Well they could easily add the link when meteor arrives; No need to put it online 10 years in advance? I dont know I just find it strange.

there are a french Meteor and a UK/rest of the world Meteor..

The french have a one way Mica link…(easier integration)

BUT that doesn’t reply to my question: what weapon currently use a two way link on those fighters?

OK, Under condition SAAB design refuel probe 😉

And have a female fighter? No way.

As long as dassault takes care of the looks :diablo:

Any updates, wilhelm? Life can get busy. If you do have a chance I know it would make me excited to see it. Always considered the F.1 the best Mirage design, although I’m sure others would find that comment heresy.

A former F1/2000 pilot told me it turned like a brick.

As a fighter bomber I think it definately rocked though. In iraqi hands it was pretty impressive against Iran.

I personally think your argument is BS.

I don’t see why EF and Gripen would come with a two way datalink since they won’t be able to use it until meteor is integrated for good. Even if it’s really the case, then it was pretty stupid to integrate it 5 years or so before the Meteor is operational.

Provided all this is true, it’s only a matter of improving the Rafale system with the ability do do that. If you remember well, the AESA was added to make use of Meteor, so the update could include the two way link through the RBE2 for all we know.

This argumentation about the Gripen being the only platform currently able to use the Meteor seem pretty desperate if you ask me. Everyone know that the french will use it as their primary BVR; missile and hence that it will be available for the Rafale.
