Ah yes, the old HNS argument!
The SHAR most certainly didn't always wax the F3!!!!! When it did, it was because it had a better missile in AMRAAM. However, JTIDS, high speed and better endurance still sometimes won the day even when the F3 still only had Skyslug. Once F3 had AMRAAM, let alone ASRAAM and all the bells and whistles it now has, it was rare for an FA2 to beat an F3.
I won't engage in 'my dad's bigger than yours' spotter comparisons between Typhoon and F-35. Each will have positive and negative aspects over the other. The point is, Typhoon and F-35 B or C should complement each other very nicely and we need both.
