Not here. They’re regarded as emergency communications.

The trouble is though they are all fixed targets known publicly, probably listed on the internet for example. Targeting would soon knock them off one by one or many at a time though it would be an added target set to take care of slowing the overall campaign marginally i would think.

Greg you are very dishonest because the quote is about the f1 (which I already knew) and you just lied till the beginning or you dindn’t make your “job” of analysis. You posted “random” articles in Greek to mislead everyone but the issue is I translated it and these are very good for the rafale F2 instead that you want us to believe.

You even managed to mislead scooter.

Oh please, I’ve just read through the posts and theres nothing wrong except you cannot seem to handle the fact that the Rafale was not that amazing afterall and only proved to be medicore in combat, your just going to have to get over that.

Isn’t it rumored that the F-16 literally has the RCS signature of a flying barn?

I think that applies to most jets of its era or before, with a few exceptions by luck and not design though such as he MIG-21 or another military aircraft though not a jet the AN-2 which I think has a very low RCS being all wood or something, dunno really for sure but its what I have read a few times

The Russians would never bomb some random village but concentrate on the air bases, which pose a high threat to their shipping.

The recent Georgia conficlt proves that theory is very very wrong, Russia will quite happily bombard villages and towns if it puts pressure on the civilian populace to quit and give up.

The F-16 Blk 60+ would need a lower RCS(combat loaded vs. SH) to compensate for the radar advantage in the SH.

That very same radar advantage would be a disadvantage if the RWR in the 16 starts going off. Also radar distance advantage whilst nice does not automaticly mean weapons engagement distance and with the Super Hornet being not the most spritely of fighters so i wouldn’t mind the 16 could out accelerate it and get a better BVR shot long before the Hornet is up to a good weapons release speed.

The Rafale is a generation ahead of other fighter aircraft are in production today

Ok thats really stretching it to far and into the realms of BS if we are honest about it.
