Guys please talk about MMRCA in the related thread and stay on topic!
Regarding Sukhoi vs Eurofighter, or IAF vs RAF, I think this will be a very good exercise for the whole IAF and it's air defence capabilities. Not because the EF is coming, but because they can field all IAF fighters + AWACS against an enemy force with dedicated AWACS too. IAF can simulate air defense and develop better tactics against enemy AWACS and fighters guided by them and for sure have offensive parts too, where IAF attacks an enemy with AWACS and air defense (probably with our neighbors in mind).
Besides that, EF is superior to MKI in A2A, while MKI remain superior in A2G. Lower RCS, long range missiles on the one side, higher payload, range and variety of weapons on the other.
