12F, Danell baby : 12F!!!
Don’t quiz him on Agapanthe and the likes, he’ll nail you hard!
:diablo:

djcross got it, Max. No visible anechoic treatment to be seen anywhere
around that room. The height of placement has me puzzled a tad; I’m
not sure why it is elevated to such an extent. Then again, as some mates
commented, it could be pure fakery and propaganda 😉 but you can see
the slots in the back for airflow control.

Exactly what i meant; thank you for the example.:rolleyes:

Good day all.

Take a look at the link that i gave with the picture, Erko.
Chinese officials being shown new stuff.
Might be the journo’s mistake of course and yet…

Read you later.

Hi, guys! I just thought that as long as we’re waiting for pics,
we might as well browse these over to pass time :

A nice assortment below and this one :

where spotters can have a laugh, a perk from surfing,
netsam if you will. 😎

Have a good day all.

Obligatory, my buddy, i like you too so as a friend,
I will warn you that you seem to be developing a
fan boy/troll borderline personality;) .
You just wrote :

Rafale would be ill suited to carry out tests with Meteor, as it only has one way data link.
In all likelyhood, some modification has to be done on Meteor before it can be used on Rafale.

So here is MBDA’s view of this point :

Meteor also provides two-way data-link communication between missile and
aircraft during flight, even at maximum stand-off ranges. This solution also
supports the possibility of third party targeting using MIDS or a Link-16 type
data-link.

Which is taken from the PDF on this page :
http://www.mbda-systems.com/mbda/site/ref/scripts/siteFO_contenu.php?lang=EN&noeu_id=194&arbo=2&page_id=300
and is preceded in the text by the mention that the Meteor
has autonomous engagement capabilities, of course.

Seeing that Raffy’s have MIDS/Link 16, which is shown below, er, moot point, mate!

The Rafale fighters used the Link-16 datalink network for allied aircraft. This technology ensures Rafale’s interoperability with other weapon systems, in particular for a balanced allocation of firing plans between the different aircraft. Since all possible scenarios are recorded on the ground, if one Rafale does not hit its target another one can take over to complete the mission.

Read you later, good day all, TAY.

I liked the ending sentence on that last post, swerve.
I’d even go as far as claim it a miracle that the French
Govt/DGA team is accomplishing this continuous upgrade
through successive standards/blocks on the Rafale program
considering how we never seemed able to manage such before.
It’s every soldier’s dream : A whole lot less bureaucracy; a few
more usable weapons on the field!:)
