it’s a family tea kettle then :p

either

OR

I would say Typhoon would win 51% of the time

You are counting the 1% of usual british luck, aren’t you ? :p

So we can exspect, that the Rafale will beat the Typhoon easily in the export-market.

I haven’t said the rafale was better than the typhoon, I’ve said it took 3 times more money for the typhoon to be as good as the rafale 🙂

The brains of four countries and air-services will be very helpfull by that.

Well, the brains of four countries has not made the typhoon a better aircraft than the rafale altough they spent 3 times more money for the development 😀

The IAF used advanced AA-12 Adder missiles that do not require continued pilot control and allow the attacking pilot to fire and fly away:

Wrong. The AA-12, like all other active BVRAAM (amraam, mica), need the support of the aircraft radar for mid-course updates until its seeker is in range (about 15 km from the target)

The Mirage 2000s carried the active Mica missile. Aerospace industry officials said that some of the radars the U.S. pilots encountered, including that of the Mirage 2000s, exhibited different characteristics than those on standard versions of the aircraft.

If France had sold mica to india and if the Indian mirage 2000 could use them, it would really be a big scoop. 😮

What will be the mica IR’s role ? Will it replace the Magic family of missiles ( dunno the most current one), or will it be just a complement of the MICA EM for BVR missions ?

both.

It replaces the R550 magic II as the french close range missile (mica uses TVC for high maneuvrability after launch)

data link, INS and lock after launch capabilities allow the mica IR to be used as a BVR missile too (it has the same range as the mica EM)

BTW France has ordered more mica IR than mica EM (470 IR and 370 EM)
