i hope no one is taking ac on rafale seriously
It may simply work for many outdated radars, or it may simply not exist at all… Not a big deal.
the emission recorder looking for a pattern of a random wavelength isnt gunna work, what else
So you think it will never be defeated ?
By the way, i don’t think Arthuro intended that AC works, but just quoted it as a rumor.
Jacko :
I’m afraid of truth ? Are you supposed to tell the truth about Rafale ?
One “word”, to replace a very very long message which took me more than an hour to write, but which i finally judged a bit too aggressive, and while much more accurate about your habbits than you when you talk about Rafale, may
the mood.
LoL
PS : Oh, i forgot the new LoL smiley :
Good night everybody.
Or am I completely wrong here?
Factually, those who have read this forum regularly for years KNOW that when it comes to make a negative comment on Rafale, he would be very well connected to the French community…
He had no problem phoning an unnamed French source for the 8G limit, distorting what i told him which was more than enough.
He had no problem phoning his French anonymous friend about Singapore, and claimed several times how he got confessions from an unnamed French TP having flown both aircraft (RAfale and Typhoon) according to who Typhoon is so superior.
There was a time when he was repeating again and again that Typhoon was a generation ahead of Rafale in many areas etc.
So, Loke, you’re true. We shouldn’t bother to discuss with such a troll. The problem is that he has been polluting our threads for years with fallacious claims (SOPHISMS, really, intentional, or not). Do not wonder about why all French are against him here.
Because we have to choose between him, or our journalists/AdA guys/pilots.
You know what i mean ? There is demonstratively something wrong.
..and I have yet to see AdlA/Dassault endorsing this statement.
We don’t have to argue with you. Enough said.
For starters, this wasn’t an official statement, it was a statement made by an AdlA officer at an official press conference (and then repeated and endorsed by the French blogs). There is a small and subtle difference.
No, simply, no.
This is when people developing arguments look smart [but… etc].
Again, i could argue again and again, but you’re trying to write usual sophisms, so please, stop it. In addition, you definitly admitted that whatever you’ll publish (you or Mr Lake), it will never have as much weight as the AdA official statement. This is the reason why you are now trying to question the officialness of the statement.
Let’s wait for the RAF to make an official statement. I didn’t change my mind, only such a thing will make me wonder about what our guy said. By the way, my conclusion remains unchanged too, and i never said neither that Rafale was definitely superior to Typhoon nor that Rafale beat F-22 5 times out of 6.
Moreover, the claim made was counter-intuitive to the extent that balanced or neutral observers would suspect it.
Because sophisms and sophisms have made some believe or consider as “intuitive” a superiority of Typhoon over Rafale. So, yes, this news is “counter-intuitive”, though genuinely “open-minded” people, while still questioning the event, should begin to question what we all were told before about something which had yet to happen for real.
Read my last message.
Well, it’s not like Saab is playing as fair as it gets, considering the lobbying they put on the FAB through Embraer and former FAB leaders.
We don’t know what Boeing and Dassault are doing.
What standards? By whom? More drama??…
You joined on 18th May 2009. Had you already read the forum before ?
Go read what happened to every public guy having a favorable opinion on Rafale… Glen Torpy, Peter Collins, Moussez, etc.
No, it’s clear only to you and I know why I insist on some things, when I insist on them. So, to make long story short how about you producing a mail from Dassault, similar to the one I got from EF GmbH??
Why Dassault ? Not interesting. AdA maybe.
That’s one other curious thing. What exactly did Lt.Col. say??
A bit of history…

