http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/03/eurofighter_nao_analysis/page2.htmlPlease read my post carefully, friend. I never said that the typhoon is inferior than what is out there. What I said was that what the typhoon provided is marginal improvement over these aircraft. On a sidenote, I doubt that the typhoon, in combat configuration, with draggy external fuel tanks to make up for its smaller internal fuel volume, can kinetically outmaneuver larger aircraft with larger fuel fraction like the flanker and f-15 series. If you want air superiority, marginal improvement isn't exactly what you looking for. You want garanteed first look/first shot/first kill. If you just need an aircraft with marginal improvement, than at least, it has to be cheap, like Gripen. The typhoon is not. Its price tag makes no sense when you looking at the capabilities it provide.
