germark, we know that you are very nationalistic. but the ef2000 was designed to counter the latest su-sieries. the chinese will obviouly strive to something more f-22 level, with steath. which the ef2000 doesnt have.

no he doesnt has stealth but with its radars it can detect stealth planes
so that cant be the point

the harrier was designed for ww3 in case they dont have any more airports, look what he is doing today

woah, work on that english. like in german, english has its pronouns, and u definitly dont call an airplan a "he"

no, eurofighter radar cant see stelth planes, only ground radar can at the moment. no stealth=easy detection

The aircraft is equipped with a CAPTOR (ECR 90) multi-mode X-band pulse Doppler radar, developed by the Euroradar consortium. The multi-mode radar has three processing channels. The third channel is used for jammer classification, interference blanking and sidelobe nulling. Euroradar is led by Selex Sensors and Airborne Systems, with Indra of Spain, FIAR of Italy and EADS Defence Electronics of Germany.

The PIRATE (Passive Infra-Red Airborne Track Equipment) is mounted on the port side of the fuselage, forward of the windscreen. PIRATE has been developed by the EUROFIRST consortium which comprises Galileo Avionica (FIAR) of Italy (lead contractor), Thales Optronics of the UK (system technical authority) and Tecnobit of Spain. PIRATE operates in both 3-5 and 8-11 micron spectral bands. When used with the radar in an air-to-air role, it functions as an Infrared Search and Track system (IRST), providing passive target detection and tracking. In an air-to-surface role, it performs multiple target acquisition and identification, as well as providing a navigation and landing aid. PIRATE provides a steerable image to the pilot's helmet-mounted display.

also notable the electronic countermeasure system can detect enemy planes and missiles as well and autonomic


PS: and german is much higher develloped language then english btw :D

don't diss EF2000. This thing is a beast. It is probably the only fighter that I would dare to throw out in combat against F-22 right now. The only thing it really lacks is stealth. There were whispers that EF2000 managed to detect F-22 from 80KM out or something like that. Hard to believe, but I think if J-xx can be better than EF2000, then it has already done a very good job.

Personally, I think J-10C is J-12. It will probably have TVC nozzle + PAR radar and stealth features. It probably won't have supercruise, but it's already very maneuverable.

My guess is that J-12 will be better than Rafale and the best flankers, but probably not as good as EF-2000.

Hopefully, J-14 will probably be on the same level as PAK-FA and below F-22, hopefully above F-35 (although more likely to be on the same level as F-35).

Just a thought on the F-22

I would have to believe that the F-22 has to be the most overated fighter that i have ever seen. Some of its key features are in real terms useless in the real world. I think that way too much money has been spent on a fighter that really only does one thing well, but not well enough to even remotelly justify its cost. Let me explain

Supercruise
Has it ever occured to anyone that an aircraft that claims to be 'stealth' would find it useless to cruise along at supersonic speeds... The reason for this is that a supersonic fighter, regardless of its stealth capability makes a pretty bloddy big impression when its breaking the sound barrier. In real terms supercruise would only ever be used in training and in the manufactureres pamphlets. In the real world it would operate subsonically like most aircraft and only resort to supersonic speeds to either get into or out of action in a hurry.

Stealth Ability
The problem with stealth fighters is that they are designed to not return radar reflections from below them (i.e. ground based radars). This is all well and good when fighting against a 3rd world force such as Iraq or the like, but against a powerful country equipped with AWACS then its not always guaranteed that the powerfull radars will be beneath your aircraft. As well as this the Mig-29 and Su-27/30/32/34/35/37 etc. range of aircraft are fitted with powerfull IRST systems which allow them to search for infa-red signals out to 120km's... no matter how stealthy a plane is it will ALWAYS be hotter than the surrounding athmosphere, therefore it will be in just as much danger against a plane fitted with an AA-11/IRST combination as a J7 or a mig-19 for that matter...

actually, it would be in more trouble than a J7 or a mig-19 because an F-22 CANNOT manouver on par with either a lightweight fighter nor a supermanuevarable russian/chinese sukhoi. It is the same style of fighter as a Mig-31, an F-15 and a Tornado ADV, It is a large heavy advanced fighter designed to kill at long range, not to mix it in with the lighweights, a lesson learned in Vietnam by the American Phantom pilots.

So before we all go on about this aircraft like it is god-with-wings lets consider how truly effective its so called advantages are.

Oh... one last thing... the Russians used the paramaters and information about the stealth shootdown in its latest S-300PMU software packages... The same S-300PMU sold to China... Russians are neither dumb or slow, they have NEVER been beaten in a war in the last 200 years ( a real war... not afghanistan or the WW1 debacle where they had one gun per 3/4 men)

Yup that's why everyone hetes to speak it (it's way too difficult compared to Unle Sam's peasant dialect).

Anyway the EF has still to show it's capabilities in any kind of live engagement (no?) but no one is dissmissing it. Though it's price is.

germans a great languages. it has its comlicatons, but works fine.

the f-22 is really overrated. hms? there about 20 years to late.
thermal sensors? 20 years too late again.
2-d tvc? about 10 years behind, and not even 3-d
most laughable of all, it only has 8 missles!!!!

which would most probarly be enough for its missions...

AFAIK, the Flanker-Bs/J-11 only has 11...its not that a big difference...

The Su-37's can carry about 14 AAM with 8000kg of ground ordanance. This means that the Terminator can carry MUCH MORE than the Raptor and if 3-D TVC engines are installed, it can give the Raptor one hell of a fight (in a dogfight, in BVR the Terminator will go down).
