    No Mirage III? They fought well in hand of the israeli and even few aces were made from this aircraft.

    In the end, I would wonder if the F-35 is better than the F/A-18E/F?

    What about M-346 against its older brother, MB-339CD?

    Hey, they didn’t nickname the A-7 the “SLUF” for nothing.

    SLUF – short little ugly…

    Short little ugly fella, to make it clear. Don’t blank the F word there… 😀

    Since Mirage 2000D. It use a sensor intergrated to the body of the aircraft.

    The best location is at the tip of the radome since it will give data without any disturbance. But, due to few factors which I read few years back and already forgot (anyone can explain?), they want to put at another part of the aircraft.

    It’s called pitot tube my friend. All aircrafts have it. If not at the tip of the radome, you’ll find at other part of the aircraft.

    I wonder what kind of a/c did they used? Last time I heard only the single-engined piston a/cs were involved.

    UAE current f-16, is touted as the most advanced F-16. Then, the F-16IN is again touted as the most advanced.

    Fighter speed is an issue. Read about MIG-31. if it is not an issue they may well use B-737 for launching AAMs. I am sure big AESA radar of AWACS will help to get favourable position. Mach 0.8 is not bad.

    Faster fighter will get to the intended fighter zone earlier and this is critical for an interceptor.
