    The Typhoon’s supercruise demonstration in Singapore, and Rafale’s failure to do the same (in Singapore, at that time), has been widely reported. It’s really not that big a deal, and I suspect that EC7 could tell us a thing or two about what they’ve achieved with the aircraft.

    it seems you are closer to singapore MoD than any peoples here?

    largely reported from? 😉 when no press are allowed to sensitive flights and evaluations?

    Why singapore MoD stated that the french bird was more impressive than 2t overweight eurocanard?

    Why is Rafale was rated highter in any foreign evaluations? i’m curious!

    I hope Greece buys Typhoon, there is the chance of having a truly European combat aircraft. That’d be nice. Is there a chance of a split Typhoon/Rafale buy? I heard that on another forum, thought it would be very weird.

    why buying deare butter when you can have cheaper cream?

    don’t think that hightly talented greeks AF officials will look back at eurofighter for one second!

    No matter what we add to them, our legacy a/c can’t penetrate an area defended by these systems and they’re very mobile and hard to target. The F-22 can.

    the raptor is the sole bomber that doesn’t makes heat?

    how can the bigest bird of next century who is susposed “stealth” on noze frontal sector would be stealthier from below along his large airframes?

    What empty hardpoints?

    1 tank, six Paveway, 2 IR AAM, 4 MRAAM = 13.
