Air Superiority

Close in Combat

In short-range combat, Eurofighter Typhoon’s airframe and engine performance will be complimented by its inherent agility.

The aircraft has massive subsonic agility, with features such as the off-boresight Helmet Mounted Sight System, HMSS to enable heads-out and over-the-shoulder work, exceptional carefree handling, advanced VTAS and DVI technology, and highly effective ASRAAM and IRIS-T short range missiles, which are custom-built for close-in and off-boresight lethality.

The advanced ''g''-protection system ensures that the pilot is fully conscious and mobile under the sustained 9G capability.
