So you came to conclusion that only 1 can be carried . That to from different angle pics of a single jet , on a single day . OK , so by that pic one should also conclude that Eurofighter can't carry a single AMRAAM in A2G config. And all other pictures taken worldwide by photographers in...

Oh common - Stop your dream speculation . Here is official press release from Horse's mouth I have highlighted in red box Source - Eurofighter:  News Detail Pic is from official eurofighter's magazine .

What is this single ship capability , can't Rafale geolocate targets alone by itself

Quite true - Libyan air-space and ground air-defence system are true test of capabilities . Perhaps better if we compare air power and ADS of china+pakistan wrt Libya . A fully loaded bomb truck dogfighting its way between co-ordinated ADS/AEW/AWACS/F16/J10 , yes then perhaps . All of us will...

Naah ....... . It was not my eyesight but just an unbiased view of looking things . Tell me did you really missed it or you knew but still went on praising rafale . The pic you are talking about - about full load , probably this Reason could be - Apart from trials,airshows if you talk in...

great find smpratik . We meet again . Been missing your news breaking blog

And i happen to see a big AMRAAM missile in left inner most top rack just besides 2nd PAVEWAY (behind litening pod ) Is my eyesight better or i am unbiased towards rafale , That i can see such big missile . And some posters have claimed - Eurofighter in A2G mission is even behind Mirage ...

Rafale dosen't have HMDS in operation .

SPECTRA is highly overrated . When it comes to core ACM , rafale can neither outclimb nor outrun PLA's flankers . Similarly it cannot out-maneuver flanker . If air-force wants to place MRCA on Eastern border , better get a aircraft that has power and agility to match mighty flankers . And...

Reporting on defence matters touching new low each day . PARS was never meant for Army , infact it was Indian Navy that showed interest in PARS to integrate them to KA31 fleet . I remember 8-10 months back either on Col Shukla's blog / Prasoon's blog it was posted as news item. And...

:what: . Can't comprehend your point ???????

Dont have much time to post in detail , My duty call at 1400 hrs. In short - US components of Rafale - Airco industries Cockpit leading edge navigation pannel Avtron Manufacturing Electrical ,Electronic , Hydraulic & Fuel component Test Equipment . Magnolia Plastics, Inc...

Rubbish , Rafale has .................US parts . Search for it , infact this very forum 14 months back ; I only posted the details . If you still don't get it , i will post it again

Yes , but even if Rafale wins . I wont be going in complete shock :P . Whatever end result is - IAF will get a jet that will be unmatched in performance in this continent . Perhaps only if we are planning to bomb South Korea F15SE can give us some hard nuts .

So the options now are ??????????? If anything this is a slap on the bureaucratic hassles of MOD . Almost each and every major gun maker is either blacklisted , or has opted out . Ultimately Indian Army is going to suffer because of moral practice of Congress and MOD (anti-bofors) . Hope day...

So Finally curtains coming down . Highly surprised that Gripen failed to make to the list . Rafale looks like having upper hand at this moment . I guess strong lobbying by Sancho on this forum helped its chances . Since I am stern critic of Rafale , i will now shift my support to Eurofighter .

Thanks for the pics , esp second one .

^ . With decent salary in armed forces . Plus advantage we get thru DSOP , why would one endanger his ACR / Job . Certainly not OLQ . I still doubt Officer concerned was at fault , that to for mere 20000Rs .

High time - We blacklist Dassault . On one hand arm-twisting IAF for Mirage deal , while with other hand Giving bribes and setting up an air-force officer .

Don't get your point. You raised questions regarding Raytheon not having capability to give Geolocation capability in ALR69A platform , while BAE has done same in Block 60 When Rafale itself needs additional sensors and antennas apart from RWR for geolocation , so does AN/ALR69-A . As the...
