Is this nickname inspired by mine ? 😀

Sorry, i’m still alive.

they all claim the same thing which is something rare for a military programme.

Except in DSI (n°15).:D

He claimed Rafale fighters are the best next generation planes and it would bag the deal if the competition is fair.

Not even funny.

Appears Nervous to me saying we expect a fair competition a few times.

I agree with you on this part of your message.

Typhoon or Rafale, take your pick. one of them is a waste of time, the other essential for Europe 😉

The olde western continente doesn’t need two twin-engined multirole fighters.

Sure, one of them is good enough for all Europe while not having needed a single penny of R&D to the four partners…:rolleyes:

Keep your ***** comments off, please.

From Tmor on another board about how works Spectra :

The quote from the book was provided by Kovy, on yet another forum.:D

It just had to be counter-balanced with what the French reported :
-“the AASM impressed” (which means that the AASM did work well, but the american colonel doesn’t understand the word “stand off”);
-no Rafale were shot down (the colonel failed to get rid of the Sukhoi quick enough so as to shoot the Rafales down before they shoot the AASM).

:diablo:

Now, think about those Rafale flying without the AASM under their wings, far behind the Sukhois (as escort fighters, were to protect the Rafale), and never flying over the targets (75km max range for the AASM). What would you think of this ?

I agree, i finally think this sentence was ironical.

On the other hand Typhoons got their ass whipped by F-16s, F-15s and F-18 regularly. :diablo:

This would explain the diablo. The “on the other hand” could also mean “contrary to Rafale…”

a mental issue when it comes to Rafale to Eurofighter

Perhaps. 😀

But the Rafale has nothing to do with this thread. :rolleyes:
