-Minimum altitude and maximum speed of terrain-following flight: 600 knots at 100 feet
-Power: two GE F110 turbofan engines (29,000 lb thrust class with afterburning)
-A mix of air-to-air weaponry: 20mm cannon; AIM-120, AIM-9, AIM-7, and AGM-130 missiles
-A mix of air-to-ground ordnance, including precision-guided munitions
Computer and Targeting Systems
The F-15 possesses advanced computer, display, protection, radar, and targeting systems:
Avionics suite: Honeywell advanced display core processor (ADCP)
Cockpit-display technologies: seven-color liquid-crystal displays, two upfront control panels (flat-panel), joint helmet-mounted
cueing system (JHMCS), and wide-field-of-view head-up display
On-board protection systems: BAE Systems ALR-56C(v)1 early warning receiver and Northrop Grumman ALQ-135M jammer
Radar: Raytheon AN/APG-63(v)1 radar:
Air-to-air and air-to-ground modes of APG-70 radar with additional sea-surface searching/tracking, ground-moving target tracking, and enhanced high-resolution ground mapping for long-distance target identification
Improved reliability and maintainability
Third-generation targeting and navigation systems: forward-looking infrared (FLIR) and infrared search and track (IRST)
Performance
The F-15 family has a combat record of 101 victories and zero losses, and the F-15E predecessor flew thousands of combat missions during Operation Desert Storm and in the Balkans.

Hey Hey Hey
When you look you see right through me
Cut the rope, fell to my knees
Fallen, broken every single time
Always keep me under finger
That's the spot where you would (sue) me
But I see sometime pleasure in my mind
Yeah, here comes the water
It's come to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you see
Hey hey hey
When you seek me you destroy me
Rape my mind and smell the poppy's
Fallen blood in every single time
Always keep me under finger
That's the spot where you might linger
But I see sometime the pleasure in my mind
Yeah, here comes the water
It's come to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you see
Like holy water
It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry
This time with me

呵呵呵呵 你不是 Typhoon 的 number 1 supporter 吗???怎么会没有纸上谈兵的方案呢?
What conclusions can we draw about the Typhoon? The notionthat the aircraft is “almost as good as an F-22” is not supportable,indeed upgrading the F-15 with engines and a radar/IRS&T/AAMpackageof the same generation as that of the Typhoon would equalise almost alladvantages held by the Typhoon over older F-15C/E variants. By the sametoken, no upgrades performed on the F/A-18A/C would equalise theperformance advantages of the Typhoon over these aircraft.
The strength of the Typhoon is its very modern andcomprehensive avionic package, especially that in the RAF variant, andits excellent agility when operated around its optimum combat radius ofabout 300 NMI .
Airplanes Comparison – Eurofighter Typhoon vs Sukhoi SU-30MKI Flanker-H
Sukhoi SU-30MKI is cheaper.
Eurofighter Typhoon is more economical.
Eurofighter Typhoon is faster.
Sukhoi SU-30MKI is better armed.
Eurofighter Typhoonis better in BVR rating.
Eurofighter Typhoon is better dogfighter.
Eurofighter Typhoon is smaller than Sukhoi SU-30MKI.
因此,upgrading F-15 的 engines and a radar/IRS&T/AAM package of the same generation as that of the Typhoon would equalise almost alladvantages held by the Typhoon:
总结:Su30MkM 买好棺材 dogfight 遇上 F15 with upgraded engines and a radar/IRS&T/AAM package of the same generation as that of the Typhoon, Su30MkM 不必等死,是包死! 本帖最后由 arigato22 于 2-2-2013 03:28 PM 编辑
'British Typhoons Whacked India's Sukhois in Joint Exercises'
RAF Fairford (Britain), Jul 24 (IANS): Britain's frontline fighter jet Eurofighter Typhoon, shortlisted for India's $10.4-billion combat jets tender, whacked the Indian Air Force (IAF) warhorse Sukhoi in one-on-one dog fights during bilateral air war games, if Britain's air chief is to be believed.
"Well, they lost," was Stephen Dalton's response when IANS asked how the Russia-developed India-manufactured Su-30MKI air superiority jets performed against the Royal Air Force's (RAF) Typhoons when they matched their wits during the joint exercises in recent years.
However, he was quick to add that the two aircraft are different in technologies, and that Typhoons are next generation, and hence there is no comparison.
Dalton was interacting with IANS at the recently held Royal International Air Tattoo military air show at the RAF base here.
The two aircraft were pitted against each other during 'Indradhanush' exercises in 2007 at Waddington in Britain and in 2010 at Kalaikunda in India.
Interestingly, the IAF had claimed in 2007 that Sukhoi's performance against Typhoon had convinced the RAF of its superiority. "The RAF pilots were candid in their admission of the Su-30 MKI's observed superior manoeuvring in the air, just as they had studied, prepared and anticipated," an Indian defence ministry release had said during the July 2007 Indradhanush.
It was, however, fair to Typhoon, saying the IAF pilots were impressed with its agility in the air.
Dalton was also all praise for the IAF for training its pilots to put any aircraft they fly to best use.
"The issue is you are comparing technology and people. So, more often than not, technology can give you a great edge, a great lead. But actually it is always the people (behind the machines) who make the difference at the end of the day," he said.
"It is not just how the aircraft did in the air. It is also about how the individual thinks, how they work, and their willingness to develop and to experiment.
"I have always found the IAF to be extremely good. Yes, technology is a significant element, but also the individual is really important in this," he added. Dalton also indicated that the IAF inventory of Sukhois, MiGs and Mirages are no match to the Typhoons. "Nothing that India has got is anything anywhere near this (the Typhoon). I would say that absolutely. This airplane is phenomenally different in both performance and technology in anything they (IAF) got right now," he said.
But, he added, it was not criticism, as Typhoon is the product of next generation technology.
"I would say the IAF crew that I have worked with and seen are every bit as clever as any other air crew in the world, and in many cases better. It is all about the man as the machine that they operate," he added.
Dalton said the cooperation between the RAF and the IAF will continue, as Britain valued this relationship. "IAF has a lot of experience and I would like to suck that out and use it, quite frankly," he added.
