I like the Eurofighter but the Russian SU-27, SU-30, SU-37, SU-37 or MIG-35 are better fighters. At least there are not buying the ridiculously expensive F-35 or F-22 jets, a waste of money.
It is too bad they wouldn't wait another 3 years as Russia has it's new T-50 super jet fighter set for release to out due both the F-35 and F-22 but better yet, a lot cheaper too.

What so American jets are best best best? Everything in America is best best best? No matter what it is America is the best and don't buy anything else?
Are you just Pro American and love your country and feel you have the best of everything?
Do you hate Russian fighters?
If so why are so many countries buying more Russian miltary arsenals
over the US? Tell me why is Russia the top seller in miltary equipment? Do you know how many F-22's have been sold in the last 5 years? Take a guess
Do you know how many Russian SU-27, SU-30, SU-37, SU-37 or MIG-35 have been sold in the last few years besides the MIG-35? Take guess
I suggest you read about the new Russian T-50:nutkick

It is about the topic.
In your opinion Russian aircraft are better over F-22 and Typhoons, why because of cost or do you know some dirty little secrets that the pentagon is keeping from the Americans in regards to the F-22. What gives the Tyhpoon a lagging edge over Russian aircraft.:unknown
I know i shouldn't, but...
The European "Big Four" (France, UK, Germany, Italy) combined scored $67.122 billion in sales over the same period (21% of world market).
Russian total volume in the 1999 to 2006 period was $54.316 billion worldwide (17% market share). US volume for the same period was $123.543 billion (39% of world market).

If the adminstrators would allow me to incert links, I have some Russian figures to provide what Russia has sold. Second, you forgot Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus too, all are still connected to Russia's miltary companies (what they make and sell) as well and lets not forget Russia's private miltary companies too. Also the big 4 are NATO and the US is part of those figures. Take NATO out and what do you have?
And that is not off the topic
And that is not off the topic
Sales to developing nations by:
USA - $79.533 billion
Russia - $51.159 billion
"EU Big Four" - $36.472 billion (France, UK, Germany, Italy)
"Other European" - $18.398 billion (includes eg. Ukraine, Romania, Sweden, Spain)
China - $10.119 billion
Other Nations - $14.746 billion (includes eg. South Africa, Canada, Brazil)
Note that these are the entire arms exports of these nations.
Oh, it definitely is.

It is planned from next year onwards. Probably from summer or later that year.
I'm truly sick and tired of saying this, here on DT.
Saudi's first 24 Typhoons will be drawn direct from current RAF tranche 2 Production.
Their following 48 will be built - in kit-form, within Kingdom.
RSAF are now looking at another 24 Typhoon's short term - to replace their 1970's block F-15C/Ds.

Have I said something different? Please read carefully before acussing someone for things they haven't said. The question was when the first aircraft will be delivered and the answer is from next year. Block 8 is scheduled for delivery from summer 2008, so that's the earlies date first RSAF aircraft will be delivered.
That is what the topic is all about, additional 24 Typhoons for the RSAF next to the 72 currently ordered.
Maybe, to replace A/B models? Did Saudi Arabia receive any? Because to me-unless this is an issue about the airframes being worn out-C/D model F-15's pretty much match anything in the Middle East and should meet RSAF requirements for an A2A fighter unless KSA is looking for something superior to what everyone else has.

No the RSAF never received any A/B just C/D from 1986 if I remember right.
