Oh yeah that is the best way to avoid war. You start doing that and you can’t really paint the Turks as the aggressors. Imagine what the world would have been like if NATO/USSR had taken that approach.
If they want it that bad Greece (and the whole EU) should oblige.

I have to agree with the statement above.
Take the Eurofighter add AESA radar and put it into a better airframe and you have a winner.
Well if you need a new airframe you might as well start everything over and benefit from the technology breakthroughs in avionics and sensors.
Greek pilots should shoot down any turkish fighter the very second it enters greek airspace.

And then offering the chance to USAF to collect and analyze the electronic signals of Rafale without any payback ???
Not very important since the RBE2 PESA will soon be replaced by the AESA.

I feel dumb 😮
That would explain it indeed.
Sneaky us :diablo:
The Aim-9M can only be used passively. It can also be queued from the EW system, but it has to lock on before launch.
AIM 9M should be fired well within range of the Rafale MAWS.
Also, why would a Rafale pilot turn its radar on and risk being detected by the AN/ALR-94, while it could use OSF (of which the F22 lacks an equvalent btw) completely passively instead? To me it makes no sense at all.
Nic
in which way is a blackhawk superior to a cougar?
If I was to fight F22s in a Rafale, the last thing I would do would be to turn my radar on :confused:
Nic
So why would an attacking aircraft be flying AWAY from the target BEFORE it’s dropped it’s payload? :rolleyes:
You just gave mission planning a whole new meaning.
Fly straight to the target and come back 😀

Or that F15 simulated a strike package while EF used Pirate and GCI to practise near silent intercepts.
Scorpion82 (I think) hinted at some point that kinematic rangeing could be available for pirate. It’s not so far fetched to think that at some point (if not yet) it’s going to be able to achieve a lock.

edit: sintra beat me to it
All this EF18G vs EF111 talk is useless
What the USN should do is get some F4G! :diablo:

Mirage F1 looks great with its gear down; especially coming from the front/above. Looks like a bird of prey coming to get you.

Don’t tell me the legal value of an email from the eurofighter Gmbh com guy sent to a private and insignificant entity, you (no offense), is higher than Dassault own CEO paper, in a published official media.
