Most of what you’re saying makes sense to me, but I can’t help but think that the G. W. Bush Administration (among other key players) behaved in a questionable manner before (and during) the 2003 invasion. AFAIK, there was some “informed” opposition / warnings from former US national security advisers and military officers, academics etc., not to mention some Allied intelligence services, raising concerns about the reliability of some of the intelligence (i.e. “Curveball”), the uncertainty surrounding potential consequences of a large-scale invasion and occupation and so on. I think it’s fair to ask how reliable the Administration’s decision-making cycle really was given the information they had access to at the time.

Include USSR administration during invasion of Afghanistan?

Already posted it on Rafale thread with youtube link. TYVM! (le croisement!!!!)

USMC F35Bs will regularly fly of the decks of the UK carriers:

Plus loads more in the article (although we are all waiting for SDSR for the meat ).

Ok decide what you want for SDSR, but PLEASE let us french cook the meat!

Having the ability to stay in control in a post-stall manuver vs being able to respond quickly without fighting the control logic that is trying to stabilize the aircraft are different. Yeah the aircraft can do it. But as report says pitch and yaw are being dampened by CLAW to the point that it is tactically useless. The control laws can be fixed, Just not sure that it is highest on the software priorities right now.

Rafale, before FCS limits, went upto 110° AOA About post stall recovery, noone know, including you.

The vertical transition is impressive (I didn’t put the sound on but I anticipate the pilot reaction). Yoyo up. Ok. Good. Roll is good also until it reaches the limiter at 150kt (release stick). What is a taut too high (270kph). *

But what is the point. If you’d show us a 2K doing so, it will be remarkable, but seriously, an F16 caught in the vertical while the Raf is beaming on it at 300kt?!

I don’t see the point. But the Beer sounds good.

*it shows that they still haven’t work that with bigger canard and slightly longer/wider fuselage (for ex).

Remember a M2K killed a F-22 in BFM during ATLC?
You are making e bad looking fanboy 😉

DDM NG is a drop-in replacement. They would need new software to get any new functionality for it and the plane body blocks its view of anything below the aircraft.

Hint : there is presently a Dassault pilot called “Marco”, nickname”Claudia” testing new systems at Bold Quest. Take a beer with him, he is a very nice guy.

Let’s start from a sensible position : What if IAF planners were excellent? enough bashing please.
