LOL @ the above, what a piece of crap! A- Serge Dassault has left the company in 2000. B-There was then Charles Edelstenne and the present boss is Eric Trappier. C-Serge Dassault remains on the Administration board since major share owners but so do his wife Nicole & son Olivier ( the real...

Air & Cosmos reports on the AESA use. Not all informations ( such as range ) correlate with other sources but since it's penned by Guillaume Steuer, it should be mostly accurate. Interesting read overall with value for the Indians to extrapolate possible IAF tactics from. French Air Force enters...

OK guys 'n gals, I'll preemptively admit that I did not read the whole 17 pages as there is simply no reason IMHoO. 3 remarks the only serious one being this : From that article : "A top defence ministry official said the price of a fighter jet made by Dassault could now cost $120 million...

Hey Haider, glad to hear from you. I've been here since the end of 2010 actually. I read you a couple times but did not interrupt live threads. As for the free style arena, I'm now a mod, believe it or not. Takes the edge off having to listen to the childish impolite rants, you know? Talk to...

??? France hasn't used a Mirage III for 2 decades this year so that I suppose you meant as far as repairing **** ones? But that's OK! It's like an adopted child. No matter what his/her race, culture or nationality of origin, his/her identity and essence becomes that of those that provide, care...

Requiescat In Pacem! A useful and honorable job equals an honorable death! Salute and respect.

Old if valid stuff, Halloweene! Rut was one of the 2 Solo Display pilots at the Dubai Airshow 2009 that was held concurrent to a given ATLC exercise ... if you see what I mean? So only logical that he'd know about some specific results? :D Tay. Definitive Lapse of Reason | Independent news...

@RAMPAGE Ok, block 3 might be worth a discussion later when it comes but in all truth, your sentence that I quoted said : " 50 Block 2 ... they will be a match for Rafales ..." No mention of block 3 there which prompted my answer to you. As for the Chinese AESA, the one from the J-10B ( Note to...

"50 JF-17 BLK 2 to be produced ( Production and induction will be completed in 2016 ) and they will be a match for the RAFALEs if PAF decides to include the chinese AESA which is a rough equivalent of AN/APG-77 ." Really Rampage??? You really think that? I mean, I am all for national pride and...

@Manticore, Thank you very much for the prompt answer! :D Radio equip and not ice cream making machine as I had first thought ;) I had completely forgotten about this arrangement for the guns; it has been a while since these were used in France. Good day all, Tay.

Not news but the latest argument around the MMRCA asking for it to be signed ASAP : DASSAULT RAFALE DEAL MUSTN’T BE DELAYED - Journey Line Newspaper Good day all, Tay.

Nomi, could you give an explanation of that payload in the back seat, please? Or a link to the full description of it? Thanks in advance, Tay.

Hello Ra'ad. I can partially answer you. Block 2 is an evolution which is somewhat different from an upgrade. An evolution is a new way of making the plane with new components or capabilities whereas an upgrade is done on existing planes. The same more or less goes for the J-10. As far as the...

OK Sancho, once again I will have to end this discussion with you as logic has gone down the drain. You resort to name calling and disrespecting my reasoning abilities but are happy that I acknowledge your being right on a given point? Sorry kid but that is downright stupid. If I am a distracted...

About Dassault 's share of Thales, it is less than 30%. But EADS share of Dassault is 46% TCI hedge fund ups pressure on EADS over Dassault Aviation stake - FT.com Are you thus implying that EADS which ownsCassidian or Typhoon if you prefer is partly responsible for Dassault stance? Because if...

For those interested in reality, the Rafale's pinpoint strike configuration allows for 3 GBU-24. As for the lone Exocet central point config, it is consequence of the fact that on a carrier, one would not want to attempt to land with a dissymetric load after having left with two underwings...
