The most used argument by the Eurofighter lovers is that during the Red-flag (an American training exercise) in 2012 the EF typhoon scored a number of kills versus the Raptor. Now to the main point of this article: Is the German Eurofighter Typhoon superior to the F-22 Raptor? The topic has been widely debated many say that the EF Typhoon would out battle the raptor any day, whilst the Americans, of course, claim the opposite. This gives the Raptor really good turning-capabilities. It also features its unique Thrust Vectoring which gives the pilot the possibility to change the direction of the exhausts. It does not feature an IRST system but instead puts its faith in the fact that no other fighter (except for F-35) has stealth yet and therefore it only needs normal radar. It has a diamond shaped wing and has a Gatling gun at the right vertical stabilizer (just like the Eurofighter) capable of shooting 100 bullets per second (!). The F-22 Raptor is a Stealth featuring fifth generation fighter built by Lockheed Martin and first presented by the United States’ Air Force in 1997. But how does this affect the raptor? We will first go over the Raptor’s features before we draw any conclusions.
