Rafale had entered official in Romanian;) AF tender…

Try 210KM for the latest version.

realy … source please.. cause almost everything said 110…

Just because weopons are not shown officially it does not mean that they dont exist.

😀 hmm so you do realize that F-35 will have laser weapons and even a rail gun don’t you ? 😀 See above you own words ….
TADAAAAAAAAAAAAA

QED

unless as i said Brazil is playing the NATO vs Russia game and lookingh for points with NATO

I think is about commonality of weapons available already in their arsenals. Also they operated Western Based planes , maintenance procedures are known (albeit different).. It would be too costly to go Russian on it.

I’m surprised about SU-35 being out. For a country of that size, shouldn’t be a good solution?

Probably failed at some parameters.. more like weapons.. too much of a hassle to switch to russian weapons when your industry produce NATO equivalent weapons.

“MiG a/c since 1937”:

-“MiG-23 MLD: a new missiles introduced during their service were R-73 and R-27.”

I can’t imagine the F-14 survive the encounter with this. Even R-60M was too much for the F-14.

Now this is funny as hell.
Dude get you pill…
R-27 was a unreliable crappy missile (just check its performace in Etiopian theater)
23 MLD was a aerodynamically improved version … only in the 90 it was offered as electronically upgrade to the already crappy radar.

R-60 was a poor attempt of a maneuverable missile .. it lacked the IR seeker to be all-aspect missile .. That never happend not even in 60MK (which was just integrated with HMS on the Mig 29 because the R-73 super missile was latte in delivery)

R-73 missile was not available to service use until 87-88. Not to mention that it turned out to be a flare eater… just ask Luftwaffe. Only thing was the trust vectoring in it.. a novelty in a missile that reach series..
But that tech was already tested / prototyped by West in the 70’s.

And about Mig-25 it was a maintenace nightmare. Bulgarian AF switched them for more Mig-23.

When you will got outside that big red country of yours.. you will learn that propaganda do tricks with your mind.
Just face it Russia and USSR can’;t compare with West in R&D and Electronics.

I see those S-300V uses a chain of Antenna to communicate probably via Data Link to Radars , C3I and Missile , that is interesting because if you jam the data link you can get the job done , that is probably IMO the weakest link in the chain , Uncle Sam may be well aware of this 🙂

What is interesting is the inside the command vehicles and the view of radar screen. Unless they mix old images, there is no visible technological progress compared with older SAM’s. I mean I would expect more compact dials/etc.. Maybe more to a computer screen. I don;t get a feeling of being a technology wander.
