Comparing he F-22 and the JF-17 is beyond the point of idiocy, computing power, EW suite and Radar TRMs are the first categories that come to mind and the F-22, simply put, completley smashes the JF. :p

LMAO 😀 bring Typhoons to Pakistan and see how it does there against Thunders in mock combat 😎

LOLOL , Are you actually serious!? There is no category in which the Thunder betters the Tiffie areodynamically, it’s STR and ITR would make the Thunder’s look laughable. Can the JF even supercruise ?….

Speaking of light-hearted, here is the first of a four part look at Eurofighter World:

Thanks, I look forward too ‘How to smash Rafale’ and ‘an interesting soucre of the Swiss report’.

Thunder’s design is not F-16 esque. it’s essentially a single-engined Super Hornet with bump intakes 😀 Griffin’s traditional air intakes present large flat surfaces between the inlets and the fuselage, as can be seen in the frontal shot of Griffin above, and these flat surfaces contribute to a large portion of its frontal drag

The JF-17 is essiantially a slightly aerodynamically evolved F-16 with DSI, it’s nowhere near the F/A-18 Super Hornet or even earlier versions(YF-17 included :diablo: ) it’s LERX is tiny when compared to the F/A-18 but roughly similiar to the F-16’s LERX, it’s limited to 8G while the F-16 is 9G. When compared to any F/A-18 variant it’s tiny and even smaller than the F-16 and the JF-17’s engine produces less thrust than the F-16’s. Please, tell me, when is the JF-17 getting it’s IRST?! :dev2:

C’mon hasn’t one of the moderators noticed it’s the same guy, ban him.

the students in question are just learning how to fly and land the typhoon and the rafale. They are not yet ready for this kind of demanding dogfights. As simple as that. Transformational squadron is mostly about learning how to fly a fighter jet. Once you join your operational squadron they will teach you how to become an “operational” fighter pilot which take generally a full year. It’s a bit like asking a young student learning to read, count and write to take a very difficult exam for instance. And even then this “student” would not be risking his life and his aircraft.

Besides it is clear that the british and french pilots are too old to be rookies.

Please stop saying this, the photo does show quite a few of them being below 30,it’s a conversional unit meaning they’ve had previous experience on other aircraft not meaning they’re experienced flying the Typhoon before. It’s called Dissimilar Air Combat Training, if they had wanted to show off or train their more experienced pilots they would’ve just sent No.3(f) squadron to Solenzara like at ATLC.

To quote him:

In the Corsica event, we are talking of the RAF here.

Yes, but are we talking about the experienced ex-F3 mates with thousands of hours of air-to-air experience, or are we talking about ab initios, ex Jag mates, or even the crossovers – the Typhoon force includes pilots who are ex helicopter, ex C-130 loadmasters, and even ex F3 navigators. OCU instructors, or OCU students?.

Denial is a wonderful thing.

There are pilots on the Typhoon force who have the backgrounds described, and lots of Jag and Harrier pilots who have never had an aircraft with a radar, but I have never heard that the ex-F3 Nav, nor the ex C-130 Loadie were involved in the Solenzara exercise.

It had been said by Jon Lake over on Starstreak; the typhoon force were made up of ex helicopter, ex C-130 loamasters and even some ex F-3 navigtors. He also said they were OCU students.
