Eurofighter vs F-35

1. No significant difference in price. There is less than 5% difference. F-35 is more economical, the Eurofighters twin engine will need more and more complex maintenance. JSF has a significant advantage in BVR fight. Where the Eurofighter only has frontal radar avoidance, the JSF has better stealth properties and won’t be noticed on radar. The Eurofighter is a lot more agile and will have a significant advantage in dogfights.

2. I know the F-35 gets bad press but the simple fact is when they are up and running they will be unrivalled in the skies. The typhoon would be destroyed before it even knew the JSF was there. You’re methods of comparing is old school.

3. Rafale is miles ahead of Typhoon in terms of multirole, system integration and operational combat effectiveness.From comments questioning the choice, it appears that some readers are intoxicated by Eurofighter’s far superior propaganda machine (their bragging about Libya operations was a masterpiece in that respect, in stark contrast to the excessively low-key French PR despite a few groundbreaking achievements substantiating Rafale’s claim to “omnirole” capability), not to mention a few commentators who might be on the payroll of Eurofighter GMBH.
4. F-35 is a flying powerhouse of a computer. By the time the Eurofighter responds, it will be shot down. Research kiddies because the F-35 was never about agility. It is about lighting fast engagements. The F-35 will engage you before you even know it’s there, true story. That’s what makes the F-35 so deadly. The F-22 uses this same factors.

5. The Eurofighter is multi-role while the F-35 is better armed and stealth. It has better technology AND weapons. The F-35 has been developed longer, and has more expensive and sophisticated technology. Either way, the F-35 and F-22 are better than the eurofighter. And the Eurofighter wouldn’t stand a chance against the F-35, which is a better plane overall.
