Welcome to our channel. All the weapon systems are like books, and they tell us their stories. The Weapon Detective investigates these books, reads between the lines, analyses them, and tells the untold. At the dawn of the Second Cold War, the fruits of new projects give us clues about the future. But current weapon systems also have their own stories. In our videos, you can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. While the Second Cold War is rising, Let's investigate the weapons together.

Can you make a video on T7 Redhawk?
You did not compare the Tornado fighter in the comparison with the other 4th Generation fighters of the 1980s.
About the F35: For those, who have missed it. Even the US Air force cancelled there F35 orders, and buy F22 and F15-EX instead. The F35 (the real product, not the marketing sheet) fail on nearly every thing, or stay behind Gen.4 fighters: Manoeuvrability is bad, bader then the Eurofighter, the Sukoi's, ... It is only stealth without weapons, when its weaponized stealth is gone. It cant travel supersonic, because the frame breaks into peaces. No stealth, no speed, no manoeuvre. They developed a 5-barrel Gettling gun for it, but even with that, it can reach the super-old A10 in the ground attack role.
The key reason for the development of the F35 was, that it should replace the super-expensive F22, and ideal also the F15, F16 and A10. After shutting down the F22 production, it was restarted again after is was clear, that the F22 is superior in manoeuvrability and stealth. The A10 production was restarted, after the newly developed 5 barrel Gettling gun never work as expected. The F15 production with new electronics was restarted, after it was clear that the F35 fail in every aspect.
Technological, the combo SU-57 (air superiority fighter) and the SU-35(fighter/bomber) is the best on the sky today. Combined with S400/S500, your country is save. For countries, what can not afford it politically(like Turkey, ....), they have to choose a SAAB, F15-EX, sometimes the Eurofigther (but not for Argentine, for example), Chinese, French or Korean models.
you lied about the eurofighter program. nobody joined the UK. the UK joined the german project, the eurofighter design was from MBB TKF-90. the EAP demonstrator was an international part of that but since nobody needed the EAP as it later turned out, most of the other demonstrator builds where deleted s only BEA build theirs. so who the fuck gave you the idea that the eurofighter is a british project? it just isn't. the UK failed to develop their own design in the 70's and 80's and the had to join germanys program. that's the real history of the EF.
Instead of "Middle East" you should have said Arabia or Arabian Peninsula, because that seems to be its only foreign userbase specifically.
A modern fighter with over 600 samples - that’s a success no matter how you look at it.
How many F-16 have been sold?
@@notmenotme614 What's that got to with fuck all? No one said most successful did they?
@@notmenotme614 F-16s aren’t modern fighters, they’re from the 1970’s. They’re massively cheaper and much less capable than a modern 4th or 5th gen fighter
@@greva2904 You are also forgetting the simple fact that it's the exact BEING from the 1970's that allowed it to reach those numbers in the first place.
@@getsideways7257 Yep. And they would be cannon fodder in a modern war against a capable enemy.
It is an extraordinary aircraft. The real challenge is that for many nations the F16 is good enough and cheaper.
Tranch 3 and 4 typhoons armed with meteors and Brimstone missiles are as good as F-22 and F-35s. Most counties have early model F-16 which are far behind in terms on senors and radar.
@@scottwhitley3392 but an f35 is like 20 million dollars cheaper than a typhoon. f35 is actually cheaper than the grippen.
@@nick4506 It’s cheaper to buy outright. It’s far more expensive to maintain and repair over its lifetime. The Gripen is designed to for ease of maintenance. Normally only about 40-60% of total aircraft are actually in active service the rest are down for maintenance. With the F-35 that number will be at the lower end of the scale. With gripen that number is much higher. You also need to factor in the time it takes for special parts to arrive from the US.
@@scottwhitley3392 maybe but the difference is about 10 million dollars. 85ish vs 95ish. that's a lot of extra money that the difference in hourly cost has to pay down to make the grippen worth it. and along with Lockheed's mantince training and all the other closer f35 operators in Europe the shipping time for replacements shouldn't be that bad. there is a reason why most of Europe is going for the f35 and believe me they are taking into account the hourly costs.
