Can’t twist allied arms?
I love argumented posts : “vastly superior”, “anything close” etc. Definitely vastly superior arguments to Ducth evaluators…
Scooter, your whole premisse is F35 will be FAR more capable, which is disputable (see Dutch study). Lets not go into flame war F35 vs Rafale ok? Especially as we dont know exactly what will be in indian Rafalesas compared to french ones. Anw these different capabilities must be considered within their environment. So called “vastly ” more capable aircraft in USN r USAF may simply not fit indian requirements. Eg, is F35 nuclear capable?
What the difference between Typhoon Tranche 3A and EF-2000 FGR4 ? electronics, sensors, weapons or radar?

You just can’t imagine how much this 20 years old technology wish to compete openly vs F35 in Canada…
yak did great at pas13, seriously undernoticed great performance.
i know, and i do not deny them, i simply would like to have raw datas, how they have been collected, computed etc. Professional deformation i guess 😉
I do not say this is wrong, but i would like to have the datas (and sources) Jane’s used. Hard to fully trust a study sponsored by one of the very objects of the study. At least without raw data and sources.
Obligatory, the study has since been deleted from Jane’s… If anyone can find me the whole study, i take it!!!
Their are limitations inherent to size. The more you add loads the more relatve drag u add.
And the famous Janes study was deleted since. Noon8e can review te he methods used.
But thode two (+ French) would rule with a aesa/meteor combo…
Jo, ppl on indian defense forum requested me to ask you to join as T50 expert.
Agree, btw such a display was proposed by engineers (P. Nurra) forT3. Not everyone agreed, including pilots becase it disturbs their “eye lane” they worked for years. (apart from cost issues)
My point is simply that too much standardization leads to dependence on the seller and lack of progress. No more. After all US invented the antitrust laws for some reason.
why cant i help thinking about former socialist countriesmodel when i hear some arguments here “compatibility vs uniformization?”
Different sizes , constraints and size. Lets hope the Malaysian gov is thinking in terms of capabilities deplyed.
