BTW, the navy 2 seater was also the less capable :

– it had less internal fuel…so less range
– no internal gun
– it was the most expensive version
– it was not needeed for naval training purposes (the rafale M is very easy to fly and land on an aircraft carrier)

Save your tears for the people in your own personal life, you might run short of them if you use ’em for anonymous pilots in countries far away.

What’s wrong with having a thought for them ? it is not crying AFAIK :rolleyes:

It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever. – David St. Hubbins 😉

Which one pass us the feeling of more maneuverability, power and agility?

I’ve seen both in flight about 15 times each. Honnestly it is difficult to tell because their demos are quite different.

I would say :

– maneuvrability : rafale, especially at low speed
– agility and power : typhoon

but both a/c are very close anyway

RAfale 89 millions

Be carefull, this is the GLOBAL unit cost paid by the french tax payer for 234 rafale B/C and 60 rafale M/N

PS1 : The rafale M/N are much more expensive than the B/C so the 60 units of rafale M rise this global cost a bit.

The only visual difference between the Mirage 2000-5 Mk 2 and the existing Mirage 2000EGM/BGM planes is a fixed IFR probe near the canopy.

+the new radome (without pitot probe), the Data link antenna for the mica and the ICMS mk3 antennas on the tail, the new launch pylons under the fuselage for mica missiles 🙂

now which version is this.I lean to 2000N

Mirage 2000B from the training squadron EC2/5 “Iles de France”.
