When German Eurofighter Typhoon Scored 4 Victories on F-22
In June 2012, eight Eurofighter Typhoons from the Luftwaffe's 74th Tactical Air Force Wing were deployed to Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska to participate in the Red Flag exercise. During the exercise, the Typhoons engaged in numerous dogfights with F-22 Raptors, all of which took place within visual range. The German pilots utilized infrared sensors to detect the raptors at a distance of approximately 15 miles. Aware of the Raptor's capabilities in long-range warfare, the Typhoons flew swiftly to counter their adversary's strengths. The German pilots employed integrated helmet-mounted sights to lock onto their targets and achieved four kills against the F-22s by simply aiming and firing at the aircraft.
