Can you elaborate ?

Some wings are more or less “twisted” eg Rafale wings, MICA wingtips station look canted down, in fact they are in the wing axis (well that was explained to me by a DA engineer).

Russia and Norway already settled their dispute in regards to territorial waters.

There is nothing else to “make peace” over, Russia and Norway are not at war, nor will they be, and this Russian Navy group has nothing to do with Norway either, it is clearly aimed at the Syria situation.

Where it will not scare anyone.

Following calculated by subtracting all French AF orders from total produced. Is this accurate? What numbers do you guys have

1074 Mirage III
532 Mirage V
474 Mirage F.1
286 Mirage 2000
84 Rafale

Mystere family (india)? Falcons (not civilians)? you should ask directly to dassault PR dept, they are nice ppl.

I am puzzled by its ability to reconfigure the canards in flight. What could they do with that? Could these canards have been upgraded later with full control like on the 4.5 gens?

Btw indian vice MD is visiting french MD today in Paris.

Can you prove that no manufacturers have done this? Can you prove that the Gripen NG vs F-35 figures are apples to apples, i.e. same mission, retaining DTs. Of course not, yet you falsely assume the onus is on me to prove otherwise. Furthermore note altitudes (5,000-25,000ft), are these the same for Gripen NG figures because 5,000ft makes one hell of a difference.

He doese not need to prove anything. That manufacturers often attent to bump range using such method is YOUR assumption. Doesn’t work that way. And it would be silly btw. Real clients have access to those data…

F.1 was a great 3rd gen fighter who came out a little too late and was soon superceded by the new 4th gen fighters. Much like the Kfir

Well, loss of the “market of the century” to early F-16 somehow killed F-1. The proposed version received M53 engine and was scheduled to receive fly by wire. But european countries trusted Lockeed when they said F-16 avionics would be upgraded but not Dassault about fly by wire (said an old DA engineer). Second doom for F-1 was the give up of Super Mirage (more or less Mirage 4000) in favour of Mirage 2000 due to budget constraints by former PR Giscard d’Estaing.
