I think its 4500kg for the Rafale and 5000kg for the Eurofighter.
Since the Rafale is smaller (9200kg vs 11000kg) it has the better fuel fraction. I dont think however theres a noteworthy difference in range.

4500kg is the figure for Rafale B -two seater-

Sure, it’s a shame the EF is unable to carry the MICA, since it is a European weapon,

Mica is a French missile, for the Rafale (and later for the Mirage).
Rafale could bring american weapons, but there’s no interest in, since it has been developped with its weapons, with clear and coherent objectives in mind. 😉

:diablo: :diablo: Typhoon if/when the Tranch 3 is completed. :diablo: :diablo:

If it stops having instability troubles in transonic regime while flying a low profile mission… Maybe… :diablo:

Rafale B/C/M, all the time. :dev2:

Dudes, that’s just “the tip of the iceberg”. 😀

I hope it will show something really awesome next time, because this was just very slow.

Yeah yeah TMor, like you have a girlfriend……

Spotter!

😉

Ok, I admit, I left her a few days before… 🙁

7 rafale in one shot

Pretty shot ! 😀

I don’t know for the exact number, but the press tells that 16 other Rafale are to be delivered for the 1/7, until July. As they won’t be built in 3 months, it could be a hint.

This remembers me of the Mirage2k vs F-16/Tornados in 1999, with the introduction of Mica/RDY. Actually, the TWS is like a simple scanning mode to the oponents’ RWR. The RWR have no idea that they are being tracked, and just know that the aircraft is being scanned by another aircraft’s radar.

I don’t know if it has something to do with “constant power for all waveforms”… :rolleyes:
