Don't forget you've had a similar claim from India in 2007:

Typhoon vs. SU-30MKI: The 2007 Indra Dhanush Exercise


"India’s Ministry of Defense, had this to say about the initial RAF-IAF clashes, and adds some words of wisdom:

“The operational part of the ‘Exercise Indradhanush-2007’ began with a series of 1 vs 1 air combat sorties… The RAF pilots were candid in their admission of the Su-30 MKI’s observed superior maneuvering in the air, just as they had studied, prepared and anticipated. [emphasis DID’s] The IAF pilots on their part were also visibly impressed by the Typhoon’s agility in the air."

I've read elsewhere the Indians claiming that they got a 50:50 kill rate against the Typhoons despite not using their locally-designed radars "for reasons of secrecy"

Take ti as you will - sounds like an attempt to force the price down to me
