This video has been around for a while... but I think the machines Su-27 family are simply awesome.
Their agility is comparable only to the F-22 as far as I could see... with the only difference that they are not stealth, but also don't need an average of 25h of maintenance for 1h of flight! :D

As regards to the F-22, I saw this at RIAT this year and don't rate it's manoeverability compared to the typhoon, i know that this was only a demo but it looked really sluggish compared. It's still pretty good but it doesn't look like it's in the same league. Queue lots of abuse..........

I Can't comment, never saw a Typhoon. If you think the F-22 is "sluggish" compared to it though I really need to find a Typhoon demo lol 8)

Might want to check that out, I know how bad the F-22's are on maintenance, but the Su-27's are known to go through engines at an alarming rate.

Didn't Nick Black say that when he was in the RAF at Red Flag with Typhoons, the USAF refused to have F-22 / Typhoon fly-off after the Typhoon urinated all over the F-15?
