Given that air superiority is obviously a good idea, which aircraft
supplies the most air superiority capability per money spent? The
F-22 (assuming the USA would sell it)? The F-35? The Typhoon?
Something else?
That depends on the mission, for Australia today an F-15 variant
would probably be the best alternative, Typhoon is a little short
on range though that could be an option with a decent tanker
force.
According to _The Illustrated Directory of Fighters_ by Mike Spick,
Typhoon has a range of 1852 km and F-15 1191 km.
