Which sensors are they?
The blue circle is from Stormbreaker (seems hardpoint)

Rafale seems to have too many sensors!!

 

[Bossman]

More surprises to come

I will not be surprised, if we hear about F16s.

Above is light (refuelling one I think, or could be the formation one).

Below is the new IR MAWS sensor

Mubarak to the whole nation.
We have waited a long time for this. Can somebody kindly share what changes were expected and what changes have been made.

Fair question - also - there are only 6 nose wheels starting from 3P10 - where the previous picture shows 7 JF17 nose wheels including 3P10 ...

The flags on the nose + canopy would be hard to fake though. So maybe the pictures were taken at different times of the day?

Lets see.

Time to upgrade my photo album.

The glass is also covered in the Chinese flag.

Maybe Block-3s have been produced in both China and Pakistan at the same time for the PAF.

All these systems on Rafale are integrated into a single system call SPECTRA. According to Wiki, The full SPECTRA integrated electronic warfare suite provides long-range detection, identification and accurate localisation of infrared homing, radio frequency and laser threats. The system incorporates radar warning, laser warning and Missile Approach Warning for threat detection plus a phased array radar jammer and a decoy dispenser for threat countering.[1] It also includes a dedicated management unit for data fusion and reaction decision۔

Let's see if there is any difference between the first Prototype and the Production variant.
