without advance trainer they are going to put a lot more hrs on Rafale.

In fact an advanced trainer is top priority atm.

I want to stick to facts and avoid if possible politic issues on an aircraft forum 😎

Most sensible sentence i read on this very topic is that Syrians should be able to choose their own future.

Afaik jackjack is australian. But i could have missed smthing. Back to topic : according to “Bild”, Saudi Arabia to deliver Mistral missiles to rebels (however you call them)

@Bring there is presently at a MBDA a hypersonic prototype enduring aerodynamics tests

An F-16 was airborne for 13.5 hours during the Libyan campaign. Details at the link. Not all aircraft can do this sort of thing as many will run out of lubrication.

Nice achievement. Also for that Rafale mission. 21 bombs shot from 4 planes (including 12 shots within less a minute), no miss.

Different roles, different aircraft. And where’s the shortage of pallet deliverers? The UK has several Tristars, & is replacing them & the remaining VC-10s with 14 A330s, which can carry a lot more pallets than a 767. France intends to get a dozen of the same. And when you need a bit more, civil charters are easy.

Proper military transports are for delivering loads an airliner can’t carry, to places an airliner can’t go. Both the C-17 & A400M can do that.

Agree on useless comparison.

What do use parachute regiment? C130J?

British are said to also. Just that it can possiblybe opened to other partners if they makean effort, dassault make an effort and bae make an effort…
