Another one same date. 😮

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.:)
They say the fire was caused by welding on the roof ( safety measures mandatory in such cases not respected -grossly i might say )…but you never know .:mad:
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:
Periscope, to improve front view for the instructor .:)
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 …:)
China does not use nor build any JF-17 for themselves atm ( and probably won’t at all) , so there are no second hand ones…
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 ?
Second MiG-29UPG took to the skies today (KB-3123):

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?
Nic
Certainly makes sense.:)
Regarding the Mirage 2000H upgrade …what radar is it going to have (range specified 70nm LD)? RDY-2? Also regarding the article stating it will be now carry FOUR BVR missiles, does that meen they will still carry them on the wings ( like the legacy Mirages) without introducing the 2000-5 style fuselage carriage?
Thanks.:)
not true.
check Grifo or AGP-66 or AGP-70.
Errr…those are not ESA designs.:confused:
The Elta’s Elta EL/M-2052 aesa radar is considered as one of the best AESA radar to be operational and yet is similar in size with the RBE or the F18’s AESA radar.
Operational ? On which aircraft is it operational ?:confused:
