Indeed. Fixed plate and +/- 70° viewIndian Rafale equipped with RBE-2 AESA Radar.
Does this Radar have "FixedPlate AESA " or "SwashPlate AESA"??
I heard, It has FixedPlate AESA with +/- 70 degree azimuth
Is that True?
Anyone? @BON PLAN
Politically I think it is necessary to wait the delivery in India, and some months of trials. A new batch ordered in early 2021 is the best possible I'm afraid.Wow
We need to order the next batch now not bothered whether it's 20 or 36 or 44 just get the next batch ordered now
I don't care. If it was up to me 128+ of these beautés would have been ordered right away with local manufacturing. But, alas.Indeed. Fixed plate and +/- 70° view
A next iteration (F5 ?) will see the addition of two side antennae to increase the cover to +/- 160°

For me the Rafale is the best 4th generation fighters in the world
Typhoon and f15 silent eagle and f18 superhornets are.good but the Rafale has the edge in 'ew suites and india have added the dash 5 elbit hms too
F15EX will have the Rafale for breakfeast.... lets not get ahead of yourself and this the "new raptor of the east"..
No proof
Just a blank statement
What basis THE F15 is nearly 40 year old airframe with a huge RCS
The f15 and f16 are being phased out as not top line fighters
