The Eurofighter has as low a RCS as the F22 despite it only being gen 4.5. You could also have 4 Euros for price of 1 Raptor and has a much lower srvice interval...F22 is an amazing plane in theory but these factors are letting it down drastically, especially the service intervals.
Also this report of a dogfight with two F15s
The Israelis won't be allowed to get their hands on these (they were offered the chance in the late 80's and fucked us about)...Royal Saudi Air Force have them though, under the deal the RAF gets 1 year of payment breaks from their own which is the main reason the controversial deal was allowed to go through.
The biggest customer is the RAF with the Luftwaffe being second.
The real fancy piece of hardware that we have in the UK is the T45 Destroyer...the most powerful and advanced warship currently around. One T45 is able to stop any aeriel attack from any airforce in the world, and at the same time has Internet access and Ipod chargers available for all crew
