@jj,
afaik Selex and Thales are using different TRMs. Thales was rejected to provide the antenna for the Gripen AESA radar and Selex was selected instead.

my mistake, not the complete module but i think you will find that the TR gallium arsenide unit is the same manufacturer
do we know if thales makes the rest of the module or does someone make it for them ?
as i posted above, we know that the swiss do the ‘connection’ of all the modules to the backend

its thales aesa in name only and are using the same T/R modules as gripen
also

The highly complex wired back structures that will be supplied by RUAG link the individual radar modules together and connect the RBE-2 aesa radar to the airframe.

Hmmmm.

If you’d heard some of the stories and rumours about sightings of “black triangles” in and around the North-West of England (the area in which Warton is located, for the benefit of non-UK members) over the past couple of decades or so, then you might not be quite so confident about the “late” bit.

:p

they say it will fly at woomera flight-test range in 2011 but if you include someone posted that they saw taranis undated pics in 2008 with ‘woomera like’ background, it gets even more interesting
its possible that next year may just be the public release

a little know fact and worth googling is that UK was the leader in VLO when it shared its tech with usa who had the R&D money
i wont mention that the atomic bomb was the same story and the aussie mark oliphant involvement

he left out the 2-3 tanks to get a similar range

if you paid attention here you would know its a IR coating, the rcs is in the composites

they have decided to get the f-35 and $16b is a life time cost, the flyaway is still going to be around $60m

Relates to the F-35 due to SK considering the F-15SE vs. the F-35 and others.

they are being offered the f-35, boeing is dreaming there
boeing needs to market to those that arent being offered the f-35

I`ve been saying this all along! Lula is not stupid to choose a controversial very expensive fighter option smack in the middle of a key national election!

Let`s see how the election goes…

Hammer

saying things some people dont want to hear sometimes brings funny responses, as you have found in other posts you have made here 😀

on politics, how does the other political parties feel about the competition, it sounds like they arent pro-rafale

TMor, its over, its back to square one
they dragged it out since september and now its given to the next president who will call for a re-evaluation and put their stamp to a decission

“The purchase decision of 36 French fighters will stay after the election. In full electoral campaign, Lula does not want hitting the hammer over an issue of 5 billion euros. He believes it would be like offering a match to light the fire for the opposition”

The F-X2 program is deadlocked at the end of the government of President Luiz Inacio. How to be a “Homo Politicus,” Defense Minister Nelson Jobim know that their ability to infer the decision even worse is closed and can not generate any decision.

Less than six months of passing the government to his successor President Luiz Inacio is in the same situation in October 2002 when then-President Fernando Henrique Cardoso came to Sierra decision candidates / Luiz Inácio and then to the future president, to be sworn in on January 1, 2003.

Any decision yet on the government of Luiz Inacio will necessarily have the endorsement of candidates and candidates: Dilma, Sierra and also Marina Silva.

But that alone does not divert the issue, because what the government would do now is to communicate the FAB, which can begin negotiations to formalize the contract and purchase with a particular manufacturer.

In the new military commander and the formation of a new military staff could mean the loss of unity which the current Air Force commander, met with much sacrifice. Anticipating such difficulties on the horizon Brigadier Saito worked for a walk in the decision last year.

And the indication of a choice now does not mean that the lobbyists and pressure to finish. And the Indication of a choice now does not mean That the lobbyists and pressure to finish.

What is real is what the Mirage 2000C / B should be disabled in 2014 and F-5EM/FM are flying above the scheduled times with a lack of accelerated wear vectors in the FAB. The scheme is incomplete and a half decade late.

A period of crisis in FAB is approaching the tunnel, whose light is not its purpose, but the glare of absolute crisis of lack of means to maintain a minimum capacity of vectors in operation.