and tbh the percentage of a fleet that's down for mantince is kinda a secret that countries don't like to give out and we don't know the numbers for the grippen or the f35. you can guess but it means nothing.
@@nick4506 only if they purchase the A version of the F-35 and even then the per hr cost of flight time for the F035 is around 35,00o where the Gripen is around 8,000 so I would go with the gripen for sure.
Had an interesting conversation with a chap very much involved with the development program of the Typhoon. One of the major issues apparently they were having was welding the titanium. But the biggest problem was politicians from the various countries getting in the way.
Welding titanium is different than many other metals but that technology has been around for fifty years now.
@@brianfoley4328 But that was an issue they were having. Interesting story behind it all and what this person did to help understand it.
Politicians - Plus ca change? Cheers!
I completely agree with you
@@brianfoley4328 Could be more of a tool issue, welding plates on a huge airframe is going to need some specialised tools, I imagine.
Just one ironic thing to point out though, the MiG-21 actually has a lower thrust-to-weight ratio than the F-4 and pretty much the same wing loading, but in a real battle, the MiG-21 is noticeably more maneuverable.
Dogfights is but one aspect of the story. There's also the longer range part among other things.
That's why Israeli pilots slaughtered the Russian and Egyptian pilots flying the Mig 21 in 1973. They only lost a handful of F-4 Phantom II to aircraft all others were downed by the S-125. Once the Mig 21 left the umbrella they died.
Mass will be mass
And huge frontal aspect with a bigger Cx is a disfavour for F4
No it isn't. There's a big difference between an early very light MiG-21F13 (which has a noticably lower wing loading than the F-4's) and the successive and much more numerous MiG-21Bis variants which have no advantage over the F-4, esp. the slatted F-4E.
The MiG-21 even in its early variants had the advantage of lower aerodynamic coefficient against the F-4 and this made up somehow for its inferior thrust-to-weight ratio. The second advantage of the MiG-21 was its superior G-limit ( 7G against only 6G for the F-4 ) this gave it the initial angular advantage whenever the pilot used to pull the stick all the way back at high speeds until it reached its corner speed. This advantage worked especially at low altitudes ( like in Vietnam where the aircraft were forced to fly low so as to spot their targets in the jungle ).
I can tell you that I'm American, but, BIG WOW, this plane is perfectly BEAUTIFULL. I love this plane!!!!!
That's all I thought in the first minutes
The Typhoon is the most manoeuvrable fighter jet in the world. So much so, that it is impossible to fly without computers. It is technically not aerodynamic enough to stay in the sky by pilot alone, and would constantly stall. Thousands of automatic adjustments are needed for the canards, ailerons and rudder under high stress to keep her flying. A regular at British air shows, the aircraft can literally do a famous BMX trick. An endo. Where the pilot brings the aircraft in low and slow, followed by a quick, but massive burst of the afterburners and hard back on the yolk. The Typhoon seems to hold in suspended animation with the nose up in what starts out as a 'wheelie' and almost to a dead stop of an endo. If you can find footage of this trick, you too will wonder how the aircraft can even stay in the air during this manoeuvre. I've seen it twice and still think it's witchcraft that defies physics. My only guess being it's the sheer power of the alterable afterburners that keeps the aircraft in flight.
I've found footage of it happening 😁ua-cam.com/video/MY9v6eHZyp8/v-deo.html at 4:20 the pilot comes in and power drops audibly, then he literally hangs her in the sky. Yet again, I simply cannot figure how this aircraft can do this.
@@stevenmacdonald9619
You do know that unstable jets which rely on fly-by-wire to stay in the air have been around since the late 70s, right?
The typhoon isn't special in this regard.
Also, what does "aerodynamic enough" even mean? 😅
@tony fendex
Nothing beats the tomcat in terms of beauty and overall "badassery".
MiG-29 fulcrum is also more beautiful than the typhoon... hell, the only modern aircraft uglier than the typhoon are the F-22 and the F-35 🤣
I love the shape of this Jet, especially when it's fully loaded. Looks like sleek soldier loaded with ton of supplies while going to war.
The Euro Fight was and maybe (still is the most advanced aircraft i ever serviced) RAF engineer 20yrs :) the HUD was restricted (when was 1st design ) you blink twice and lite A whole town up
I witnees isn't a proof. If you were Nigerian, you would have sais : "J7 is the most modern plane I nevar worked"... but it didn't informed us about the other plane!

