I'm not a Typhoon ennemy Sancho, you know me better than that. Missing a film on italian storm shadow release. Liked the photo?

Hey Sancho. I talked to CEMAA Denis Mercier this summer. a "Fiche d'Expression de Besoin" (technical definition) is being finalized for a smaller weapon than AASM 250. And there is atm a "crash program" for a smaller weapon (or less lethal) running atm due to Irak events. So both AdA and i agree...

i may answer you that 1) you get flexibility for SCAR mission 2) An AASM kit has a far longer lifetime than a GBU one. EF didn't show anything with Brimstone, they just mounted the kit on a plane. Didn't even fly. And a Brimstone 2 costs half the price of an AASM. In the end, the operational...

Condolences. I just can't find another word.

That one my friend MBDA Tests ‘Scalable Warhead’ Technology | Defense Update:

GaAS CaptorE IOC is scheduled for 2021. Far from smart skin... About low collateral damage weapon, personnaly i'd go for the german system allowing to program the amount of detonating explosive in order to keep versatility. But i'm not CEMAA ;)

As i told earlier, a HMS IS being fully integated. Did you read carefully the article linked above about french CEMAA confident? There are VERY interesting data about post 2020 evolutions (smart skin awaited in 2020-2025, aswell as High speed radar datalink etc.)

Sancho, co-developments are part of the contract and can't be offered before it is signed imho.

Talios is plug and play pod that can be used by mirages for example. Simply because it covers entire decision chain (some of them not really useful on Rafale which already have video datalinks). It also has some nice features like detection of ground moving targets... Also air to air...

First of all, according to Scorpion (and noone can qualify him of a typhoon basher), will ewist in export and domestic versions (+ later UK version). IOC scheduled in 2021. Brimstone is definitely a nice weapon, but rather expensive in its latest iterations. Atm AdA is leading a "crash program"...

Just for info, 3 Rafales are flying tests with F3-R software atm

You are right. My bad. Originally i only intended to say something about humility. You can be as well overtrained as Denzel was (HAHO HALO para, sniper, FAC, former world champion of Muay Thai), still a djihadist wearing sandals bullet can kill you. The idea behind is "respect the ennemy" Sorry...

Fairly sure he'll rest in peace, not only beacause a warrior, but because of being a warrior AND a kind, sweet man. Thanks god he had no children.

It is not only about discretion, it is also humility vs opponents. 3 weeks ago a firend of mine died in Mali. You can find his CV in this article (just use google translate) le portail des passionnés de l'aviation: Hommage à un héros de l'Armée de l'Air . He was humble despite his CV, but was...

nope about Talios IRST mode, Thales is a very secrecive company. But heard it from hose mouth. For the HMS my bet would go for Thales ex visionix Scorpion. Again no clue.

Smthing i'd like to say, because i know a bit this stuff.... First SFs learn humility...

i have no clue, sorry for indian Rafales. As Talios pod has Air to Air IRST functions, i am not sure it will be produced for France. . you sure? We do not know duty cycle of each radar btw.

Some points i'd like to clarify about latest posts. 1- IRST on Rafale is a kit you mount or not, like a bomb for example. 2- About Range, Rafale has inherently a longer range than Typhoon (less fuel consumption, bigger fuel fraction). Why do you think Typhoon need a fuel tank for its demo? 3-...

Some good news, "off" information : industrialization process is on track. DA is recruiting people for indian/french coordination...

this ppt (in french) is interesting about passive radars... Dropbox - 20130227_NP Presentation_Radar_Passifs EOAA 2013_avec points en suspend_light.ppt
