No I am not a specialist in Radar, I am a specialist in complex systems. Normally I dialogue with specialists in different fields who participate in the realization of a complex system and I seek the best compromise and deduces the allocation of performance in each area.

India needs about 200-250 Rafales to maintain edge: Outgoing IAF chief Arup Raha http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-needs-about-200-250-rafales-to-maintain-edge-outgoing-iaf-chief-arup-raha-4448992/

In the French Air Force and Navy, there are 2 different availability rate : - DT (disponibilité technique/technical availability) is the availability rate with regard to the entire existing fleet. - DTO (disponibilité technique opérationelle/ operational technical availability) is the ratio...

So in your theory Dassault have made a lot of mistake resulting in the sale of 36 Rafale. We will see how the situation is evolving.:sarcastic:

There is no new contract. The MMRCA has been cancelled but will be implemented step by step. The reason it is not yet implemented is the following: Dassault to make its price needed the HAL price. But given the leaks in India nobody wanted to show its proposal to HAL in order to prevent it to...

No 100% build in India cannot be only screw driver tech, but the production of all sub system in India from raw material.

France was ready for full ToT for 126. If there is a 90 order in MII context it is likely that the first Rafale will be 30% build in India and the last will be 100% build in India as the next batch after 90.

Modifying the bidirectional radar link does not pose any feasibility problem. And this option is each time offered to our prospect including 5 clients Forces, including the IAF, without yet having been adopted to date. IAF would therefore be not competent because of its choice not to retain an...

PESA RBE2 is an excellent Radar: Dutch pilots, following the evaluation of the Rafale, had expressed admiration speaking of "solid tracks" produced by RBE2. It seems they were oscillations of velocity vectors of radar tracks from their F16. Within Thales, that remains the favorite anecdote to...

A lot of misinformations in this article. First it asks for clarity as if it was not the case :sarcastic:but there is thousand of pages in the contract giving all the details,and the question is does this has to be share with the media? The Dassault policy is that it is the costomer which can...

5th generation is a Lockheed marketing term. What is important is not stealth but survivability, and we (French and Dassault) think that Rafale is as survivable as F-35 will be when truly operational. In term of stealth alone Bruno Revelin Falcoz did say : Source...

We must not exaggerate the reproaches to Parrikar. 18 months were essential especially in relation to the need to establish a state commitment to state from scratch. The difficulties to federate the various Indian ministries have also made things worse. Meanwhile, Thales had time to refine how...

No I'm not suggesting things like . Naval pilot is too early, SFC pilot yes, but for basic pilotage. Special procedure will be developed by IAF with the help of French if needed.

We have some idea of the Indian Rafale configuration, what would be interesting is to know what will be included in thee other posts of the package...

You should know that some of Thales engineering teams are starting ... a fanatic recruitment (something like +25%; + 40%), so it is unlikely that in 36 months the final standard is usable ...

The plane has to be immune to EMC. All Mirage and Rafale are immune to EMC.

Does it have a A to A missile with 1900 km range?

JYLD MODI: The partnership between France and India moved at the pace of a man walking, he will now move at the speed of a Rafale