What proof?? He was talking from his experience and it was in his own opinion! Nothing abt J7, SAIS or Nigerians!

Due to high currency exchange rates. My country drop the idea sof buying this plane
LOL! 2:31 this is the first time I heard the name, "First Cold War"... very appropriate;)
I just love how he said the first Cold War ended
We are in the second cold war right now but it may end up as a hot war.
@@bighands69 the Chinese hotpot war
The duration of 'The first cold war' is a matter of definitions, but it seems logical to say it ended when the main country of one of the sides (the Soviet Union) dissolved.
There are some excellent comments on here - and some others, alas. OK I'm in the UK and UK-French rivalry is almost as old as the hills, so let's not bother with that. The question really is: which jet-fighters are best for European / UK / NATO defence? Having too many fragments matters but, on t'other hand, a variety is good as failings in one can be - to some extent - compensated for by other planes. For example, the RAF seldom flies just one type of fighter - even in WWII where fast, large-scale production (ie make one because it is the quickest method) was vital, the Spitfire and Hurricane both prevailed.
The Euro-Fighter Typhoon is a Fourth-generation fighter (The Tornado was third; the F-35B Lightning II is fifth generation (who knows? perhaps the final fighter-generation with a human pilot?). Now, if I had my way, the RAF would still be operating Spitfires and Hurricanes and those would be better than all other fighters but time moves on and so must military aviation. So the Typhoon is excellent but the RAF is already giving-thought to its replacement in the front-line - not now but plans are being drawn-up. We must acknowledge that all the planes mentioned here (save the F-35B) are yesterday's planes but the Typhoon is as good as yesterday's planes can be. (I know there are more sophisticated arguments but they quickly become very technical). If the French wish to use another fighter, that is their right. I am sure they do want an excellent fighter, which keeps their Air Force well-equipped, too.
@@soulsphere9242 The F22 has stopped being produced since quite some time, there are less than 200 of them and it would costs billions to restart the production lines. For the reasons that Mandellorian has stated, it does not justify the cost anymore because the stealth aspect has somewhat lost most of its value in light of new tech advances in low frequencies radar acquisitions. It is still a great airplane but no longer the dominant machine it was supposed to be compared to 4.5 gen aircrafts with modernized avionics. It was stealthy by 1990s and early 2000s standard, but a lot has happened since then.
Given the length of time it takes to design a new aircraft these days talkabout Typhoons replacement is natural at this point, given that it will be more than a decade before the thing is ready to enter service.
Typhoon however is not being replaced soon, F-35's are not replacing Typhoons but complementing them. The Typhoons will be used as the Air Superiority Fighter they were designed to be, with the F-35's taking on the Strike Role IT was designed for.
@@alganhar1 Hi. I agree with all that in a purist sense. Cheers.
@@soulsphere9242 Hi. I agree that the RAF is doing that - partly because the F35s are only just entering proper service. But, preferably, their roles would be defined. Point is, I guess, that the UK has nowhere near the funds the USA has, so many assets have to be multi-role in practice. Cheers.
Most people on youtube are obsessed with generations and paper specifications. In a time of war what really matters is the ability to keep the aircraft in the air and active.
WW2 proved that manufacturing and field service is far more important than paper based specifications.
It is the reason why US tanks prevailed against German tanks in the overall war.
The eurofighter is a weapon. It's unique in many ways. I've seen the raf really punch this aircraft to its limits and it delivers. in war I doubt there will be many loses either. It sits up their with the f22 and f35. Simply gorgeous looking aircraft
Bullshit 🧢

Agreed. Massively.
No hidden or shameful story here about an incredible aircraft, built for a war that "finished" during development.
Still one of the world's top fighters.
Not a great multirole aircraft.

If you could elaborate more on how the French Rafale affected sales or influenced Eurofighter design more and each other this video would be perfect.
Not mentioned, for the reason for lack of export success was the time it took the 4 partner nations to make a decision on up grades was far too slow.
The Typhoon was designed to intercept Soviet bombers. Most countries don't need interceptors, but multirole fighters. The Typhoon became a multirole fighter over the years, but it was a slow transition.
@@scratchy996 Funny that Typhoon fanboys $hit on Tejas when they both have so much in common.
When you make the best aircraft in the skies, you don't want to sell it to anyone else!
Late? Yes. And it's replacement will be also late. However, as far as I know, the users of the Typhoon are pretty happy with it, and its production continues.
They are happy now but would be if major war was to break out.
@@bighands69: Yes
A couple of errors in that commentary first the aircraft always had a secondary ground attach role from inception was planned to be the Jaguar replacement after equipping the initial fighter Sqn's of the RAF. Several Stealth features of the aircraft built in at the original design missed off, Typhoon has a frontal radar cross section much lower than the general public think. but overall a very good commentary on general aircraft development in ther market place.
I have no clue how this "pure fighter" BS became common "knowledge".
@@xyzaero9656 me either. It was always a Swing Role fighter, just the capabilities were added in steps. Frontal Radar cross section is 1/4 the size of a Tornado. In comparison F22 frontal radar cross section is 1/10 that of an F15. so it is not a "stealth" aircraft but way stealthier than people think.
@@EfftupSmith Ar least one person who knows his shit 👍🏻
its because the designers made it that way, it might be marketed differently, but the main armament it was tested and planned with was only air interceptor, an dif you are asking for my source, its one of the lead designers who gave a seminar on combat aircraft design at my uni@@xyzaero9656

I think that the Eurofighter Typhoon is a great aircraft and they are used by several countries who participate in the Red Flag exercises and have proven their worth to the nations using them. During the exercises tested there the aircraft was able to defeat many of the newer aircraft in service and will be used for a long time to come.
While they maybe a great craft they simply are nowhere near the level of the US fighters programs.
@@bighands69 Really? The F35 is totally out performed by the Typhoon in several ways, including supercruise and weapons load out. The F35 has stealth, but that is compromised now by new radar systems, meaning the main benefits are lost. In any case they are two different aircraft with two different roles.
@@trevor311264 If you think Typhoon doesn't have Stealth capability you are miss informed. Aircraft was built with a low frontal radar cross section, supercruise for reduced IR signature and PIRATE IR system.
@@davidwitter1234 All modern aircraft have some design features to reduce radar signal return, it does not mean it has been designed as a stealth aircraft, far from it.
@@trevor311264 These days being seen by RADAR is one of only several ways you are found in the air. Typhoon doesnt have a super effective body shape and funky coatings to make it as stealthy as the F35, but it does almost all of the other stuff the F35 does to not be seen
All Typhoons have Fibre Optic cable from Tr1 to Tr3!
Quite a few member countries of the F35 project also operate the Typhoon, but they're not replacing the Typhoon with the F35.
Because they are different planes. The Typhoon is a pure fighter for air superiority. The F-35 is an intruder in enemy territory plane.So technically, the F-35 replaces the Tornado role in the british and italian air forces. Also the F-35 has the B version that is perfect for the small carriers. So Spain and France should get it too for their navies. France has always wanted to be self-suficient so they wont get it. I am not sure what is the excuse for Spain.
@@juangomezfuentes8825 yep. The f35 is the new f16, the “do all” multirole fighter. Im sure the Typhoons fly top cover for the 35s similar to what the F15 does
@juangomezfuentes8825 : The Typhoon is multi-role.

