently on wikipedia and compared them...the Raptor is much faster and personally I also like how it looks but the Eurofighter has its strengths.

Country:  | Eurofighter has the goods on the Eagle. The Raptor is the top notch but then it costs more...so should be.
Thrust vectoring and stealth for the win. | |

Country:  | A Eurofighter should have the win over an F-15 because it is newer technology and a next generation fighter.
The F-22 however owns all in my opinion. As Basket pointed out Stealth and Thrust Vectoring give it an advantage over the Eurofighter.

| Have to agree that the Raptor is the best but a Typhoon should certainly beat the F15.
If not we have wasted a HUGE amount of money and time | |

Country: | His reasoning is that the F15 has updated avionics that are better (newer)than the Eurofighter

Country: | I think the only threat that is viable to the EU at the moment is Iran and only because they too see the problem with Iran getting nuclear weapons.
Russia however could become another threat to the West and Europe will become the front for that if it happens again.
