Good News: The Eurofighter Typhoon is Not Obsolete for European NATO countries.
The Eurofighter Typhoon dominates anything Russia can throw against it. The F-22 and F-35 will never fight a Typhoon outside exercises.
A decade or two from now, there could be one Typhoon and 4-8 stealthy unmanned wingmen flying 100-200 km ahead of it. The Typhoon pilot would simply tell them what to do.

Let's say that Saudi or Qatar (Typhoon users) vs. Israel (F-35) is highly unlikely, but I wouldn't say impossible. It's really hot there, there's not enough water, and the Earth is heating up. Throw in some religion, and there's quite the possibility of something going hot.

Saudi pilots are so bad that nothing saves them.
Flying a fighter jet is super fun. Becoming a fighter pilot is a privilege
enjoyed by wealthy Saudi princes. They are, by far, the worst students at
Pensacola, mastering only the basics of takeoff, landing, some flying, and the
fundamentals of weapons and radar systems. They cannot
hold their own, no matter what aircraft they fly.

That reads like LLM generated clickbait. Better and worse are highly subjective when evaluating fighter aircraft. Better at what? What’s the availability rate? How expensive is it? What sensors does it have? How trained are the pilots?
