Buddy u have to look at the larger picture..... Rafale is the main strike fighter of French airforce, j10 B is just an alternative fighter........look at J20 it will be China's main strike fifth gen fighter, efforts and quality is maintained for strike fighters......same way goes for J20 its a perfectly mastered machine.....so the bigger picture is rafale is a ground attack bomber.....and J10 B is an air dominance fighter, hence they lived happily ever afterSo, if you can't speak for the J-10B, then what's your rationale for saying that the Rafale is "better" than it in this regard?
The J-10B operates an AESA radar as well.
The J-10B does have data fusion (most modern fighters do). A comparison between the systems of the two platforms is and will remain a mystery until classified information is released, the prospect of which is unlikely.
It is agreed upon, in a prior post, that the Rafale does carry more weapons than the J-10B. However, the importance thereof, and hence the impact thereof on the aircraft's value, is hugely dependent on the context in which it will be used. Granted, the Rafale does offer a larger weapons load if the mission is a strike-oriented one. In air-to-air scenarios, however, the discrepancy exerts a much smaller effect.
Regarding weapons, nothing authoritative can be said until we get a closer look at the J-10B's weapons loadout.