This is the blog of Capitaine Romain. A pilot from the 1/7 Provence who flew over Afghanistan and wrote about his experience of war in a book.
Being well in touch, on the 27th of november, he said on the blog :
Je ne parviens pas à taire plus longtemps mon plaisir : Les pilotes qui font là -bas la démonstration des capacités du fleuron aéronautique français, portent vraiment très hautes les couleurs de la France, remportant de magnifiques victoires face aux autres nations.
Je donnerai ici de plus amples précisions la semaine prochaine! 🙂
Enhanced Google translation :
I can not remain silent any longer my pleasure, the pilots who are out there demonstrating the capabilities of the French aircraft, are brringing really high the colors of France, winning magnificent victories against other nations.
I’ll give here more details next week! 🙂
Unfortunately, he didn’t give details so early.
Remember at the same time…

According to Jack’s sources, Rafale and Typhoon weren’t supposed to have fought against each other. Rafale had met the Raptor, and results were to be “entirely as you’d predict.” (Jackonicko’s words here)
Then, on the 17th of December, the day when the press conference occured, Jean-Marc Tanguy published this article :

The RAF is not what it was
The first account reports made this morning by a French Rafale pilot reported a superiority of the French fighter Typhoon RAF during confrontations made in recent weeks, the UAE. The first confrontation involving four against four Typhoon Rafale ended with a 4-0 in favor of French. Despite, explains it, the carriage of air-air weapons fictitiously gradient. After a little degraded even arming, the Rafale has yet won, 3-1.
The Rafale has been confronted with the F22 on a flight, but in a limited combat air to air view. It would have been in the sights of U.S. fighter than once, says it does too.
The Rafale, it is understood, has greatly improved its reputation, especially among drivers UAE. He and repeatedly demonstrated its superiority across the spectrum missional in detecting sites of ground-air missiles that had not been updated by U.S. F-16CJ. Furthermore, the front sector optronics (OSF) has also enabled the detection and identification up to 40 kilometers an asset which prevents the aircraft exposed for visual identification at 3-4 km, which is necessary for most other types of aircraft.
Similarly, within a minute, a Rafale has fired six AASM on as many targets, at ranges of several tens of kilometers, while also taking three missiles air-air Mica. Back up, that day, a UAE driver …

A bit later, Jean-Dominique Merchet wrote his article :
http://secretdefense.blogs.liberation.fr/defense/2009/12/carton-plein-pour-le-rafale-lors-dexercices-aux-emirats.html
“Full house” for the Rafale, during exercises in the UAE
The participation of six combat aircraft Rafale F3 recent Air Tactical Leadership Course (DPAC) held in United Arab Emirates from November 15 to December 9 was a “total success”. “We have full board” ensures Lt. Colonel Fabrice Grandclaudon, commander of the squadron 1 / 7 Provence (Saint-Dizier).
The participation in this major international exercise was very important for France while negotiations for the sale of 60 Rafale UAE continues. Clearly, a good point was marked by the French with their colleagues UAE. Especially the availability of Rafale has been “exemplary” They were able to participate in the exercises for two patrols of four aircraft per day from the base of Al Dhafra
The “plateau” for this meeting was ATLP impressive F-16 C / D Block 60 and Mirage 2000-9 (UAE), F-16 MLU (Jordan), F-7 [a modernized version of the MiG-21] (Pakistan ) Typhoon [Eurofighter] (United Kingdom) and F-16 CJ and F-22 (USA). Over AWACS and tankers. The exercise is to simulate raids important to forty aircraft, in “realistic missions represent a high intensity conflict”. Equipment must face a oppositon air and ground to air.
In terms of air combat, its frontal area optronics (OSF) has enabled the Rafale to visually identify targets up to 30/40 miles, while identifying habitual air defense is between three and five kilometers. In terms of electronic warfare, gusts were detected ground-air threats that the F-16 CJ U.S., which is the main purpose had not seen. A Gust was able to simulate the firing six air-ground munitions (A2SM) of 6 different targets (programmed) at a distance of 20 to 40 kilometers, then fired three missiles air-air Mica, all in a minute – reflecting versatility of the aircraft.
In air to air fighting, the Rafale has “put the plate” to Typhoons from the Royal Air Force, provides the Lieutenant Colonel Grandclaudon. In degraded version, four against four, the Rafale has made scores of 4 to 0 and 3 to 1.
The French fighter aircraft also rubbed the F-22, the most modern fighter of the USAF. During a meeting, they have clashed six times, the F-22 does put a shot on goal.