Maybe on par with Rafale?
@@TheRogueminator superior to it in quite a few places tbh
@@isziahs5951 The Eurofighter is better in air to air considering it's speed and higher service ceiling. But it can't carry 3 drop tanks + a pod like the Rafale can. Heavy weapons like cruise or anti-shipmissiles need to go on either the central hardpoint (pod or droptank) or on the wing hardpoints that can carry droptanks. You can't have both. The Rafale can have a pod + tanks + cruise missiles. The Rafale is a far better multirole aircraft. But the difference isn't that big if you are only dropping simple GBU's.
@@user-lg4mm3mf8i good thing the Typhoon is primarily an air superiority fighter lol
@@isziahs5951 Yes but now that the Panavia Tornado's are getting too old it is becoming more of an issue. Because the Typhoons now have to take on more of the Air to Ground role.
I remember talking to an airforce officer in 2003. He was send by the government to evaluate two planes to submit which is the panavia Tornado and F 16. He told he prefer F16 at that time due to its electronic warfare especially the radar technology in F16. Few years after that the airforce purchase F18
Now we need a story about Rafale
Today I recorded 3 Typhoons dancing around a troop or crew transport leaving Macdill in Florida. Flight radar showed the transport as a British military plane……showed it going to Las Vegas ( Typhoons didn’t show on radar). Such a beautiful sight seeing our British brothers enjoying a flight over the states. Flight radar said they were heading to Vegas so my guess is they were training at Nellis. American and British Military working and playing together! I sleep very good at night knowing these good guys are training together regularly. Western powers keeping the world safe.
Amen to that brother.

I agree. The Euros also had a EF-2000 in the 80´s, the M4000....but France went alone with the Rafale.
In Austria we call it the Teurofighter, a play on words as "teuer" is german for "expensive", which it is.
Some have suggested to replace our Teurofighters with Aermacchi Masters, since they are much cheaper in both upkeep and maintanence.

What you say is interesting, because exept Austria, all the other country are involved in the manufacturing operation of this plane, each have a FAL for is own need!
Consequently, UK, Spain, Italy and Germany can't not be a customer of the Eurofighter! Furthermore, these order support there own industry.
Thevlast one, Austria look forward to give up with the 15 Tranche 1 they have to open a new chapter. They expected to sell them to Indonesia... but it seems that Rafale is preferred.
Can’t wait for TrueGrit and Heatlburs module of the Typhoon to come out for DCS
I doubt we'll be able to supercruise at mach 1.5, tbh, but it'll be a nice alternative to viper and hornet.
I'm also very interested in the F-15E module, that one is going to be epic as well.

This is without a doubt one of the best fighter jets flying with the Rafael, and F15 and only the F-35 and F22 ahead though both lack the strong weapons load capabilities. The F-35's go in first target and the Eurofighter firing Meteor from behind. It's thrust to weight ratio is immense coupled to super cruise and a now proper multi-role capability it will be just right in the current fighter mix we have..
Rafale not Rafael
That’ll be ignoring the RAF, Luftwaffe and Italian Air Force then!

