F-22 is not for sale abroad. Rafale is.
It isn’t even for sale in the US anymore…
I think the Rafale could be considered a lemon – if you are going to consider its production and export figures for the last 20 years…
By that logic it’s less of a lemon than the F22. Nice try though.
So here is the order : Picard put some made up figures on his blog => Y-20 quote Picard blog => I prove that it is BS => Halloween said these figures can be found on defesanet but give no actual links => i cant find anything that supports Picard claims
I simply state the facts that Halloween always pretend to be mysterious when asked for evidence
You SAID that it’s BS, you didn’t prove anything.
What make you think i haven’t checked these numbers ?, there is nothing support his physics defying claims
Btw, this is not defense india forum, so putting up some acnonyms and pretending to be mystery is not enough, most Keypub members are smart enough to see right through that BS, so if you want people to believe your claims, you better back it up with evidences ( real one not made up figures)
Why are you asking Halloweene to provide figures to prove/disprove a quote from Y20-BACON quoting PICARDS’s blog that YOU claim are false?

1) in 1 vs 1 engagement (pretty rare) , it rather impractical to get firing solution by RWR
2) in many vs many engagement (when triangulation is possible) , there is nothing to stop these F-35 sharing data with each other, so only 1 aircraft need to transmit, so VLO is still extremely useful
Don’t get your panties into a knot I was talking about hotshot’s plan.

msphere is not french afaik.
But I am and I do think the F35 is a lemon.
Nic
i think the entire logic is flawed, the shooter should be as close as humanly possible to maximize Pk
Plus what good would it be to fly clean to minimize your RCS & at the same time be the one who uses his radar to detect the enemies?
Unless the RBE2 AA uses the same pixie dust as US radars.

The F-35 has internal bays, which would make for a better ride than being strapped to a pylon.
Or you get a two seat Rafale and seat him in the backseat. Which is probably a little bit more comfortable than in the internal bays.

What does ‘unfair’ have to do with war? You want it to be as unfair as possible, in your favour. It isn’t a game.
Who’s talking about restricting anything? All I’m disagreeing with is the label.
You want it unfair when you are a bully attacking others. When you fight in a war only to defend yourself you never have an overwhelming advantage unless the guy who attacked you is plain stupid.

& what’s the amount of US aid in pakistan?
Granted, weaponry supplied to so-called moderate opposition did make its way to ISIS and Al-Nusra but quite a lot of their kit is Chinese, e.g. the FN-6. How did they get hold of that hey?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN-6#Combat_history
I also saw a 37x240mm shell on an RT report.
Most of it actually came via other neighbouring Sunni regimes. You think someone actually needs to instruct Sunnis to kill Shias?
Bull. The US provided the talibans in afghanistan with their weapons, did they give them M16? Of course not they gave them Kalashnkiovs which are more reliable if not maintained properly, and for which they could find ammunition easily. They also provided them with Milan missiles & so on.
If you are suggesting the US is not financing because they don’t use only US weapons, you’re even dumber than I thought.
Nic
Iraq is probably US fault but Syria is already a mess before US came there…
Bullcrap. Who supported the “moderate opposition”, who trained & supplied ISIS in weapons?
Nic
Also, US administration rely heavily on Ru mediation for several reason. One being that they do not want to be dependant of Assad’s agenda. They don’t need it and are better without on the contrary to the Russians.
So how are you guys going with Khadafi out?
Nic
It concluded that detection was key,
Oh boy they had to study to discover that detection was key? Why didn’t they ask good old Manfred or Chuck? They could have told them and save them considerable effort.
Nic
Current reports are that the documents were actually leaked by a former French Naval Officer who was working for DCNS, so the information has been taken from France and not leaked from India.
Considering the volume of documentation leaked, is it even likely that a single guy is responsible?
