Poll question: In a good ol' fashioned dogfight, who would win?
Same weapons load, pilots both have the same skill level.

1. Pretty even from what I read, but the F-16 has a bit more speed.
Not sure about turning radii, and rate of climb though...

5. I only know the Eurofighter vs. F1 car results
The Eurofighter specs are still mostly secret and/or estimated (or it passed by me; I'm not that interested in military hardware)

6. from the video`s i`ve seen
Edited on Thu Feb-12-04 03:57 PM by rchsod
the newest russian jet could beat both of them. really advanced but no money to build them, plus no after market buyers. they also have a rifle that fires two slugs with one trigger pull,again to much money for after market sales.
most advanced naval craft in the world? new swedish coastal ships that are being built by the germans under contract from a firm owned by bank one of chicago..
