F-22 VS Eurofighter Typhoon — What really happened in these dogfights?

General

Despite the F-22 Raptor’s reputation as the world’s most capable air superiority fighter, the stealth jet has lost a number of notional dogfights to older and less advanced platforms like the F-16 and even the Navy’s electronic-warfare specialist, the EA-18G Growler over the years. But few exercises have done more damage to the mighty Raptor’s notoriety than a series of dogfights with Germany’s Eurofighter Typhoon that took place just about a decade ago.These losses may have been notional, but some people clearly took them seriously. So seriously, in fact, that German Eurofighters were spotted wearing F-22 kill markings on their fuselages after telling the press that they had “Raptor salad for lunch.”
