The Eurofighter and the Grippen alone beat similar aircraft in the US arsenal in
terms of technology and capabilities.


The SU37 which is nearly in production also soundly beats the F15 and the F16 in
both maneuverability and the ability to seek and destroy targets in BVR combat.


So, at least in airpower technology the US is trailing at the moment. The F22
and the JSF should even the scales, if these projects survive budget cuts and
senate commitees. It was suddenly realised this year that the Comanche stealth
copter wasn't needed afterall.


It should be noted that the Eurofighter is a collaborative effort by several
European countries.
