As I understand it, the TypeHOON was designed from the start to be superior to the latest Russian built fighters and their possible future developments.
Having recently been shown a few facts and figures (by the head pilot on the project) it appears that this has certainly been achieved.
It does seem that the aircraft has slightly inferior flight performance to the JSF, but it makes up for this by the effectiveness of the weapons fit. Hopefully this will never be tried out in anger so it is largely irrelevant.
In any event, it is VASTLY superior to the Tornado F3 (so-called "fighter" - pah!) that our chaps have been forced to put up with for so many years.
