^^^ From the post above it seems EFT has a huge Ground munition.. hoping to see Sancho's comments.... he is having a tough time in BRF also with Viv S
That's the Storm Shadow / Scalp cruise missile!
Actually that's the link I posted there yesterday and these are only possible configs, but not integrated or tested yet. Moreover compare that to other fighters in MMRCA and you will see that EF is clearly inferior in A2G configs:
1. Rafale - 3 x cruise missiles, 2 x fuel tanks at max
2. F18SH - 2 x JSOW stand off missiles, 3 x fuel tanks at max
3. F16 - 2 x JSOW stand off missiles, 3 x fuel tanks (+ CFTs)
4. Gripen - 2 cruise missiles, 2 x fuel tanks at max
5. EF - 2 x cruise missiles, 1 x fuel tank at max
6. Mig 35 - ??? Fighter and weapons are not ready yet
If we want, we could even get this config ( 2 x cruise missiles, 3 x fuel tanks, 2 x CFTs):
Or, 3 x cruise missiles, 2 x fuel tanks, 2 x CFTs at max.
The only reason why the Super Hornet is still said to be the best strike fighter (which I say too), is higher variety of weapons that it offers.
The discussion with Viv btw started in this forum, because he was a member here before, but he is really too biased of the EF and don't see the reality and it is a good time pass, when this forum is not available.
i highly think CFT (conformal fuel tanks) and fuel tanks are same ????
HALLBERGMOOS, GERMANY (BNS): The 250th Eurofighter Typhoon IS038 was delivered to the Italian Air Force at Pratica di Mare air base, Italy.
The 250th aircraft will join 311 squadron as part of their current duties.
“This is one more important milestone for the Eurofighter Typhoon programme. The delivery of 250 aircraft ensures that the Typhoon has more aircraft in service than any other new generation multi-role fighter, showing just how effective the Eurofighter programme really is,” Eurofighter CEO Enzo Casolini said.
Eurofighter Typhoon programme is Europe’s largest military collaborative programme and delivers leading-edge technology, strengthening Europe’s aerospace industry in the global competition.
An IAF official told me last week that the Air Force chief likes to joke that the IAF could provide consulting service to other countries on how to pick an airplane. The chief also, apparently, says cocktail parties are not as much fun: a nod to this person, or a smile to another, could be construed as an endorsement of a certain plane.
Who is winning? The fervid Indian press seems to throw up a new favourite every week. A discussion with anyone in the aviation sector inevitably veers toward the MMRCA. Everyone has an opinion, everyone has a favourite, but nobody really knows.
