No. It was inked in the first batch purchase. As Israeli glide bombs (Hammer is "only" a complement). It's true (for wings). But if it was impossible to fit the elevator, Dassault will never have spent money for tests. So or there is space, or the leevators will be enlarged, or Dassault found...

F35 is everywhere and... flawed. https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2022/12/06/raafs-f-35-is-flawed-not-meeting-australias-defense-needs/ in Australia, with the euphoria of acquiring the first fighters long gone and their history with the RAAF, operational problems are already emerging. The...

I hope to see a 2 Exocet config open soon.

Chinese products are low quality ones. You can see evidence based proof on Ali express, Amazon, and on all the open air market of the world. About US products, I only found F35 as overhyped. F16, F15 were and remain marvellous planes. F22 was and is THE best air superiority aircraft of the...

Give me a "evidence based proof" (as said by @Cookie Monster ) of that. a LPI is not a NPI (No probably of Interception .... ) LPI is mainly used to avoid to be jammed. But as it is an emission, in a known wave band lengh, it can be intercept (but less easily jammed) Agree. And stealth is...

There is no evidence based proof here. If it was the case you go to jail immediatly for spying. Try to persuade who you want that a bird made by a country of farmers forty years ago is best than those study and built by specialists. The chinese weapons are not best than the russian ones, and we...

The problem is not to try to do various things, the problem is that LM want to developp a multi mission plane in a single standard, the first one ! Look at F15, F16, Rafale, EF2000 : first a air to air std was studied. Then air to ground. Then air to ships, recce, etc.... A small steps...

F-35 struggle even on ground... This is a F35 with less than 1500 hours of flight. A hangar Queen

Just a question of time to have the answer. Logistically to have a so small fleet of SH18, when IAF already have all the spare parts, test bench, training,... for Rafale, will be a nightmare. And Indian Navy knows that very well.

The helmet is non perfectly operationnal. It was said just 2 or 3 years ago that the data fusion was not running. How are the over heat problems? All the goodies seemed very well on paper (the speciality of LM : showing powerpoint. They won with 2% margin in Netherlands against a real...

Yes. And the argument saying that the 2015 tested F35 wasn't with the last FBW refinement is false : during the fine tune phase of a fighter, the aerodynamic characteristics are freezed from the beginning. First preserial F35 flew in 2006. It don't take 9 years to end the aero flight...

Rafale Jets For Indian Navy! Why France Should Be Confident Of Winning Another Fighter Deal From Modi Govt. https://eurasiantimes.com/dassault-rafale-m-for-indian-navy-modi-meets-macronwhy-france/

The main, and probably sole, asset of F35 is stealth. But Stealth will vanished. Multistatic radar on grond or airborne (included in a late Rafale F4 upgrade or, at worst, in F5), low band radars (see how the chinese destroyer are fitted with) and IR more and more potent seekers (F35 is a hot...

I'm a mechanical engineer, had work in Dassault Aviation, is aware of what a weapon system is. And you, apart to be a pak blind supporter ?

some news about Indian Rafale offsets :

The sole real thing is that there is a sole inked deal : the FDI one. And as there was a fierce competition, you can be sure than these frigates will be well armed.

F35 is so late now. Despite huge dollars expenses the weapon system software stall because too huge, made by too many programming teams, and not evolved step by step. When they solved one problem, another one is creating... it's end less. How many fighters can supercruise? EF2000 can...

Never officially admitted. The so called free fly over Damscus is a fake news.

Where an excuse? F35 is not ready to war. It is high rank generals that said that some month ago....
