F2000 Typhoon:
Full name: Eurofighter Typhoon 52 ft. 4 in length . Wing Span: 35 ft. 11 in. Wing Area: 538 square feet; Height 17 ft. 4 in. Empty Weight: 24,250 lbs. Max. Weight: 51,809 lbs. Max …
The F4-S Phantom
Length: 58 ft. 2 in. Wingspan (38 feet 5 inches) Height: 5 meters (16 feet 6 inches); Wing area: 49 square meters (530 square feet). The Phantom can be equipped with ECM pods capable of jamming radar signals to protect it from getting tracked by other aircraft or radar-guided missiles. During its service, it saw a number of pods with different capabilities.
I know that the F2000 should be able to be picked up on the radar OK it’s got more wing surface in square feet than an F4 phantom jet which it should stick out like a sore thumb on the radar now you see what I don’t know about is jamming equipment that this fighter jet has in it and I mean the F-2000 now I know that F16 has radar jamming equipment in it and it also carries an anti-radar air to ground missile which is not in the game and it should but then we should have these ECM pods in the Game! for all the F4 Phantom that make it capable of jamming radar signals to protect it from getting tracked by other aircraft or radar-guided missiles. And these F4 phantoms had these ECM pods in the Vietnam War!
A rather roundabout way to say it. But yes. ECM tech should come sooner rather than later and I hope its the big new tech of 2025 for aircraft.
That was a rollercoaster of a post.
Well idk what to say, if you think the EFT is remotely similar to a phantom in RCS then I invite you to stop writing these sorts of posts, come back after some research because you seem to lack the fundamental knowledge of how radar detects modern aircraft
(Also i hate to burst your american ECM bubble but the Eft has probably the best ECM kit on a non-stealth fighter and blows anything strapped to a phantom out the water without having to bring a draggy pod that increases RCS, Not to mention the new Eurofighter EK which will be the most capable jamming platform in europe (used for sead/multitude of other uses) and better than the growler)
I mean Israel fought tooth and nail to get their own EW and ECM systems into the F-35.
Same story for the the F-15I and F-16I, they are not a fan of US ecm tech lol
I’d argue that the US still holds the monopoly when it comes to airborne radars but other nations/alliances are definitely superseding it in missile, EW/ECM and airframe technology.
Maybe the US will reestablish itself as top dog when they show off their 6th gens.
You know why don’t you? Because ours kicks theirs in the dirt because there’s is junk and their Eurofighter cannot even keep up with the F22 Raptor which is a stealth fighter plane or the F-35
I’ll leave you to your US fever dream since you don’t appear to be in the mood to be realistic, have a good evening 👍
I mean I can’t speak for the Italian variant, but the German one has beat the Raptor in BFM (this was without fuel tanks or external hindrances), and the British one possesses the ASRAAM+PIRATE combo which is a hard counter to any stealth jet within 50km
And the best F-35 isn’t even american, it’s Israeli
I reckon both the mods and germans on this forum would have something to say about this too, i would keep that kind of politics out of your posts from now on
Nice picture, want a cookie?
The F-35 is built by thousands of men and women in the United States Lockheed Martin leads the F-35 industry team with Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems and Pratt & Whitney.
I personally don’t put much stock into hypothetical “kill” marks.
Spoiler
A-10 is the most powerful jet in the US arsenal confirmed lol.
I much prefer this angle
They didn’t have the spine to release the footage like France did so that and pilot testimony from both sides is all we have
Yep, however an F-35 with Israeli tailored avionics and ECM tech compiled with the Python 5 and whatever shiny new toys the americans strap to their own fleet, simply makes it better.
