Carrier trapping at night (Rafale) – Full HUD
Don’t know if this has been posted before.
Nice!
It’s BoB and the Bf109* all over again. I am surprised that no more imagination is surfacing on that debate (well chosen topic for a December discussion).
Let’s put it that way: how did the USSR see it during large scale exercises?
*No you don’t need small “agile” bi-plan that can curl themselves around each bomber to escort a bomber formation effectively above enemy territory. The first jet long range escort fighter would have been the MDD F-88 that ended-up being the magic Voodoo (F-101). Not quite a turn-on a-dime small fighter.
CAN you stop with the anti-fr thingy stupido, I am fr. So go the hell please yourself on another criptic way away from me. thanks in advance.
Poor Indians, how miserable should they feel to not be That great (read Fr). So why did Dassault commit to the Mmrca and offer local prof and a ToT package if None in India CAN do better than follow orders? Si much muddy background in all That. I am wonderring how the Rafale team CAN let such smelly verbiage flow in their name Without ever publishing a single denial.
When you don’t know, don’t talk (further more not make false assessments)…
Are you talking to yourself?
And by the way, lower That tone.
Dans une carte blanche publiée ce mardi 5 décembre dans les journaux belges Le Soir et De Tijd, la ministre française plaide la cause du Rafale pour remplacer les F-16 en Belgique face à ses concurrents, le F-35 américain et l’Eurofighter Typhoon européen. Mettant en avant l’offre française de partenariat stratégique et économique attachée au Rafale de Dassault, Florence Parly tente de contourner l’incertitude juridique liée à l’absence d’une offre formelle de la France aux autorités belges, alors que Lockheed Martin et Eurofighter ont, eux, remis une offre officielle.

In a white letter published Tuesday, December 5 in the Belgian newspapers Le Soir and De Tijd, the French Minister pleads the cause of the Rafale to replace the F-16 in Belgium against its competitors, the American F-35 and Eurofighter Typhoon European. Highlighting the French offer of strategic and economic partnership attached to the Rafale of Dassault, Florence Parly tries to circumvent the legal uncertainty related to the absence of a formal offer from France to the Belgian authorities, while Lockheed Martin and Eurofighter have submitted an official offer.

There are no official info regarding any talks on the Belgian side. So far, ONE speaker (from the FR speaking part of the country) expressed his support to the French offer. No gov official. No member of the military.
The MoD officially disqualified the “Letter” (and the related offer).
Fact is that the level of activity is high, but to say who is talking to who would be another thing.
Ocean Infinity, a company based in Houston, Texas, that is negotiating with the Malaysian government to undertake the search on a “no-find, no-fee bounty” principle is now sending its search vessel to begin an operation early in January.
Mark Antelme, a spokesman for Ocean Infinity, confirmed to The Daily Beast that although the company still does not have a final contract in place with the Malaysians it has decided to get its search vessel, Seabed Contractor, to the Indian Ocean.
EDIT:
More details today (Rare.us)
[Ocean Infinity] say the reduced time is due in part because of the technology they will be using on its Seabed Constructor [(the ship)].
Although the equipment is said to be unsuited to turbulent water, the period between December and March provides the calmest seas, and officials maintain their optimism.
Australian oceanographers say they also found what they believe to be “a most-likely location of the aircraft” 100 miles to the north of the original search area, and believe there is an “unprecedented precision and certainty” about the likelihood of finding 370 there.

and why comparing the size of a telescope with that of planes (from someone that like to call himself “eagle”, that’s full of irony)?!!
ye ye… optics do not rely on optics anymore… Sure…
Don’t Forget to Check Radar precision in SaR mode before going to bed also.
Optics face inherent volumic challenges That CAN be bypassed with new technologies. I also mentionned the data flow That is a limitting factor with optical sensor pod mounted.
Sorry to to put some light in you cave.
@Eagle1:
Not anymore. Staring sensors are small clustered cells with very high definition data already digitalised.

Good to be European and a fighter jokey, no? 🙂
Hallow, Shrinks are cheap nowadays. You’ll get some adequate support. Relieve yourself my friend. I can’t be your single obsession the way it goes.