Capitaine Romain finally copied the later on his blog, as it reflects what he knows.
I won’t ask you to trust Feeser since i doubt him too, but he put a translation of its own article on his blog. Feeser is a former Mirage F1 pilot. He claims (in the comments) that according to his sources, Rafale won the 5 other engagements against the F-22.
THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL ! It may not even deserve to be pasted here.
http://richard.feeser.over-blog.com/article-the-best–41382541.html
Latest aerial maneuvers in the United Arab Emirates (Air Tactical Leadership Course), combining in-ground air raid, or opponent in air combat air to air, many modern fighters like the French Rafale, the Typhoon and the Raptor British American led show the clear superiority of the Rafale in any field.
With excellent operational availability, patrols of four Rafale have been brought against the Typhoon of the RAF could not resist despite carrying an air-air weapons fictitiously degraded by Rafale ….
Taking advantage of its capabilities for detection and identification at long distance (40 km), the Rafale also pulled out of the game against the F22 Raptor, being more maneuvering.
Furthermore, during a mission air-ground, a Rafale could deal with six goals apart in record time by AASM (modular air-ground), while firing three air-to-air interceptors Mica on opponent.
Note that all drivers in attendance were highly skilled on the type of machine.
Do not doubt that this demonstration of air superiority will target multiple for the Rafale in the difficult trade negotiations for its export to Gulf countries, Brazil and elsewhere.
Do you actually know what he said, or you read report on his statement on some blog?
2 journalists, well known in France, publishing in great newspaper. Come on ! 😮
i just hate political agendas, especialy in this case, when a “seminly fair” competition have been held and when FAB and the industry want something else.
France knows this very well, since SKorea and Singapore. Don’t blame us for having learnt the lessons.
I totally understand your distemper.
My source tells me that not one of those journos (who included at least one French writer) batted an eyelid, and none questioned its validity.
Give your source, give the name of this guy, make us laugh !!!!
As usual… the french in your story is like “the spoon full of sugar makes the medecine go down”.
The fact remains that jackonicko often used the results of joust as a proof that the EF is better than the Rafale in AtoA.
Nic
The fact remains that the alleged superiority of Typhoon never had to be confirmed to be believed.
I thought you were a journalist. 😮
Then, you should know that “who” and “when” are as important as “what”
Oh, no need to tell him.
He perfectly know his job, he perfectly knows when we can trust a source, or not.
What I want to see is someone puts him money where his mouths are (signed and verified by legal, not-private, entities), like Eurofighter GmbH did.
If people wanted to play it fair, this comment, from Eurofighter PR departement, HAS STRICTLY NO VALUE (according to the usual standards applied against Rafale). DOT.
OTOH, neither AdlA nor Dassault endorsed his position and you’re welcome to produce documents which prove different.
It is very clear that you deny what makes you feel uncomfortable, since you prefer the words from a private commercial company to the words from our ARMEE DE L’AIR.
Sorry. Lt Colonel did not say all of this while interrogated by unscrupulous journalists at home, and this was not published in a magazine like “Air Fan” or “Air et Cosmos” (the magazines JackoLake really love).
Lt Colonel talked during a totally official press conference, organised by the AdA, on thursday morning,

