Merci/Thank you!
We are all waiting for an announcement all according to
our respective sensibilities and some as mere onlookers.
But really guys, even though the nature of E-foruming
warrants it, minute to minute is a bit much, good grief!
If only those elites had half the wits they pretend to AND
a little of the jolly folly that such brightness implies,
we’d have a chance of being shook up by Lula/Dilma
selecting the TEJAS or deciding instead to build their
own ninth gen A/C but as is… well, 65% Rafale/35%
Gripen NG but those percentages are as fixed as market, LOL !:rolleyes:
Good night, sleep tight & don’t take that wi-fi incoming
tweetgoogfaceblurg message alarm bracelet to bed….
just for tonight, please? :eek::D:cool:
Sincerely, Tay.
If, as I believe, there is no big ghost in the program
and that it’s a penny pinchin’ mismanagement move,
maybe France should just input a tad and buy Nimrods?
That makes little sense.
First, the MoD would scrap a new national program
then they’d buy foreign.
Even while being French as the said Atlantiques.
I cannot condone such foolery.
I still think those Nimrods should have survived the SDR.
Good day all, Tay.
and the soup-opera continues…
Oh! Soap soup, my favorite! :rolleyes:;)
Tay.
P.S. It was just lying there.
FYI
French diplomatic sources gave face value of the 2000Hs
upgrade package at 1.5 billion €.
But informed sources think it will have to go down somewhat
in order to procede.

@quadbike
There is a need for 40 aircraft for Nuclear Strike. It will not be flown by the IAF and will be an independent deal from the MRCA, as stupid as the idea is I think Rafale is in with a shout for that one.
http://livefist.blogspot.com/2010/09…and-wants.html
France has offered 40 Fast-track Rafales outside the MRCA as well hmm.
Exactly what i mentioned in post #683 et al. a while back.
Heck! If we take this another way it could become the
funniest acquisition program ever ending with 40 NUC Raffys,
a batch of twenty Phoons off the beleaguered Tranche 3 B,
20 Growlers to fudge China better and 40 Gripen NG to fudge
Pakistan with.
Of course full ToT from each and local prod. and special designs
and a kiss and bribe money!:D:D:D
Not only will it keep diversity of fleet to which IAF’s grease monkeys
must be used by now, but add those M2000s with dash nine type upgrade
and these perfectly serviceable Sukhois and FGFAs and voilà :
The Indian Swarm, lol.:D
Good day all, Tay.
I think mrmalaya meant “visited” as in :
Hello, Dear!! How are you? Did you have time to
think about my plane offer?
You know, half family visit/ half travelling salesman, LOL.
F-18, Quadbike not 16, unless you have infos?
It will be in the upcoming thread, don’t worry!
Tay.
@Scorpion82
Not like any but i’ll set up a thread for that discussion by week’s end,
analogic duties allowing, LOL.
Edit :
I’m more of a real life MF than digital life let believe.:o
😀
If Swerve is right, you should follow your own logic! LOL!
Please, how do you say : ultrarole in swedish?
Gripen NG, the Ultrarole fighter !
See, it’s that easy,:cool::rolleyes:
Good day all, Tay.
^^^
Nice one, sir!
You asked for it, PPP my old mate.:D
Good day all, Tay.
^^^^LOL !
Point!;)
OK! That’s enough! Can yours mow the lawn?
Cause mine does :
Good night all, Tay.
@Rookh
Sorry for getting your pseudo wrong last time, mate!
About :
So you only really have 1 example where the omnipotent Rafale excedes contemporary aircraft, and even then it’s not fully SEAD capable?
Well, there are more as in the same place/event, on november 29 ( 2009 )
“…a Rafale pilot was able, in barely 66 seconds, to send three MICAs on
enemy planes ( Two virtually downed ) and six AASMs on as many ground targets, some as far as 48kms. All destroyed! “
From DSI, #59, may 2010, p.99.
Actually Nic, even the NUC role can be done by any Rafale.
The B was designated because of added safety/security on
account of its two operators!
Any B in french inventory can do NUC with specific comm. boxes.
Plus any M of course and if push came to shove, so could the Cs.
Which is the whole concept of any plane, any role, anytime!
Let’s call it ultra suppa swing role extreme save some complain.
@Scorpion
That’s what i remembered. Thanks for the confirmation.
@EELighting
OH! What, with the mouth and absence of gentlemanship and fairplay,
I was convinced that he was of American persuasion.
But as long as you brought it up, if Brits do keep at Rafale bashing,
not only will they not get any ( No nice boy, no cookies! )
but it will hurt even more when we share a carrier and the poor FAA pilots can compare!
:D:cool::);):rolleyes::p:diablo:
Operational, agreed but Rafale had one each Pesa/Aesa
as it did in Switzerland.
Actually, what about the others?
I thought it was a requirement to show up with at least
a demo?
Anyone?
