Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

The Bomb is a standard US one.
The booster : I don't know the life span.
The seeker and actuators are free of maintenance.

And I only think a small quantity is or will be delivered. Just a stop gap measure.

Hammer is not as bad as Meteor. Meteor has a short shelf life.

 

[BON PLAN]

Makes no sense, the weapon used in 1999 was laser guided not TV guided so image tracking is irrelevant.

Sorry, but the laser deignator uses image traking : it compares image after image not to be lost.

So you know the Meteor life span.
Nice !
What is it please?

Hopefully Indian planners will not repeat the mistake of Mirage 2000 ....the only fighter which has proved its worth in all imp. IAF missions since their arrivals ....India should buy rafales in good numbers to counter both eastern and western fronts

If it is Ambala, will it overfly over Pakistan?? That would be funny actually.

a Single rafale can Carry upto 10 Meteors

LoL

It can carry but cannot fire them until 2024.

May be Indians will use Meteors and Scalps as dumb bombs.

No laser tracking has nothing to do with image, it either rides the laser all the way to its target 'beam rider' or it simply tracks the reflected light.

Much...Much...Much...shorter than the Rafale, even shorter for the second hand meteors IAF purchased.

Not flying over Pak!

Thanks friend. That's why one of A330MRTT has landed at Al Dhafra almost an hour ago yet other one is on the way to Mumbai.

I would guess they regulate type & quantity of food eaten before flight. Ofcourse peeing is straight to pampers I guess
