    Typhoon/EF2000/Rafale. Not stealthy, but still a superb multi role aircraft.

    (Yes, I know Rafale is technically not the same aircraft, but it sprang from the same initial plans, so it’s pretty close)

    #buyeuropean, I guess

      From what I understand, those are fine if you’re going up against enemies that don’t have stealth (and all the ancillary technologies that go with it).

      The general military analysis is that the F-35 and J-35 are superior to anything else in the air and are similar in capabilities to each other. Conflicts between them will come down to who can make more of them faster. Conflicts between one of them and an older generation fighter seems to be, they’ll blow you up before you can see them.

      EU better get cracking and start making stealth planes.
