French Rafale Aircraft Spotted Over Cypriot Skies Amidst Turkish-Greek Dispute

[Oublious]

I am talking about the No escape zone (NEZ) . The NEZ of meteor is thrice compared to AMRAAM, means if you lock a target and when engage to hit , target will try to escape by maneuver, this escaping area is three of meteor is times larger than that of AMRAAM.

France....lol. last time they were anyone was under Napoleon and he was Italian.

Italy did not exist at that time.
Corsica belonged to Genoa until 1768, when it was sold to France due to an insurgency which they could not handle. France invaded and took control later that year.
Napoleon was born in 1769 and right afterwards, Corsica became a province of France.
Legally, Napoleon was always French.

It is a somewhat well known fact...derived partially from the missile utilizing a ramjet motor. Or at least...it is a main talking point from MBDA..

Here is another source, from Korea this time.

The most notable of Meteor's functions is its superior no-escape zone, or operation range, which is about three times larger than that of the U.S. AMRAAM, Alfano said.

With Meteor's expanded range, three combat jets equipped with the missiles could cover the entire length of the inter-Korean land border, which is more cost effective despite the higher per-unit price of the Meteor, according to the MBDA official.

A good starter to discuss this one can be found here btw.

I laughed at the fact you among many other Turkish members were telling Turkey will strike US-led coalition forces whether they leave northern Syria or not. At the end of the day Turkey only intervened due to US greenlight and due to Trump's decision to pull out its troops. Had Turkish troops attacked US-led forces,you would have ended like those Russian mercenaries at Khasham. It wasn't rocket science.



The Turks became agressive because they outnumbered the French frigate by 3v1. The Courbet was on its own against the Gökova,Gökçeada and Oruç Reis. Within an hour of the incident Rafales were sent to the area as well as MPAs and several French navy ships were dispatched in emergency from Toulon naval base + two other French navy ships who had just crossed the Suez canal were sent off Libya. An SSN was probably sailing through the area.... so indeed had anything happened to the Courbet,all your nice ships sailing in Libyan waters would have played with the seashells and fish under the sea...

"Yeah but France will never attack a fellow NATO member",that's what I heard several times on this forum. Turkey firing on another NATO member would be ok,but the said NATO member wouldn't strike back because "well Turkey is a NATO member". Nice logic.

Lmaoo still fuming how the Turks humiliated you frenchies so bad that you guys cried to nato.

What happened to french superoirity.

The French... really need to piss off from this Theater because im afraid if they continue on this path of escalation with us we will see TF-2000 destroyers sailing near their overseas territories in the future- if they really piss us off we might even annex some...

Yep, you cannot really get more official than that...at least as far as unclassified information is concerned.

From an article came to know that the NEZ ( no escape zone ) of meteor is nearly thrice the NEZ AMRAAM and a range of 120 km . So to match the Rafael have you developed any superior AA missile?

He was ethnically Italian.

What do You know of his ancestry?
Corsica has been invaded so many times by many different people.
DNA studies shows that there is a distinct possibility that Napoleon was a Jew.

His family originated from Tuscan and Geno before settling on Corsica. Guess I know more than you about his ancestry.
