Rafale’s CFTs are smaller than the Typhoon’s.
Only 1150L.

But please do believe an AFM article with proven mistakes (e.g. No. of Laser warners). :rolleyes:

No problem, I wasn’t suggesting anything at all. I just noticed this figure was unusual, and i couldn’t choose a better link to say how strange i thought M1.1 was.

In addition, the good point is that Toan gave us all others sources. 😀

It wasn’t Red Flag.

Rafale did go there so as to train before Red Flag.

It seems that finally, the Rafale will do only air-to-air missions in Red Flag, though originally assigned to both A2A and A2G.

Did anyone hear about the Italian Typhoon vs Rafale M (in March 2007) ? A bit sensitive too ? 🙂

Rafale – Mach 1.2 with 4 missiles + tanks

=> Rafale – Mach 1.2 with 4 missiles + tank
With 2 tanks, it’s less, as far as i know.:cool:

I really doubt that HAF would refuse to consider those evolution.

On the other hand, tests can be done on AESA prototypes I think.

As far as I remember, the DRAMAA has been flown on the M2000 last year (first quarter of 2007).

Here is the link to the Thalès website.

Thales expects to move into integration testing on board the Rafale in the second quarter of 2007.
Series production start-up is scheduled for late 2010.

Since this document (23th april 2007), all i know is that our authorities are very satisfied with the demonstrations of this prototype.

The array should use more than 1000 modules, improve detection range by 50% (which implies a huge increase of the scan volume), and improve the angular coverage in azimuth (Fox Three n°11).

The problem of course is, where is France going to sell 45 greek Mirage + 63 (?) UAE Mirage…

The UAE’s Mirage interest Egypt, Pakistan and Jordania.
So, this would leave the 45 remaining M2000.
