What about Viggen vs. Gripen :o

I think the Viggen would have much more support (from people) :P

This dogfight seems good for me, as it has something personal ;D

Yes, Viggen would get more support. But Gripen would win that fight. Viggen is a defensive fighter from the coldwar-era. Its main job would of been shooting down bombers, not too take on other fighters. Yes it can outpreform the Gripen on certain things, and if the pilot is really good and have flown Viggen for many years it might do the impossible. :)

No, Viggen would ban Gripen and Gripen would be stuck out of this website. Unforunately. Aircraft-wise, the Viggen doesn't stand a chance.

OMG, to save and damage to the Gripen, i would have to use somesort of AA missile, or just incapacitate the pilot on the ground or something. Or get the SAS to do the raid they did on an Argentine airbase and take everything out, like the did in the Falklands war.

Nah. I'd use Isreali tactics. Sit on top with an E-2C and kill all the fighters as they take off. Bye-bye pilot AND fighter jet.

LOL  ;D ;D ;D

Another interesting dogfight would be between Rafal and the Eurofighter. Any suggestions? I would bet my money on the french.  :)

Yes, they look stupid. But this is not a beauty-contest.  ;)

What do you mean with "air dam things"? The engine inlets? You kinda need them with jet engines  :P

I think it will be pretty boring between Rafale and Typhoon (let's say UK is flying, ok, so ASRAAM yes), might as well watch two Eurofighters...or two Rafales? But tactics-wise might be quite interesting, if at least the RAF and AdlA tactics for flying their new planes differ.

Well what ever they are, they look like they were added after they built the plane, like they just bolted it on as an after thought

"""We finished making the first Typhoon"""
"""Very good, show me""""
""""nice, but how do the engines breath"""""
"""""simple, by, by, ...."""""
"""""Just stick two of the biggest ugliest airdams you can find and put them on"""""

OMG, you think they do something to it to make it look less ugly.

"If the airplane is beautiful, then it must fly well."

Although I agree, it's not me who said it, but Marcel Bloch, better known as Dassault ;) I think he was right...
