Can F-22 raptor beat Eurofighter Typhoon?

Question

Eurofighter Typhoon and F-22 are two of the best fighters. In a dogfight which fighter will win?

Answer 1

The Typhoon fighter is a dated design. While the F-22 is the latest in design technology in all areas.

Even if the combat were staged in such a way that the Typhoon pilot knew he had an adversary, he would loose.

Making it more difficult is the claim that the F-22 has the radar profile of a sparrow, and as a result will not trigger a cockpit warning of a closing boogie.

In short the F-22 can get in shoot him down and be gone before the Typhoon pilot even knows the F-22 has been there.

Answer 2

nowadays, its BVR combat 95% of the time unless opposing forces purposely merged.

having said that, objectively, the USAF, USN, and USMC have way more assets than any other nation or NATO. Assets are anything from cargo planes, fighters, attack aircraft, AWACS, satellites, cruise missiles, special forces, aerial refueling aircraft, operatives on the ground, etc etc.

that in addition to all the research, investment and whatnot going into long range missiles these days, I think the F-22 would win easily at BVR. There has been discussion that the Typhoon can use its FLIR to see the raptor's heat signature but that only works if the curvature of the earth isn't hiding the raptor. With an AWACS plane painting the target for the f-22, it can launch from beyond the horizon and still score a hit.

Back to your question though

The outcome of a dogfight might be less certain. Should it happen, and it shouldn't. Maneuverability of both are nearly on par, with the typhoon being a smaller target but the raptor being a little more powerful on the engine side but a bigger target. It'll depend on the situation: whether more powerful engines are required or a smaller more agile aircraft.  The raptor's stealth would do no good because they would be able to see each other with mod zero eyeballs.

What will determine the outcome would be pilot skill, tactical support(wingmen), weapons (a missile is a good distraction) and luck. ( Remember S**t happens)

Of course, the raptor pilot has a little advantage with him and that is the ability to disengage from the encounter at a sustainable high speed if it isn't going his way.

Answer 3

f-22, but not a dominant victory. however, dogfights are increasingly rare these days, what with long-range fire-and-forget missiles

Answer 4

5th time I have seen this exact question. No radar yet has been able to locate or track the F-22... so if the deadguy in the Eurofighter can use "the force" and find it and kill it before he takes one up the pipe he has a chance. In the real world, he has none.

Answer 5

Eurofighter would win because it was designed by Europeans.

Answer 6

In a dogfight (upclose and personal) the typhoon would win, it has been designed to be unstable, thus much more maneuverable than other aircraft, however the raptor would engage it long before it got that close.

Answer 7

They're just about even in a close in fight.

Answer 8

F22 is the winner even in close, since it has vector thrust and would get position easily!
