And how would anti-stealth measures have overcome the fundamental limitations as stated in the article? Or are you simply stating your baseless belief?

Could you give me a reputable source in which MINDEF gave such an official statement? I’ve been trying to find it to no avail. As far as I remember, the depreciation of the dollar made the F-15 even more attractive, but I don’t remember anything on it being a decisive factor, despite a Rafale technical superiority (which is, as far as I know, a claim. I have on the other hand heard a rather good source that the F-15 was judged to be technologically half a generation ahead on key areas)

I was stating the obvious. Not everything requires ‘sources’. If you think that the F 22 will stay invisible for ever then you’re the bigger fool. :rolleyes:

That was in 1994, seeing that stealth has come a long way after that, you can be sure anti-stealth measures have progressed further from that as well.

This could have serious implications, if true. Either this will accelerate an Israeli air strike or they will get some promises regarding the Raptor from the U.S

So basically Eurofighter is a 4th gen aircraft at 5th gen price. How nice.

They are getting a midlife upgrade which would bring them to SMT+ standards which is not bad compared to the potential adversaries in the region 😀

Back to the PAK FA, What happend to the Russian Active-Stealth (Plasma) thing. All new designs look like F 22 copies.

History will tell you which one is better. And the LCA is not over by any means. Whatever you may argue the project is still very much alive.

May be, just may be if India was isolated off the arms market like China was, may be we would a had sever indigenous fighters by now.

More over i do not see further room for development for the Typhoon. All the partner nations are going to get more F 35s while France remains totally committed to the Rafale.
