First off the F-15 is a very capable air craft. It has a confirmed combat kill ratio of at least 200:0. It is also an air craft that is more then 20 years old. Taking one out is not a joking matter, seeing as we have never really lost one. The EuroFighter is basically a F-15 on steroids. Call it what ever you want but that’s what it boils down to. The F-22 on the other hand is in a whole new class of war bird. A hybrid of every advanced feature the USAF could put on it. What I find funny is that people in favor of the EuroFighter will try and point our theoretical scenarios that are very unlikely to ever happen. Also they focus on how the EuroFighter might be better then the F-22 in one or two aspects. Mostly I hear about the EuroFighters 9 G-Suit and its maneuverability. The thing is that the F-22 was made in a way that if you beat it in one category, it will beat you in 5 or 6 more. There's a more maneuverable plane the F-22 is faster and more stealthy. There’s a faster plane the F-22 will turn circles around it. Nothing can beat it in every one of its strengths and I would bet that no one but the USA will for at least 20 more years.
