Defense aerospace is practically the French equivalent of Sputnik.

(i) they are not french only (ii) they are citing a korean journo. Check before bash? (iii) shooting at messenger instead of reading message…

However, exact ref is missing (2014 cited). Old stuff, did not see

Hallow: it was a joke. I am having some fun with your (now) legendary arrogance (But you should know That).

Hats off. Hearing lessons about arrognace right from your mouth is always an unetterable pleasure.

The ‘large nose on this mirage is a rafale nose.

Probably not 60 planes. UAE acquired a first patch of M2000 than modernized them in 2000-9 whiel acquiring new 2000-9. The latter may be the only ones modernized i guess.

I doubt you could find anyone in the UK that thinks of France as an enemy.

? Do you include Ukip supporters ? 😎

Anyway, you don’t want to build a 5th generation fighter because other than the lack of stealth the Rafale does everything else to earn that title.

WILL BE with F4 comm suite.

The F-35As out of Hill have engaged F-15Es from Mountain AFB in the past. It was part of the capstone prior to declaring IOC and likely later as well. The USAF and USN have hundreds of AESA equipped fighters that are not F-35As. I’m pretty sure the capability against all of them is pretty well understood with opportunities over the last year to put the aircraft against some of them like the capstone demonstration the ACC put together.

I’m ok wih that. What i don”y but is 24-1 applies ro everything
