What? F-35 is TRUE VLO and does not need jamming, escort nor stand-off weapons, they could drop a free fall bomb on top of Putin’s head at the Kremlin with impunity!
April the first? fanboyism to that deree is collector!
Meteor missile using host PESA passive radar i
huh? Sure about that? To me it is a mechanical radar, the sensor is a derivative of MICA missile sensor.
Wasn’t IDS supposed to do air superiority?
FCAS is a system of systems. Includes Rafale, Euromale, NGF, S/A missiles, next gen ammunitions etc.
FCAS-DP was a UCAV drone program between UK (dropped out) and France.
NGF (next fighter platform) well be led by DA.
Induction? What happens if you lost your electrical generator? Do they fall down?
Sometimes you get really tiring with your constant rantings about any french product. Ever bother thinking before posting such a silly comment?

The article haavarla refers to references the person leading the The NATO Military Committee.
My bad. Ty
Neither an excellence of design nor suspicious defect.
These rocets are real nice, connected by induction instead of hard wired. Extremely more simple to manipulate…
Shanahann isn’t related to NATO. So i’d take a pinch of salt before saying “NATO’s opinion”
For India (not the IAF), getting more independance in desiging and building weapons is a paramount due to being the first importer of weapons worldwide.
Did i ever say the EF is a poor plane( i may in the heat of discussion)? I just consider that Rafale is way more versatile.
Is it just me or S97 design is better?, more practical and what not
The design is a record breaker working prototype. Not the proposed one.
Please spare Rafale data for Rafale topic. 95+% availability was performed during lybian wars, of course this type of performance has consequences within a constraint budget on other planes. Geez what a discover?. Now (last time i compare here), one can compare the 48% availabilty (in US terms full availability i think) to the flat encephalogram look of the same data on F-35 fleet. (which is somehow normal at this stage of the program). But no chest bumping on F-35B availability considering the intensity of given missions please. Rafale were flying between 30 to 40 hours/week during Haramttan…
Problem is these taes are BS. when you go into comparison (appels to oranges). The real metrics is “doese it fulfill its operational contract”? How many missions cancelled? etc. Nvm. Cu on Rafale Thread.
That must be from the Fighter podcast.
Well for an Uber plane has less rate of climb than Su27 or F-15,not mentioning F-2000 the champ!
Please stop that. It is ridiculous. EFT has better cilmbing rate? Good. So what? It doesn’t change the fact that the climb rate of Rafale is very correct considering its all rounder conception doese it?
