Does F-16E has high supersonic flight compared to F-16C?
Top speed of Su-35 is not faster than Su-27
Is F-16E fly higher than F-16C?
Su-35 doesnot flight higher than Su-27
what is internal fuel capacity increase for F-16E?
quite significant with CFTs
Su-35 has weopon distribution and loads flexibility which Su-27 simply cant
No , it isn’t
which fighter can increase flight range by 900km with just 2ET and at such location?. show practical examples.
F-16
no, MBDA fully realize it would take a re-design to make it work, i dont think its going to happen
re design is a grossly over statement TBH. Meteor would need a clipped fin to fit in F-35 AA station. Air to air missiles with clipped fin version are not really that rare, been done plenty of time before.Case in point, from Aim-120B to Aim-120C the fin size reduced quite significantly
no, moderate levels of rcs like F-22 & F-35 does not compare with a flying pancake void of protruding control surfaces
B-2 would likely get lower RCS at lower frequency and from side aspect. But from frontal aspect and medium/high frequency, it wont hold any advantages over F-22 or F-35. Btw, why don’t you give us the whole PDF files ?
Actually it does fit on AG station , the modification is so that it fit in AA station as well. Given that UK buy F-35 , MBDA would be dumb to ignore such big domestic market
MBDA seem to suggest that their SPEAR and clipped fin meteor will fit on F-35B too
Seem me this is a discussion with not much of any sense.
Original Gripen and F-35 were designed from completely opposite starting point in terms of requisites and ecquipment.
Swedish one was developed with a strict national defense perspective, limited range, NO AERIAL REFUEL.
What are you talking about ?
The range numbers for the Gripen NG seem pretty comparable with the ones for the good old Mirage 2000, 800 NM with two externals and four 250 kg bombs, and that M53P has a lousy SFC…
on Dassault-aviation official website it said that Mirage will reach 830 nm with 3 EFT and 6 MiCa

yes, i assume drop tanks and small load unless otherwise specified,
that goes for both L.M & SAAB and everyone else btw, its basic PR,
they do specify internal weapons so that limits the load to a maximum of 4 aam.
likewise unless otherwise specified there is no time on station, its back and forth, basic PR yet again.
if there was ever a new fighter where flight characteristics was known down to the last decimal, that would be gripen E
It clearly said F-35 combat radius is 760 nm for internal air to air configuration, i dont even know where you get the idea that F-35 carry drop tank from. Using that logic , should we also assume that Gripen NG 800 nm combat radius come from 4 External drop tank + 2 Comformal fuel tank + mid air refueling ?
