so has the mica IR 🙂

Many things can influence the outcome, the DERA Joust system was used to try and smooth some of the anomalies out, I understand the concerns that the enemy flight parameters might have errors/omissions, but to date its the best guage we have in the public domain.

yes, many things, especialy marketing.

If I undrestand the joust simulation well, they have simulated BVR combat between the su-35 and other fighters, right ?

ok, they have basic datas about the su-35 and its weapon system and all the data they want about the typhoon.
Therefore, a su-35 vs typhoon simulation is only half-worthless.

Now, explain me how they can simulate a su-35 vs rafale bvr combat with no serious data (missiles, ECM, radar) from both fighters ?
they can’t.

but to date its the best guage we have in the public domain

As it is the only one, it is also the worst :p

Is the discipline in other army so strong it is harder to release such kind of video? Or is it just a result of our pilot’s usual wine drinking behaviour? 🙂

There have been military sanctions for the pilots after those videos being released everywhere on the net.
cameras and camcorders are forbidden in all military french planes since then.

I have never seen a video of a USAF plane flying low… just for the fun … Is it that the consequences of releasing such a video would be really bad for the pilot?

You haven’t searched hard enough then :p

All the information you have are in the same category

yes. What your point ?
I’m not the one who is inventing funny stats.

So for you to call one report propaganda and say what your saying as gospel

Did I say that ?
sorry, I just give my opinion.

Fact is you nor anyone else know anything.
STOP TRYING TO BE AN EXPERT

I know one thing : those statistics are bogus and you don’t need to be an expert to realize that.
and that’s just my opinion (and probably Dassault and Sukhoi opinion too) :p

You got to be right, they didn’t consult with you first! Because we all know you have all the information. Got forbid, these people who actually do these thing for living not consult you! What were they thinking.

I mean, they have million dollar equipments to do these test and they have resources at hand, but hey next time they should consult you and your amazing skills at doing google search.

– May be they should consult Dassault and Sukhoi first to get all the classified data and if it’s not enough i will give them some tips about google search :p
You know, millions $ supercomputers don’t make google search better than a 500 $ PC if you only use the “I’m felling luky” button :diablo:

– they could also use their millions to hire a better marketing team. :rolleyes:

– Or Perhaps they could organize a counterstrike tournament to make something usefull with their supercomputers ? what do you think ? :confused: 😎

1- video cameras. This pictures has been taken during the landing tests on the Foch.

2- No.

They have chosen the worst solution : they asked Bae to lead the project using the design of thales UK.

As the project was glued in political and financial mud, they have given the whole managment to an american company. don’t know if it’s going to help (i hope so) :confused:

As usual the british are trying to sit between 2 chairs (well 3 chairs now :p ) instead of choosing one of them.

IMHO, they should have chosen Bae for the managment AND the design.
