Per defintion, Alpha is when you are still…in flight. Super maneuverability refers to post stall maneuvering, a domain where wings doesn’t provide any lift… hence where there is no Alpha

Revise, but nvm. Used to your knowless rantins. alpha is the difference between you velocity vector and your “noise pointing”. Being able to recover is irrelevant (what was just pointed slightly above when i reminded that a Rafale as measured at 120° alpha -20 Kts during FCStests)

The allusion about car industries is quite funny considering the difference in industry levels between USA andEU.

i do not know if SAAB or Rafale or whatever, but finnish market look much more open eyed than other recent ones.

5th generation fighters are a very big step forward comparing with legacy fighters, as big step as Me-262 was comparing it with piston fighters. I see it like this. Of course, i talk about real 5 th generation, a real VLO, not LO like SH, or EF.

And i take it for what it is : assessment without any argumentation.

I don’t follow Rafale developement process, so to be honest, i don’t know how accurate your depiction of Rafale is, but i don’t think that translate to the same level of expertise on F-35 or Su-57.
From the perspective of a third party, i can’t help but feeling suspicious of his claims because Dassaults can’t know the characteristics of F-35’s RAM or RAS, and it doesn’t make sense for F-35 to be only as stealthy as Rafale when looked up from below. In my opinion, that is as ridiculous as USA fanboy who say Su-57 equally stealthy as F-18SH. Logically, a stealth aircraft with strike as its main mission must be very stealthy when viewed from below. That is already consider the best case scenario that he isn’t a stolen valor

i didnot say rafale rcs was similar to f-35. And yes, my informations about F-35 and Su57are much less complete. His claims were just that these bumps are very unfavorable to stealthiness and “compare it to X-35”.

2018 Rafale demo “from inside” really interesting. Regularly way above 9g. Poor pilot fighting forces…

Classic J-turn. spectacular for airshows (honestly i love it). Extreme loss of energy.

Maybe because i know them? Have you ever seen me give wrong infos about Rafale? Of course i could (anyone can make mistakes), but generally speaking my assertinos about Rafale capabilities are right no? Being invited to Le Bourget or Farnborough have some advantages.

That’s the exact opposite of what Desert Storm statistics show as regards ground-based air defences. And modern aircraft can look-down and shoot-down with ease.

urban legend. Check.