THEY ARE PARTNERS IN THE PROJECT they were into it before seeing the result
@@flo__60 So? It's still been adopted by the vast majority of European's military power. France is the only major European military which hasn't adopted it.
@@rickwalker2 they chose to take part in the project they didn't evaluate the finished product to decide, you don't have as much of a choice after pouring millions into it this is my guess to why he talk about non partner buyers.
IMO Eurofighter's biggest mistake, ironically, is that it sold Typhoons to Saudi Arabia...arming a volatile, potentially hostile nation with one of the most advanced fighters in the world will spell trouble, granted they are older variants than the ones used by the RAF and German Air Force, but still.
But can you imagine if they had gone to the Russians or the Chinese instead of the Eurofighter consortium?
The Saudis have always bought Western tech. They also train with Western nations, for decades, without any problems....for now.
i vividly remember, back when we called it the jäger 90... shortly after exchanging the f-104 ground nail against the panavia tornado
Hey another super interesting and informative video! I just joined and became a member. You provide information that I've never heard beore. Very indepth! Thanks again
The Euro Fighter also has to compete with Sweden's Gripen E, which has an impressive electronics suite.
The Gripen shares tech with the Typhoon as it is 30% British.
Mate there's no contest in a dog fight the typhoon would win as it's way more mauevuerble
grip is a nice plane.. but its no match to a typhoon.
@Eric Hamilton hey.. Im not knocking it... its max bang for buck.. but is it out performed by the twin engined typhoon... whilst at the same time being a totally rock solid fighter. Look at the service ceiling and range differences..... but also look at cost differences. What you have in the Gripen is still a solid performer.. a flexible one... at much less cost. That's not easy to achieve. I followed both these fighter developments back in the early 90s.
aviatia.net/gripen-vs-eurofighter/
Grippen and EF are totaly different levels, you cannot compare light single engined low cost fighter with a twin engined medium air superiority fighter
Greatest fighter of all time ! OK you keep it I’ll keep the F 14. F15 F35. F22. F117 and A10 you keep the fiat
The former US Airforce General chief of Staff, General John P Jumper is the only person to have flown both the F-22 and Typhoon. He said both were excellent..but very different aircraft. He also said that in a close in dog fight, where manoeuvrability and the ability to hold high G manoeuvres counted, the Typhoon was better that the F-22 and had the edge. The stealth aspect and vertical performance of the F-22 gave it an advantage in other areas.
First combat aircraft I make with paper .. love this beast.
Im probably majorly wrong. But iv always looked at it as the European F-16. always liked the canard design.
this and the Rafale I believe are the superior 4th gen delta wing canard fighter designs.
A lot of nonsense and disinformation from the beginning. I'm not going to waste whole 16 minutes to this. To other viewers: be critical of what you see and listen. Makers of most videos like this tell you surprising things, because viewers find surprises entertaining (and honestly, most viewers come here to be entertained). The problem is that when the reality doesn't offer any surprises, they create them. That can happen by making things up, or by distorting facts. They both are a form of lying.
That's the problem with social media - it gives such armchair "experts" a platform to voice opinion as fact and without scrutiny of their accreditation.

Could you elaborate? I, as many others im sure, aren't familiar enough with the real history of the aircraft to know better.
ok sherlock, so what is the big brain lie?
and it is beautiful :)
If i can politely offer an alternative reason; Tiffy is second most expensive and F35 was not on the table at the time. The oil producers have limitless budgets, they don't care for budget planes. In fact, I'd wager they just liked the look of it, doesn't have to be complex reasons, they like Rolls Royce too.
Man I like this back ground music.
The F35 was available for commercialization much later than the Eurofighter and most countries were only interested in the VSTOL or naval version of the F35 anyway until a few years ago because the price was abysmal, its costs per hour of flight absolutely crazy and there were serious doubts about its real performance and cost-effectiveness. The Eurofighter is inferior only to the F22 and on par with the Rafale. The reason why many countries opted for new gen F16s or Gripen is simply because they are cheaper and have lower maintenance costs than the Eurofighter.
Superior to Rafale in many things, particularly high speed and altitude performance, speed of turning and power to weight ratio. Its a way superior interceptor and air superiority plane. On the other hand the Rafale is a way superior ground attack plane,also at electronic warfare, might be slightly better on low speed maneuvering and for now, has a better radar.
15:13 I wouldn't assume the Tempest is intended to replace the Typhoon so much as work alongside it. Consider the recent decision by the Pentagon to produce the F-15 Eagle 2 which is intended to be used in conjunction with the F-22 Raptor (or, more likely, F-35) as a missile carrying platform. 20 years from now, the Typhoon could be used similarly with the Tempest.
6th gen fighter programs, such as FCAS (or NGAD) are more about developing a capability platform rather than specific aircraft, consisting of a combination of both manned and unmanned aerial vehicles used in conjunction with land based assets.
The F22 is being scrapped tho.
@@eraldorh Nope
@@GonzoTehGreat Its being retired earlier than anticipated by most. The Eagle buy is much more about getting an updated platform that can carry and launch hypersonics and super long range AAM.
@@thomasstevenhebert _"Its being retired earlier than anticipated by most."_
There might be articles CLAIMING the F-22 was intended to remain in service until 2050 (or even 2060) but I've not seen confirmation of this from the USAF.
Anyone who thought it would remain operational that long hasn't taken into consideration the recent progress by China and Russia with their 5th gen stealth programs, which has forced the USA to re-evaluate their own capabilities.
These journalists were apparently also unaware of the problems keeping the F-22 (and the F-35) updated/upgraded and are also out of touch with the current rate of change of aviation technology. However, the main constraint of the Raptor is that there aren't enough of them to be effective, so replacing them isn't the priority. Instead, the USAF wants to start producing equally capable fighters in sufficient numbers to perform the role that it was supposed to do.
Hence, a more realistic expected retirement date is sometime in the mid 2030s, which is still over a decade away and approx 30 years after it entered service in 2005, assuming NGAD will be ready by then...

_"hypersonics and super long range AAM."_
These are both missiles and as I said, the Eagle 2 is intended as a missile platform.
"Even though it will be limited in how close it can get to enemy air defenses-owing to its large radar cross section-the EX will be effective for homeland defense and in areas where the adversary threat is less severe." Gen. James M. Holmes (Head of Air Combat Command 2017-2020)
www.airforcemag.com/article/joining-up-on-the-f-15ex/
Eagle 2 and Raptor are not going to fight together for a log time, because by the time the Eagle 2 is fully combat capable in large numbers, the F-22 will be on the way to the chopping block.
I just love it cause it resembles the LAVI . a homegrown Israeli developed fighter project that was ..surprise surprise.. shut down due to political pressure .. from across the sea.( Sort of a blessing in disguise as it turned out )
Euro fighter seems to be a very agile jet.
I wonder though how well it can fit to the necessary stealth any jet must bring to the modern era.

