About the Italian Air Force EF2000 Aircraft

The EF2000 Eurofighter Typhoon is a multi-role fighter with maturing air-to-ground capabilities, a highly agile aircraft at both supersonic and low speeds, achieved through having an intentionally relaxed stability design. It has a quadruplex digital fly-by-wire control system providing artificial stability, manual operation alone could not compensate for the inherent instability.

The aircraft employs a sophisticated and highly integrated Defensive Aids Sub-System named Praetorian formerly called EuroDASS. Praetorian monitors and responds automatically to air and surface threats, provides an all-round prioritized assessment, and can respond to multiple threats simultaneously. Threat detection methods include a Radar Warning Receiver and a Laser Warning Receive. Protective countermeasures consist of chaff, jaff and flares, an electronic countermeasures suite and a towed radar decoy.

About the Mirage 2000C Aircraft

The Mirage 2000 is a Multirole, single-engine jet fighter is manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The Mirage 2000C began her service with the French Air Force in 1983 and was designed as a lightweight fighter based on the Mirage III in the late 1970s.

The first 37 Mirage 2000Cs delivered were fitted with the Thomson-CSF RDM and were powered by the SNECMA M53-5 turbofan engine. The 38th Mirage 2000C had an upgraded SNECMA M53-5 P2 turbofan engine. The Radar Doppler Impulse built by Thales for the Mirage 2000C entered service in 1987. It has a much improved range of about 150 km, and is linked to Matra Super 530D missiles, which are much improved compared to the older Super 530F. Look-down/shoot-down capabilities are much improved as well, but this radar is not usually used for air-to-surface roles.

About the Mirage 2000-5 Aircraft

The Mirage 2000 is a Multirole, single-engine jet fighter is manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The Mirage 2000C began her service with the French Air Force in 1983 and was designed as a lightweight fighter based on the Mirage III in the late 1970s.

By the late 1980s, the Mirage 2000 was beginning to age compared with the latest models of U.S. F-16 fighters, so Thomson-CSF began work on a privately funded update of the Mirage 2000C which was to be named the Mirage 2000-5. A two-seat Mirage 2000B prototype was extensively modified as the first Mirage 2000-5 prototype, and it first flew on 24 October 1990. A Mirage 2000C prototype was also reworked to a similar standard, making its initial flight on 27 April 1991. The production aircraft entered operational service in 1997. A two-seat version was developed as well, whose rear seat has a HUD but not an associated head-level display and lacks a built-in cannon, although cannon pods can be carried.

About the Zero Fighter A6M2B Hiryu B Aircraft

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a long-range fighter aircraft operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service from 1940 to 1945. The A6M was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 Carrier Fighter, and also designated as the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen and Mitsubishi Navy 12-ship Carrier Fighter. The A6M was usually referred to by the Allies as the Zero from the Navy Type 0 Carrier Fighter designation. The official Allied reporting name was Zeke.

The Japanese Zero Fighter Hiryu B plane was widely feared and respected by friend, foe and all who came into contact with it. A triumph of aerodynamic engineering and military science, the Zero Model 21 served in the skies across East Asia during early stages of World War II, contributing immensely to the Japanese war effort. It remains today an enduring symbol of that fierce and globe-spanning conflict.

About the German Air Force Typhoon Aircraft

The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine canard-delta wing multi-role aircraft. Designed and built by a consortium of three seperate partner companies; Alenia Aeronautica, BAE Systems, and EADS. In 1986, Eurofighter GmbH was formed. Eurofighter Typhoon was initially developed as a replacement for Tornado intended to be the next generation multi-role air dominance fighter meeting the challenges and threats air forces will face in the 21st Century. As of 2009, Eurofighter Typhoon is in service with the British Royal Air Force, the German Luftwaffe, the Italian Aeronautica Militare, the Spanish Air Force and the Austrian Air Force.

The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized "fly by wire" system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter's first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology.
