In close combat the MiG 29 would be more than likely the better of the two.

The only a/c I see as a match for the F-22 is the Eurofighter Typhoon.
In terms of maneuverability they both have things going for them, as do they in speed climb rate, avionics, weapons etc etc. The Eurofighter has the advantage of a better pilots interface while the F-22 has its stealth capability.
Top notch fighters..
I think this whole thread is plain silly.... Its retarded to argue that ANYTHING can match the F-22 in ANY combat environment...
Damn right - cutting through all the BS. I wonder how the final production F-35s will stack up.

The Typhoon II is not a generation 5 fighter. Its a Generation 4.5 fighter, much like the Super Hornet.
The F-22 is faster, far more manuverable, stealthy, can carry a heavier/larger weapons load, makes less demands on the pilot to fly, is more fuel efficient, has a longer range. I don't know where you got the idea that the Typhoon as a better pilots interface considering the EAP first flew in 1986 (the first actual Typhoon in 1994). The F-22 has had the advantage of nearly 10 extra years of technological development.
Can you be 100% sure of that?And the F-22 is not any more maneuverable than the EF, the EF can sustain 9 G's for as long as there is fuel, the F-22 cannot.
