Reminded*, Ta!

The 1,000-2,000 figure afore mentioned was recently reported, I suspect that was given for the CAESAR demonstrator.

I think you can pack in bigger antennas with an AESA compared to a mechanically steered array..given similar space …Problem comes with cooling etc but i guess the EF was designed upfront to accomodate such a radar in the future…

Regarding Tranche 2s and 3s, yes. Although with a bit of jiggery-pokery here and there Tranche 1s could be fitted with Captor-E. The boffins have always had cooling firmly placed in their minds.

I’m looking forward to ‘Radar-3’ for the RAF. It’ll be built on Bright Adder apparently.

Su-35 in combat will come with wing tip pods, 4AAM with in engines. and highest posssible altitude/speed. powerfull sensors allow Su-35 pilot to plan his mission well thought out ahead of time. 2 Rafale cannot kill Su-35 as there is no missiles in Rafale that can be launched at safe distance. combined that with weak aerodynamic performance the NEZ for missiles launched from Rafale is reduced even further.

Which “weak aerodynamic performance the NEZ”… missiles are you referring to?

Very good point

Well, we have Tom ‘Bane’ Hardy. The man that broken Christian ‘Batman’ Bale’s back. 😀

what is the range of the aesa update for Typhoon compared to Su-35 pesa?

Some sources quote 350-400km with a RCS of 3m of the Irbis-E, how accurate this is is not 100% certain but is doable I’m sure.

Finding out range for the Captor-M (mech radar) is difficult enough let alone for the Captor-E (AESA). Obviously, ranges for all radars mentioned are classified as we all know. Speculation at best. The current Captor-M has just undergone an upgrade, most details aren’t known but an increase in range might have been enhanced.

However, there is one thing (and many others) our misinformed Typhoon chap misses out in, is Field of Regard. Irbis-E has an azimuth coverage of 120 degrees, Captor-E has an azimuth coverage of some 220 degrees.

Su-35, of course.

Moon_Light,

Why?

Because Slowman/InternationalPirate is selling the F-15SE to South Korea, that’s why.

Plus, he knows sod all about Typhoon, nor it’s price, nor how it should be used. Want proof, visit Eurofighter Starstreak and see how he’s continuously corrected.

And, it was a very long time ago since the Typhoon was officially referred to as EF-2000.

And another stupid thread. It’s like the early 00s all over again…

Dassault should trust HAL to produce Rafales, trust comes both ways. As said, Dassault along with everyone else that took part knew India’s requirements.

Those are DESCISIONS Dassault needed to make before entering the tendering process..The MRCA was always supposed to be made in India and involved TOT as far as i know (from reading about it , mostly on this forum)

I believe you’re in the US, bring_it_on? Here in the UK, and Europe too I’m sure, it was widely reported that India wanted significant input in ToT, industrial benefits and what have you. Dassault knew this from the very beginning, at one point I understand that Dassault/France had no problems with ToT (willing for 100% transfere as some reliable sources reported…), however on the other hand during the Paris Air Show a few months before the L1 bidder was announced the CEO of Dassault stated that they’d discuss such benefits after (or if at that time) India down selected Rafale as L1. To me this indicates they’re not fully committed to the deal.

Every manufacturer that took part knew too well what India wanted, or wants I should say. The deal includes a hell of a lot more than just merely buying aircraft.

But not the one backed by the US government. The USAF backed the Northrop Grumman’s SABR, but the DAPA picked RACR and created a configuration exactly the opposite of the USAF F-16s because of pricing.

The US DoD and State department is backing the F-35, but the Silent Eagle is currently leading the contest because of pricing and offset benefits.

Simply put, the DAPA doesn’t care about the national origin; only the price, offset, and value preposition.

Do you know why Cow’s poops a squirty poo, a Horse’s is kinda like a dollop and a Sheep’s is something like little balls, Slowman?…

…No? So how come you can’t tell the difference (let alone reply) between BAE Systems Inc and BAE Systems Plc when you don’t know sh*t! You’re running around in circles with the same usual replies as on Starstreak.

Ta!
