Just a couple of newbie questions, if i may.

So the Tyhoon is offered with the swashplate Captore-E , IRST , Meteors, etc , is that correct ? What WVR missile is offered , is it IRIS-T or ASRAAM?

Rafale is offered with RBE-2AA ( fixed array , if i’m correct) ? Is it offered with upgraded engines? Is it offered with Meteors aswell ? What WVR missile , Mica- IR ( well sort of WVR) ?

Getting back to Typhoon , does anyone know which are the US items on it, that might in theory be subject to US opposing the sale ( or sale of spare parts etc .)?

Thanks alot.:)

Anyone hurt ?:confused:

It says April 21st on this photo, but i also read that today 51 made some ( aparently ) rehearsal flights for MAKS (?), and also aparently SSJ flew today too, so maybe the photographer mixed up the months ? :confused:

Aaaah, nice! So the rumour on Aviaforum yesterday was true …hmm, looks like they put the ECM and IFR on it , but not the bigger spine …:)

That article says the chinese will give those aircraft in weeks …gee what are they smoking, those Thunders just don’t grow in trees are they …surely we are talking of couple of years here at the least , isn’t it ?

Probably a journalistic blunder. It will probably be able to carry 6 missiles as all -dash5 mirages. Maybe they count only the 4 Mica EM as BVR missiles, despite the 2 Mica IR being BVR missiles too?

Certainly makes sense.:)

not true.

check Grifo or AGP-66 or AGP-70.

Errr…those are not ESA designs.:confused:
