Would you say the same if MKI goes through the upgrade plan that's underway of making it more stealthier, with AESA radar, Internal weapon bays etc...
i was taking into account the present situation of the two fighter aircrafts. see i am no aviation analist or an military expert ,just a simple guy who loves to put fighter planes posters in him room
... in future sukhoi 30 will be getting an aesa radar
i am not sure about the internal bay , so will the ef typhoon and other upgrades .. we will have to wait and see in the future which is better...
in the mean time do have a look at the following points.. ill pm you the links if you request...
1. In 2004, United States Air Force Chief of Staff General John P. Jumper said after flying the Eurofighter, "I have flown all the air force jets. None was as good as the Eurofighter
2 In March 2005, Jumper, then the only person to have flown both the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Raptor, talked to Air Force Print News about these two aircraft. He saidThe Eurofighter is certainly, as far as smoothness of controls and the ability to pull (and sustain high g forces), very impressive", he said. "That is what it was designed to do, especially the version I flew, with the avionics, the color moving map displays, etc. all absolutely top notch. The maneuverability of the airplane in close-in combat was also very impressive
3 The Typhoon is capable of supersonic cruise without using afterburners (referred to as supercruise). According to the official German Luftwaffe and Austrian Eurofighter website, the maximum speed possible without reheat is between Mach 1.2 and Mach 1.5
4 the Eurofighter consortium claims their fighter has a larger sustained subsonic turn rate, sustained supersonic turn rate, and faster acceleration at Mach 0.9 at 20,000 feet (6,100 m) than the F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet, Dassault Mirage 2000, Dassault Rafale, the Sukhoi Su-27, and the Mikoyan MiG-29
5 In 2005, a trainer Eurofighter T1 was reported to have had a chance encounter the previous year with two U.S. Air Force F-15Es over the Lake District in the north of England. The encounter became a mock dogfight with the Eurofighter allegedly emerging victorious
6 In the 2005 Singapore evaluation, the Typhoon won all three combat tests, including one in which a single Typhoon defeated three RSAF F-16s, and reliably completed all planned flight tests
7 during the exercise "Typhoon Meet" held in 2008, Eurofighters flew against F/A-18 Hornets, Mirage F1s, Harriers and F-16s in a mock combat exercise. It is claimed that the Eurofighters won all engagements (
even outnumbered 8 vs 27) without suffering losses
8 The Eurofighter is thought to have an RCS of less than one square metre in a clean configuration by author Doug Richardson, although no official value is availableThis compares with the estimated RCS of the Rafale of 2 square metres, the 20 square metres of the Su-30MKI,the 1 square metre of the Su-35BM