POINT DE PRESSE
DU MINISTÈRE DE LA DÉFENSE
Le prochain point de presse hebdomadaire du ministère de la Défense se tiendra le jeudi 17 décembre 2009 à 11h00 en salle Koenig, 8 rue Saint-Dominique, Paris 7e.
Monsieur Laurent Teisseire, porte-parole du ministère, traitera des questions d’actualité.
Deux thèmes feront l’objet de présentations spécifiques :
– participation des Rafale à l’exercice Advanced Tactical Leadership Course (ATLC) au centre d’entraînement à la guerre aérienne d’Al Dhafra
(Émirats Arabes Unis) ;– le sas de Chypre au sein du dispositif de soutien psychologique, dans le cadre du retour des unités engagées en Afghanistan.
Where was your “objectivity” in producing this statement, since the link you posted is older then the date I send my request in the first place, so this was obviously known by the time I sent my mail??
I don’t know what you’re questionning here. I merely asked you if you had an idea of who he was.:rolleyes:
This appears to be a purposeful double standard.
Of course it is nice to have a name to quote, but that’s not possible and you have to decide yourself wether you just believe what is cleared to be released or if you are open to what others have to say.
😮
Sorry, Scorpion… I meant : 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮 😮
We have Benco, we have GrandClaudon in the name of AdA. We have Richard Feeser (former Mirage F1 pilot), and also Capitaine Romain. They may not be all trustworthy, but i’m sorry for you if you can’t make the difference between those who can talk publicly, and those who systematically quote anonymous people.
I don’t know which M2000 pilots you’re talking about, i don’t know who you are charging with that, but i really thought you had a perfect picture of the whole thing to see that…
For years, all the names we had have been discredited because they came from PR departement, whether they are from the AdA or Dassault.
We can find all the names we want, all the public sources, all the guys who have the balls to give their names, our AdA can put its credibility at stakes…. you still don’t trust them because finally, all the kind of source you wouldn’t have trusted if they were french are good since they are in the opposite side….
Oh ****, never mind, i give up. :rolleyes:
If, and I emphasize if, this is adding context to the exercise results claimed by the French, then it begs the question “Why are they so desperate to put a positive spin on the exercise?”.
Particularly if those in the know knew otherwise…
Particularly since it happened in front of the UAE pilots, who know it all, and thus consider that French are [i let you pick the words you want].
What about the Swiss ?
And particularly since FAB and Lula are accurately interested in the “best A2A aircraft ever” contest, right now.
Cola :
Given the claim that Rafale flew “Red team” too, we can only imagine how Rafale fared there and it wouldn’t surprise me if it got banged 0/8.
I’m not sure about what you’re implying. Are you serious ?
Do you know Marcus Messalla ?
He posted this on the Merchet’s blog :
The stories about the Rafale vs Typhoon are unjustified and unfair representations.
In the exercise sories Typhoons and Rafales worked together on the same team! There were red Ty/Raf combos and blue Ty/Raf combos.
On the CT (continuation training) sorties both Typhoon and Rafale squadrons were conducting work-up sorties for their junior pilots and yes- mistakes were made on both sides where results as quoted occured (both for and against Rafale) – to quote training results is unfair and as expected “very French”!!
Typhoon was always carrying more than Rafale, Typhoon always came into the fight above Rafale and Typhoon performance take off was always more stunning than Rafale – all as expected.

[…] for MoD/Gov.
And the whole Brazil…
in the past Dassault used to complain that politics played a part in its losing the South Korean tender to the F-15K, and now they’ll likely win only because a political choice is made, probably against the wishes of the FAB and Brazilian industry.
Yes.
What’s going on makes a lot of sense. The Rafale is excellent. Ok. But S.K. and Singapore demonstrated that even rich enough countries don’t care about the technical quality of the planes. It’s an all other story. Thus, this time, it’s all different.
Even if FAB and industrials don’t get their prefered, the FAB will have a more capable type, though it may fly less, and we don’t really know how different the ToT offers are.
The strategic partnership may me the best option for Brazil, after all.
to bad sombody else hired the politicians..
“hired” ?
I hope no one will reproach France for learning the lessons, sometimes.
I guess the pro-Gripen aren’t far from understanding the French point of view about S.Korea and Singapore.
Wait and see, Dassault still have all the chance to fail in price negociations. 😮
