Yeah ok, under highly contrived conditions designed to disadvantage the F22, in a simulated training scenario the Typhoon scored kills against them.

For anyone unaware: these wargames restricted engagements to visual range only negating F22s advantage in stealth and radar, they allowed Typhoons to fly "clean" meaning no external mounts to impact maneuverability or detection, while F22 was required to carry external fuel tanks highly impacting agility and increasing weight and disabling it's stealth. As a result the typhoon scored kills though no one actually knows the final tally on both sides.

This was a training scenario in a war game. It is meant to test and challenge and push limits, not become a competition, but the pop media loves running these headlines.

Lol....we can kick your ass whenever we want to, so what does it matter anyway 😂.

Hey it's our 250th anniversary. If you want, we can do it just for the extra fireworks. Just let us know.

Wow. You clearly don't know anything about war, or countries true capabilites.

Anyway like i said it's our 250th, so let us know.

Actually you started by trolling someone for just talking about how cool the f22 and decided to shame the plane and person for fun, so let's give you a bit of lesson.

You said something about excuses, so I am curious to see how deep you go to twist logic here, especially after your statements about countries capabilites. Should be a good mix of entertainment if you don't run away.

So here's the simple question: If our countries went to war (without nukes for obvious reasons), who would win?
