You should remember, though, that the Eurofighter's design is over
twenty years old.


As is the F-22 - is *that* obsolete?


The actual F-22 design we see now is really only about ten years old,
due to fairly complete revamps of the program along the way. They took
a long time getting to initial designs, but ti's those designs you have
to compare. The Eurofighter is pretty much the same design (plus some
avionics and materials changes) as the late-1970s initial requirement.
