Very neat, Kamal! I love those special patches. They are significant markers in a pilot's career.
Congrats to your guys and to you for that faultless phrase ( not a sentence 'cause lacking a verb )!

Good evening my friend, Tay.

but what is the ETR 2/92 AQuitaine Refers to ? and btw i copied this phrase but i still can speak little french as i studied it

 

[Taygibay]

but what is the ETR 2/92 AQuitaine Refers to

LOL good in French but not so much English : what does … refer to ?
2/92 is escadrille/escadron or flight/squadron with a standard squadron comprising 2-3 flights.
Pilots are assigned by flight but their machines are at squadron level.
From tradition, Aquitaine being a region in France from Bordeaux N
to the Pyrénées S so the South West corner.
ETR stands for Escadron de Transformation Rafale i.e. Rafale transition / schooling Squadron.

Talk to you tomorrow, Tay.

@vostok @Barmaley can you translate anything please [/QUOTE]
Okay my russian isn't great so I will tell you the most important
Around 0:43 they are saying that an American ship called lagon came near the ships the russian Destroyer moskva greeted them by playing the russian anthem on the speakers which made the American change course.

Footage from joint EX "Bridge of Friendship" between the Egyptian and Russian Navy. Disappointing footage considering the potential.

So Egypt's first export customer of the TALIOS pod,no surprise here.

-
Egyptian Air Force becomes the first export customer of Talios next generation targeting pod

Air Recognition learned during the Paris Air Show 2015 currently held in Le Bourget that the Egyptian Air Force is the first export customer for Thales' new generation target pod: The Talios. Egypt signed a contract with France for 24 Rafale back in Februaryl this year. This information was shown on sign on display next to a Talios scale model on the Thales stand: "Procured by French Air Force and Navy, Egyptian Air Force".

Designed entirely around operational feedback from users, Talios is the latest addition to the Thales family. Talios is the first optronic pod to cover the entire critical decision chain from intelligence gathering to weapon delivery.


Capabilities range from deep strike with long-range missiles and bombs to air-to-air target identification and close air support, and include the rapidly emerging requirement of Non-Traditional Information, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (NTISR).

Perfectly adapted for air-to-ground missions, Thales' Talios pod is compatible with laser guided weapons, INS/GPS guided missiles and imagery-guided weapons. It can performs attacks in autonomous or cooperative mode, using integrated laser spot tracker and laser marker. Talos has also target recognition capability and is able to perform positive identification in complex environment and 3D localization. It is fitted with real-time data-link transmission.

Talios is fitted with the latest generation of high-resolution sensors and high-precision line-of-sight stabilization. Its wide-angle vision provides critical contextual information and makes the pod a key component of the pilot’s visual environment throughout the mission.

All functions will be standard for both French and international customers. With its open architecture, the Talios pod is conceived as a ‘plug & fight’ system for integration on all existing and future fighters.

Thales' Talios next generation targeting pod is currently under developement, first test phases will start by year-end.

@Taygibay

you was wrong @Taygibay

 

[Taygibay]

Not really bro! I did include it in my list :

Saudi Arabia ( after the Yemen affair returns of experience )
Qatar ( change of heart due to price of Sniper adaptation )
UAE or Malaysia, present users of Damocles
Egypt as a "secret" add-on to the Rafale contract.

Last, granted, but still in there!
Sadly for your guys in Saint-Dizier, the present batch at least, the first trials on Rafale
are not due for over a year :
Le Talios de Thales se rapproche de ses premiers vols - Défense ::: Le Journal de l'Aviation
Late 2016 at best! First experimentations will be held on a DGA M2000. Rafale integration will come in
2018 on F-3R standard.

Good evening gang, Tay.

we are not really in hurry , we gonna receive our F3R later than that anyway

 

[Taygibay]

… we gonna receive our F3R later than that anyway.

Just between us, I wouldn't be surprised if the F-3R came in a bit early.
I'm not sure if it will affect deliveries though.

GN my friend, Tay.
