Which is better?
The Su‐30MKI Flanker–H is sur‐
prisingly manoeuvrable, and ap‐
proximately 60% less expensive
when compared to the Eu‐
rofighter. The Eurofighter is faster
and has more advanced avionics.
They are very different aircraft,
and when in capable hands of well
trained pilots both are equally
dangerous. In WVR close combat
the Su‐30MKI may have slight
edge. When it comes to BVR the
Eurofighter has the edge, due to
better avionics and speed.