I recall one test pilot who flew the typhoon who was far from happy about the canards creating a 'massive blindspot' for the pilot. It will be noted the Rafael has its canards set further back. Not being a pilot I am not sure if this is that important or not.
A little awkward for landing as the nose is up and it obscures the view of the runway. Common complaint with canards. It's not usually a massive blindspot in a fight as the enemy will generally be kept somewhere above along the centreline.
They look ridiculous, couldn’t care less about aerodynamics and handling 🤷

I really like your channel and analysis.!!!
What can i tell i am the Ultimate Star.
What is the point of this video. Germany, UK, Spain, Italy and Austria use the Typhoon. That's five European countries. And you're trying to tell me the Typhoon isn't popular? The French needed, as you already said, a carrier-capable fighter, so they made their own
EDIT: Since some people think the Eurofighter is a copy of the Rafale, heres some facts:
In the 1970s, the French launched the Avion de Combat du Futur (ACF) program. The successor to the Mirage 3 and the F-1 was to be a Delta aircraft with fly-by-wire. The Mirage 2000 and the unsuccessful Mirage 4000 developed from the ACF program. The project was resumed in 1977 under the name Avion de Combat Tactique (ACT). Since Great Britain and Germany were doing research on a new hunter (AST 403 (GB) and TKF90 (GER)) at the same time, it was decided to merge the program into a European joint project. Dassault, MBB and BAe each submitted a draft. In 1983, BAe and MBB presented the first joint draft, Dassault did not agree and developed his own prototype based on the ACT. Even before the official agreement to develop a joint aircraft, France went its own way. Nevertheless, the development of a European Fighter Aircraft (EFA) was decided in 1983/84. France wanted a smaller, cheaper multi-role fighter with distinctive short take-off properties, better suited for missions by the relatively small French carriers, with strong ground attack capabilities and better export opportunities, while Germany and Great Britain had a high-performance and manoeuvrable fighter in mind: high acceleration at all altitudes, good supersonic maneuverability in the initial phase of the aerial battle, effective fire-and-forget air-to-air armament for medium distances, extreme maneuverability in dogfight and a good range for air surveillance missions and escorts. The ability to fight in curves should be achieved through high pitch rates and maintenance of flight stability even after a stall. Thrust vector control should give the machine the ability to adjust the line of sight to the target (very interesting because the lack of said thrust-vector-control ist the main critique point nowadays). Ground attack abilities were intended as a secondary ability only. France claimed system leadership and 50% work share. In August 1985 the negotiations finally failed, whereupon the then French Defense Minister Charles Hernu announced that France would withdraw from the EFA program and develop the ACX on its own for series production. The remaining four nations developed the EFA into the Eurofighter.
Germany also operated the MiG-29 until the Luftwaffe gifted Poland's air force with its surviving airframes for the absolute bargain of one euro each. This has no relevance to the Eurofighter. I just thought it was a cool aspect of aviation history.
@Pietro bellucci nobody cares and your comment is completely useless pressed french
@@Matze239 nobody cares too and EF is just an ugly copy of The Rafale, the Best 4.5's.
Austria intends to get rid of Eurofighters as their operation costs are extreme and will probably buy Gripen. Other nations also use Gripen or F-35. From that point the initial intention was not fulfilled at all.
@@brittanyfirst1608 nobody cares for your lack of knowledge.
I love double delta wing configurations. But there is something about the eurofighter that just dont jive with me. The Rafale and the Gripen and even the Viggen just looks nicer to me. Altho looks is not everything of course.

The Rafale and the Gripen are not multi role, single purpose like comparing f-15 to f-22
@@SkynetT-X that's not entirely true. Rafale is definitely multi role. Just different roles. Eurofighter isn't doing nuclear deployment or whole bunch naval type missions rafale can. Also rafale can also do air to ground. So probably fair say rafale does more roles.

@@dogsnads5634 Don't sleep on a banana... in principle there were two factors playing pivotal roles. Firstly, political committment of French gvmt, they urgently needed an export customer to keep the production line open (Rafale didn't meet the planned export sales and with that jeopardized the whole program). On the contrary, the 4-Nation EF consortium was constantly marred by political bickering about exporting the aircraft, Germany was not very supportive when it came to India. Secondly, who ever was/is acting in the international arena of weaponry sales, knows how France supports their weapon system manufacturers, tooth and nail are just the basic instruments. They have some more tools in stock, that are quite effective in countries like India. Insiders know, what I mean...

