LOL, Phelgan!

All sorts of strange things being uttered these days :

Scroll down the page for an analysis on the F-35’s
possible termination of sorts.
Thought-provoking at least!:D

Here’s another oldie but it gives equal ground to all,
including those whom may just be joining about Thales
in regard to the Rafale :

And here’s a guy with much to say :

If you scroll down the page, you’ll find the piece on
terminating the F-35 that buzzes around the net!
Rather interesting, i’d say!

Good day all.

P.S. Whatever happened TO Al-Dhafra?:)

Let’s double that bet(ease)!

@jackjack :

OSF has had one channel ( pun intended ) to make better,
not “fix” and both are slated for upgrade. One such improvement
is on the IR sensor but do understand that, while Sofradir and
FLIR are busy developing a newer set of receptors it doesn’t
render the old one useless. It it part of the upgrade PROCESS!

DDG NG is to be upgraded.
Because “the threaths , they are a changin’ ” : sing along, guys.

Damoclès XF is slated for induction at next batch of Raffys. (2013+)

Rover is being installed as we write which is both late and normal as
our US comrades took their f.ck..g time delivering it. Pass the blame

Production delays are very URSS-like inasmuch as they are
decided by the State for its own reasons ( financial ).

AESA is under initial production and slated for induction at next batch.

Engines could already be on the plane but everyone is trying to get
most of the cost to be someone else’s burden. Integration by Dassault
is the part still unknown, under discussion on A-D for instance, lol.

But judging from recent training, tne engines are doing fine!

You may not believe me/us.
What is true fact will not change though; be warned!

Actually, one can draw a straight line from the F-16 buy
to the US rebuke for the UAE’s need of long range weapons
to the buy of 60 M2000-9 with the Black Shaheen ( A slightly
down-ranged version of the Scalp/Storm Shadow. ) to the
exchange of those for Rafale with 9T engines and Meteor
in effect shifting the main air platform’s origins.

Some wonder about the small inclusions of the sawtooth
design. They go with VLO/stealth as they interrupt any
surface with enough smoothness and/or continuity to,
in effect again, break it into smaller pieces.

On LO Rafale, the use is broader though those in the
engines intakes are a nice touch.

Get a look at this :

After all, not everything is about RCS size.
Good day all.

^^^^

I think that at last i found someone who reads the links.;)

Thank you Spitfire, as usual, for that which is almost as
great as the fact that, yes, the Rafale has it made now.

This is the “permission” that frees Lula. The FAB wants
its new planes and finally caught on to the danger of
losing everything.
:rolleyes:
Good day all.

Well put, missileer.
I agree wholeheartedly to those precisions about fora distinctions.
Would you please extend my gratitude to Mercurius for his intervention.
I had tried a PM at the time but it apparently never reached him.

Good next olde inn session to both of you.:)

I’m not sure, toocool. Coming from an F-5 or an AMX,
the first flight should see a lot of teeth gritting amidst
the huffin’n’puffing!!!

They should get CédR to give them rides at first!:p
