Which do you think is better an F22 Raptor,a Euro fighter or an F35?

First off, all three of them are awesome. Out of all these planes, I think probably the F-22 would win. Even though the raptor is less agile, that thrust vectoring in it will come in handy, plus the weapon systems inside the raptor are probably better. The f-35, on the other hand, is a whole other story. Great technology, awesome plane, but the main purpose of the joint strike fighter program was to design an affordable plane that would replace the harrier, f-16, and the plane I used to work with the old f-18c (not to be confused with f-18e and f which are super hornets). So the main focus of this program was to get a great, multi branch airplane for their money. In the case of the raptor, the whole idea was to build a fighter that would rule the skies and replace the f-15. Making a cheap plane was not the main issue, so even though the F-22 is more expensive, it has a lot of good stuff inside.
