this video depicts rafale did manage to make a kill against f22 in a dog fight only .How can someone post a video about bvr warfare ,use your commonsense
Bvr warfare has been proven against planes whose pilots barely knew how to do evasive manuveurs,
planes having no proper functioning RWR & electronic warfare suite .
So dont think BVR warfare would only be fought by 5th gen fighters only , with future stealth fighters coming the future aerial warfare would be fought more in WVR warfare than bvr warfare as Kill probabilty would decrease even further at bvr range warfare.
SO dog fight would still live.
CHEERS
In a dogfight, a 5 years old kid can gunshot a fully armed special force warrior.
In a BVR fight, who find the enemy first, who will fire first. Whatever a maneuverer you are, you can not be better than a rocket engined missile.
When a (or two?) BVR missile coming, it's too late.
Rafale is a not so bad 4th gen aircraft only before the age of AESA. It's small physical size radar disk is handicapped leg, permantently. And there has no way to change it, it is fixed.
Rafale poor radar size make it no chance to get close to J-10B, F-22.
