US airforce finally admitted that they have worse planes.

The Rafale, Gripen and the Typhoon are the main 3 future european weapon systems.

First of all compared against the main US aircraft (future and current):
F-15
- In the BVR (beyond visual range), the Rafale and Typhoon are considered more capable than the USAF\'s premiere fighter due to more advanced radar. The Gripen is currently seen as an equal to the F-15 with the Amraam, however in the very near future both Typhoon and Gripen will be armed with the Meteor, meaning that the F-15 can be engaged beyond the range of the F-15\'s Amraams.
- WVR (Dogfight), the Rafale and Typhoon are both much more manouverable that the F-15, the Typhoon also has a better thrust to weight ratio. The F-15 has just been armed with the Aim-9x however, the europeans have 2 dogfight missiles that are much more advanced, one of them the US opted out of in order to develop the \'9x\'. The Typhoon is being armed with the ASRAAM, this is the best dogfight missile in the world, uses the same sensor as the \'9x\' but is longer ranged and much more manouverable (it can turn 270 degrees straight off the launch rail). Outside of the UK, the Typhoon and the Gripen are being armed with the IRIS-T which is also more advanced

Will finish this later, in middle of family emergency
