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!
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.
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.
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?
