The Typhoon is a joint project between Airbus, Bae, and Leonardo. All four countries tried to use it as a way to develop the technologies where they were weak, so everyone got to do what they were the least qualified to do, so as to catch up at the expenses of the others.
There isn't any such issue for Airbus's own internal projects, where it does not need to follow political demands for who does which part and can instead select on the basis of competency.
Airbus doesn't, but Dassault does: it's the Rafale.
Sez you. I believe the RBE2-AA matches the performances of the APG-81.
The F-22 has been much hyped, yes, but it's not without its own drawbacks. The program was cut down for cost and that has prevented it from getting to the numbers the USAF needed, and that makes it harder for it to get the funding it needs for upgrades. The F-35 is a complete shitshow, which was overpromised and underdelivered on everything (except LM's profit margin). And besides, you're not talking about the F-22 or F-35 here, but about the F-15, an aircraft whose design dates to the F-X program of 1965. Yeah it has had updates since, and the EX is an evolution of the Strike Eagle from the eighties. But it still has an airframe design with the rectangle air intakes and parallel fins at a right angle with the wings, that makes it a bitch and a half to try to mask from radars. It makes no sense to want this aircraft out of its supposed performances. The only possible reason to want it is to buy American protection. Is that a choice that India can afford to make, given how flimsy this protection looks nowadays?
