Just for the matter, the Mirage 2000 pictured on the second image of the first post is not a Mirage 2000-5 Mk2 but a french Mirage 2000-5F. First image (HAF..) is correct. No, RDY-3 and RC-400 are not the same radar. They use the same base components but the RC-400 is the one which as a...

It's really funny.. every time a F-15 is downed in operation, it's because of a mechanical failure.. Just like during Odyssey Dawn when a US F-15E has crashed. Curious.. ;)

:rofl:

I heard France will launch a series of nuclear strikes in Europe to annex it. It has been conquered by Napoleon after all, it belongs to us !! Come on Superboy, cut the crap.

What kind of local actions would you like them to do....? Eh.. not really.

Indeed, you are right. Are there any criterias to determine the class of a combat aircraft, or is it just arbitrary ?

^ certainly Superboy's double accounts votes.

Best light fighter is Mirage 2000. 8-) I don't know the listed aircraft performances too much to state on those.

To be precise, it's the ELT-558 jammer.

On the 2000-9EAD versus 2000I comparison, one of the great difference lies in the countermeasures avionics. The Emiratis have the IMEWS, while the 2000I have the newer ICMS (version 3 or 4 probably). Countermeasures probably include the SPIRALE system, with 112 EM chaffs cartridges and 16 IR/EO...

Offering much less capabilities than the Rafale with a similar payload. - less endurance (two small wing tanks versus 3 tanks with higher capacity for the Rafale - less weaponry, both air to air and air to ground (2 air to air missiles less, no match for MICA IR, and 2 250 kg guided bombs less).

Technology is indeed not the single success factor.. Experience and training are key points. Thanks, I surpassed myself :D

omg :laughcry:

France would arguably appear on that least, at worst equal as RN. All UK's assets highlighted in this article have equivalent or superior correspondance in French inventory (Horizon AA DDG & Le Triomphant SSB classes).

Yes, DDG-1000 is utter crap. USN is just a third world country navy anyways. Even this is better : Excellent ship, very good technology ! Look at the AN/SQS-258(v)2 IHS (Immerged Human Sonar) on the front starboard, best underwater sensor all around ! Even the FREMM or Arleigh Burke IIA...

When is that guy getting banned ? I read some of his other participations on this forum, nothing really interesting, pure troll stuff.

I didn't mean sounding rude to wiseone, rather to the article - I am sorry about that. I toned down my post. ;)

I believe it is the AN/APG-80.

A FREMM frigate was sold with the package.

The figures quoted above are totally off for MICA and AMRAAM. MICA range remains classified but tests have been made against targets at 70 km. It can also sustain a 50+ G load factor.
