The FI article does not change anything to what was written in AFM, BEFORE.
Both articles were unsigned.

And, did Jon Lake allowed you to quote his article without saying who is the author ?

You just modified the last sentence. That’s why i wrote this just after :

I’m an author too, and if i’m not paid, i appreciate when people give my name with my comics.

But if I only believed what I could read on the internet, I’d be stuffed!

LoL

If it did, there’d be no real pressure to replace RBE2….

Such pressure that the AESA will come before 2012 (as previously planned). :rolleyes:

AESA may be at the top of priority list, it will just be produced and delivered when it is scheduled since the begining.

Just a quick point to all the rafale fans out there. Honestly, I am much more likened towards the typhoon and would like to know how the rafale is superior to the typhoon in the a2g role/ strike role. I have heard of superior range and payload, but how does the aircraft handle when loaded out with this weapons set, as well as the “Care Free handelling” of the typhoon? I am making this point as I am yet to see ANY aircraft demonstate the raw power and agility when loaded with full air to ground/strike ordinance as the typhoon did at farnborough last year.

I suppose the root of the question is does the rafale still have its flight preformance close to the typhoon when loaded?, or does it significantly “drop off”, so to speak.

Sorry mate, it’s not the good topic.

Dear KKM57P, when will you :
1) answer my MP ?
2) realize that we’re in a Typhoon thread ?

Satorian ? Could you please quote one sentence proving that a French thought that the RBE-2 has similar performance to an AESA ? That was the glitter’s point.

Thanks for that Scorpion82, you are by far the best source of information on the Typhoon on this forum.:)

Sure. 🙂 I agree with you.

You and your ilk have not done the same to Typhoon.

Ok, let’s make it short :
================
Typhoon is a THE fighter/bomber.
Joust will prove 100% right.
Korean and Sing have rated Typhoon above Rafale.

Typhoon’s MMI are a fair generation ahead of Rafale.
Typhoon is more agile than Rafale due to its higher instability and long moment harm canards.
Typhoon is also much more agile in supersonic.
Typhoon’s radar is also much better.
Typhoon’s through life costs are lower.
Typhoon’s carefree handling caracteristics are much better, with any loadout…
====================
Are you happy now ? 🙂 Do you feel better ?

What about sharing data and news about this fighter without comparing it with its competitor each time ?

KKM57P,

Since you know better than Thales, then, please, let’s talk only about Typhoon here, please. 😉
