- gpderetta 5y agoAny scenario in which American F22s would participate in combat action against European Eurofighters is far fetched, dogfighting or not. In fact I would say if such an encounter were ever to happen, due to rule of engagements, a dogfight would be more likely than a BVR engagement (and likely to end without a single shot fired).
