Shouldn't they be looking for more Rafales instead of Typhoons? Or do they assess Typhoon to be a better air-to-air fighter than Rafale, hence looking to buy the former?
I had read that the Qatari typhoons with the mk0 radar outperformed the rafales in air to air with the f-15QA being the worst in bvr out of the three. The report was on twitter so remain unreliable. Let's see if the rbe2xg comes first or the ecrs mk2.
They had initially ordered 24 and now increased it by 12 for 2 full squadrons. They followed the same process for Rafale.
Should be obvious in terms of detection range. The radar is newer than RBE2 AESA and is bigger and more powerful. Plus capable of repositioning, huge advantage. The F-15 may not have faced a radar issue though, rather big RCS and poor aerial performance.
Otoh, PAF's J-10C have exercised with the Typhoon in Qatar, so that's good experience for them. It's possible that their GaN radar equalized or outperformed the Typhoon's radar. And yes, the Chinese have been operating GaN radars on their fighter jets for almost a decade now, and by extension PAF in the last 2 years. Everybody else has been slow to the party.

In an interview with Aviation Week, Leonardo’s Vice President for Eurofighter Typhoon Exports, Constantino Pravini Rosati, revealed that the Italian aerospace giant was formally designated by the Eurofighter Consortium in 2023 to spearhead the Philippine campaign after the PAF issued a Request for Information (RFI).
Rosati confirmed that, based on the PAF’s budgetary allocation for 40 aircraft, Leonardo can supply 32 Eurofighter Typhoon Tranche 5 jets backed by one of the most comprehensive weapons packages ever proposed to Manila.
The package includes the MBDA Meteor beyond-visual-range missile, the ASRAAM short-range air-to-air missile, the Brimstone air-to-ground missile, and the Storm Shadow cruise missile, among other advanced munitions.
Leonardo further emphasized that the offer would be structured through a Government-to-Government (G2G) framework, supported by financing schemes that allow Manila to spread payments across several years.

The Eurofighter Typhoon could become the next aircraft to add the air-to-air optimized variant of the laser-guided 70mm Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) rocket to its armament options.
BAE Systems, manufacturer of APKWS and the British partner in the Eurofighter consortium, recently confirmed that feasibility studies for the integration of APKWS on the Typhoon were underway, an especially timely development considering that, earlier this week, NATO fighters were used to shoot down Russian drones that had entered Polish airspace, in an event that you can read about here.
