Thank you.
The design goal for the Eurofighter was really air supremacy. For modern BVR combat, as we see with the air supremacy airplane of the United States, the F-22, it is about speed, altitude, and weapons load, but it is primarily about the air-to-air role. It was always required. It is in the staff requirements of the four nations that the Eurofighter has to encompass the air-to-surface role as its secondary role. The design driver for the F-35 program was the other way around: it is primarily an air-to-surface airplane, its secondary role being air defence.
In terms of air defence itself, I am absolutely convinced that the Eurofighter is the superior airplane, surpassed only by the F-22, which is unavailable to all of us.