In fact the Typhoon is one of the five competitors to replace Finland's aging F-18 Hornets, I'm kind of rooting for it versus the other options
Wouldn't be a bad choice. I believe the Gripen would be a better choice though, just because it needs less of a runway and Finland (probably) doesn't have too many airfields. Also cheaper to operate. Maybe less capable overall but definitely enough.
Yeah..I agree with the other reply. I am in Canada and we are looking to replace our Hornets too. I hope both our Countries get the Gripens, but we will probably watch the politicians buy the superhornet. I also think it is time for Finland and Sweden to join NATO together. Putin is a whack-job, and Norway and Sweden already depend on Finland to slow down Russia if they ever decide to go after Nordics or Baltics. May as well make it official.

@@omegacentauri73 I am not from America, so don't give me that BS. Putin blames NATO for the mighty USSR breaking into pieces.

Now He has declared himself Stalin for LIFE.
@@anandarochisha It's more complicated than that I'm afraid. After USSR collapsed and retreated from Europe, they had a treaty with NATO whic stated that the pact would not move american troops close to their border. NATO did, pointing out some loophole like "the treaty was with USSR and you are Russia". Basically they treated Russians like punks while observing Monroe doctrine on their whole hemisphere, making moderate russian leadership look weak... which led to Cuban missile crisis and the rise of "strong man" Putin among others.
Omega is still full of shit. If Russians see an opening, they will move in - just like with Crimea and Ukraine and Georgia before. There's nothing magical about Baltic states or Scandinavia protecting them from Putin's agression - infact they're like candy in front of a hungry kid. And now the way the US left Afghanistan... they might see an opening forming.
English Electric Lightning was a beast of an aircraft supersonic in vertical flight 1750mph this plane is fricking quick a proper interceptor!
i just wanted to make a comment before i watched the video.. i remember playing the EF2000 flight sim and thinking.. wow what an awesome fighter.. its been one of my favorites ever since and i can't believe it wouldn't still be a valid multi-roll fighter for several years to come..still one of the best flight sims i think.. (grew up in the USAF)..okay, now to enjoy the video :D
Eurofighter was not really designed from the ground up to be a multi role fighter, the ability to undertake Strike missions was added later at the insistance of Germany primarily. It's designed principally as an Air Superiority fighter with an additional Strike capacity kind of gaffa taped to the thing. Admittedly, it has turned out to be surprisingly good as a Strike Fighter, but its true role is the one it was designed for, an Air Superiority Fighter.
Which is how the British at least will be using it. They are not replacing Eurofighter with Lightning II, but using Lightning II as their primary Strike Fighter allowing the Eurofighters to be freed up for their primary role, Air SUperiority missions.
@alganhar1 : That's not strictly true. They'll be used to compliment each other, so to speak. As the RAF Typhoon's carry the "FGR" designation, which stands for Fighter, Ground attack, Reconnaissance.
A little correction: When you say "a nightmare for military planner in Brussels".. well there never were any military planners in Brussels, apart from Belgian army ones that is, so you're fighting ghosts there.
Thanks on the technical part of the video, well done for that, but the rest is pathetic propaganda.
Wouldn't he be referring to NATO?
Found the EU shill.
Where do you think NATO was/is headquartered? It is in Brussels. So yes there should be military planners there. That is what headquarters are made for.
i got kind of mad on the Mig and F4 thing because if anyone actually done any amount of research, the reason why there aware more F4s shoot down than Migs is due to the Vietnam pilots choose their fights, only choosing to attack when the F4 are low on fuel or when they are trying to get back to base after completing a mission
North Vietnamese migs absolutely did not shoot down more f4s, USAF and USN kill ratios were between 5-1, 7-1 at various points and even 14-1 in 1972 exceeding Korean war kill ratios, when Mig Cap missions are compared to fighter versus fighter combat in other conflicts not the skewed comparison of f4s or f105s A7 even A1 skyraider etc on strike missions laden with bombs being shot down by fighters. ww2 and Korean war fighter vs fighter data does not count fighter bomber missions shot down as being fighter vs fighter combat. The North vietnamese air force failed to defend their own airspace from sorties by bombers the main threat to aircraft being SAMS.. I recommend you check out the excellent HistoryNet article The great Vietnam war fighter vs fighter kill ratio debate which brilliantly debunks this Myth of lower kill ratios.
@@stephennuttall5052 then I’ll stand correct

