Man any aircraft worth it has self sealing fule tanks end of story. the Japanease in WW2 did not have them, the americans did and hey even without armor they saved many lives and kept planes in the fight. I will bet those tanks have them.

The Eurofighter Typhoon . Just meat and potatoes. The Europeans say this fighter is the best in the world , I donâ€™t know but it is impressive.

ya I am aware of it, it could be considered the most manoverable fighter ever. its thrust vectoring unlike the Raptores goes in more directions then just up and down. It has stealth features and if just a pure dog fighter.

Second site describes the thrust vectoring that makes the Raptors vectoring look old school.

n March 2005, United States Air Force Chief of Staff General John P. Jumper, then the only person to have flown both the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Raptor, talked to Air Force Print News about these two aircraft. He said that "the Eurofighter is both agile and sophisticated, but is still difficult to compare to the F/A-22 Raptor. They are different kinds of airplanes to start with; it's like asking us to compare a NASCAR car with a Formula 1 car. They are both exciting in different ways, but they are designed for different levels of performance". [29]
