LOL! The average fanboys wet dream

Get some rest, will you? Thanks in advance.

And b/w every material posted by you had been already and were discussed extensively before. You’ll easily find some good stuff on the web if you want the prevailing opinion today on the subject*… And, no, AoA doesn’t refer to the degree of happiness of Rafale’s Fan boys.

*Have a look at the SH flight manual. 50deg operational (50% more than a Rafale).

Airbus to Pursue US Army Helo Program With X3-Based Platform

Airbus Helicopters CEO Bruno Even said the company has proposed an aircraft design based on its X3 technology, which recorded a speed of more than 290 miles per hour before it was retired in 2014.

Even said Airbus is enhancing the technology to meet future military requirements for high-speed helicopters.

IMOHO, it can only be that someone at Airbus misstook FARA for the Spanish word … ¡caray!​​*

it is not caped, it will unfold when you reach 10G,
airframe is not limited to the wing and if you refer to Rafale it is not a “redesign” but a structural strengthening in specific areas for the Naval version (landing gear and hook), the basic airframe is the same, as I was saying.

If you watch early Rafale videos, you will see a slightly different HUD symbology, mainly that preceding the high AoA test flight, of which we have not much documentation to submit, still they managed to record AoA passed 100* and negative speed of 40kt.

No
No
It’s not because they reached the vaunted 100° experimentally that it has any meaning during operations where Rafales have a lower max available AoA than a 1970’s F-14 Tomcats…

AoA and slow speed fight is certainly not where you want to compare your aircraft (think l‘effet truelle and la boîte à meuh)*.

*“Relase stick. Relase stick…”

The main problem faced by the Swede is their low number of airframe… and available pilots. They can get some T/x fitted with Air policing cap and just make for the delay as efficiently (a T/X will certainly outdog a Gripen; so when you’d have to go visual, it could be better to be flying the former than the latter).

French Rafales conduct first Meteor firings

French Air Force (FAF) and navy Rafale combat aircraft conducted the first test firings of the Meteor beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile on 13 February, the Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA), the French defence procurement agency, announced on its website on 15 February.

The first firing was conducted in daylight and the second at night.

Growler in EU would be a good for sure.

Thank you. Got some background info on Reuters. That sounds crazy. Militants killing Indian personnel in Cachemire and this simultaneously on Iran (edit= as I understand now it’s the other way around)?

or the retaliation?

Post some details if you have

Edit:
Never noticed that their Tomcat have an entirely new radome with a much smaller radar dish