Came expecting propaganda (like seemingly many of these channels) and trolls saying "durrrr". Was not disappointed. I was involved in this aircraft's development in the 1990s. This video is full of specific misapprehensions - especially that the Typhoon was designed to "intercept Warsaw Pact bombers" (wrong, it was always intended as a multi-role aircraft) - but also a very big one; that the Typhoon was intended as an export aircraft. That wasn't the case.
India considered Eurofighter and Rafale for her airforce but opted for theFrench aircraft because of the price. India has bought 36 Rafales and might buy more until their own fifth-generation fighter is ready for trials.
Pretty sure it wasn't just the price.
Rafale is Multi role , war proof and has a modern radar.
@chevauxpatrice6198 : Just like the Typhoon.
@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM At the time Typhoon had no AESA radar vs the Rafale. Must look at the noting and it's also fell behind in Air superiority , Netherland and Switzerland also gave it a lower not in that specific area.
@jureeratpholseela7508 : At that time, they were testing the Typhoon, it was only TRANCHE 1. Typhoon is currently at TRANCHE 3, soon to be TRANCHE 4. These are vastly more capable than the TRANCHE 1, in terms of avionics. The Typhoon's air-air capability has nowhere near been diminished, if anything, it's been improved & before you claim that the Rafale scored kills against it aswell as the F22, the opposite to both of them statements is also true. Infact, the TRANCHE 1 Typhoon (the most basic model) was the 1st to score kills against the Raptor 'years' before the Rafale was did.
It’s no surprise why it hasn’t been bought in huge numbers, it’s a very expensive aircraft but most importantly the Genesis of it was not to make money. It was for an aircraft fit to face off whatever the the then Soviet Union had.
_Good video._ The F-35 is only slowly becoming available now, so I don't think it had any part in initial reduced Eurofighter sales. I think that was all the F-16 and F-18 beating the Eurofighter to the market. But from 2019 on, then the F-35 has had a strong effect on EU countries and Canada's choices. The F-35 has prevented Canada making a choice.
Still, the F35 isnt a good aircraft, if u want to operate only one kind of Aircraft. It is slow, expensive and for regular Interceptions u do not need stealth.
@@tilfo6798 You have literally no idea what you're talking about.
Well...the French were always going to buy their own-and that's surely the best multi-role type, Gripen was probably the most successful, but is the cheapest (and is certainly no slouch-I mean, it's probably the weakest of the bunch, but is half a class above an F-16-and that's what a lot of Western nations chose), with the Typhoon being the undisputed champion of air-superiority. But look at the competition. They built hundreds of Typhoons-I don't know exactly how many, but surely a success. And the countrys that bought them, would all feel good about that.

IMHO the Typhoon is a good fighter in a bad time. Its competitors like Rafale, F-18, JAS-39 Gripen, F-35 are either cheaper, or offer better hardware like AESA and EODAS.

@@E_y_a_l thats another possibility.
The reality is, all the 4.5 generation planes are pretty much equal. The differences are down to the combination of sensors and EW systems fitted to a particular aircraft. 4.5 aircraft will leap frog each other in capability, depending on their point in their upgrade cycle.
As for stealth, passive and low frequency radar haven't rendered such planes obsolete. Stealth planes have never been invisible to such systems. The problem is, LF and passive radar can't locate an aircraft accurately enough for a target lock.
Whereas the stealth planes can see and target your fighters and SAM systems. There is a reason all the major powers are developing stealth planes. They would hardly do that if they had radar systems that rendered stealth useless.
hensoldt twinvis apparently can
So what's the story the west doesn't want to tell????
That the Eurofighter Typhoon is a partially failed project on its own. It's not the best but carries a top premium price tag.
One of the few channels that edits videos. Or revoice in this case.
I see a lot of people arguing about whether the modern version of the F-16 is on the same level as Eurofighter or not. By tell me, guys, what about Rafale vs. Eurofighter? Are they pretty much equal, or is one more advanced? And what about the newer version of the F-15 that America has announced it will buy? How does it compare?
In international competitions, the Rafale was better ranked in all criteria according to the different Airforces who tested them. That can be a good clue to compare their capabilites.
In terms of comparison, there's not much in it. In a straight up dogfight the Typhoon has the edge. As it has a higher thrust to weight ratio (second only to the Raptor & not by much), with that capability it can super-cruise faster & further. it also has lower wing loading basically meaning it can turn tighter for much longer. Where the Rafale scores better, is that it's ground attack capability is a bit more fleshed out, so to speak & there's a carrier capable version, also. There's no carrier capable Typhoon. Another thing worth noting, is that more nations fly the Typhoon, than the Rafale.

Excellent. Your channel is just excellent.
A Royal Navy F35A was going to surpass all RAF next gen fighter options. UK's budget limits on airframe count might have lead to a F35 only fighter fleet. No surprise the RAF were keen that Royal Navy carriers use STOL F35B. The 2 RN CV were built too short for the F35A/C. 2010 Cameron tried but failed to put this right.
This video is a perfect example of flawed reasoning. It is literally a case of drawing singular anecdotal points and bringing them together for an arbitrarily single narrative, which is embarrassing to see.
Suggesting the gripen has undercut the Typhoon in sales can't stand on its own when the sales extend to Slovakia, Hungary, or Brazil.
Further, claiming an equal of the Mirage 2000 to the Eurofighter rather than the Rafael in sales in the ME is just downright odd.
Furthermore, stating the Eurofighter lost in sales to the F-16 in Europe due to being too late... The F-16 had its first flight in 1974, and the Eurofighter two decades after. Those early European sales are in no way relatable to the Typhoon after. You would have done far better to have compared the Tornado ADV, frankly.
Your argument is fundamentally incoherent and fragmented, interspersed with regular fallacial thought indicative of external bias.
In truth, you should be embarrassed at this video you produced.

How about in 2020's or 2030's market? Typhoon is still capable fighter so it can find customer who doesn't need expensive stealth F-35, just like upgraded 4.5+ gen F-15EX or F-18 E/F or Sukhoi Su-35. The Rafael and Griffin fighters are selling quite well recently to third world to replace aging fleet of F-4 and F-5's and old Mig's .
