pretty sure well above 300km
rafale isn't a stealth aircraft
the problem, however, is rafale threat of meteor AAM IMO

we follow a different ideology then india
where indians count each machine and its ranges
we go in a group with each asset complementing other
we can this was out range out maneuver and outclass anything india has.
including raphal

PROOFS??? I WANT PROOFS NOT JUST YOUR WORDINGS,FROM PAF OR FROM SAAB

No need to be rude. People post various pieces of information on this forum from their sources. No one is forcing anyone to accept said information without additional corroboration.

You can politely say, 'thanks for the information, I'll wait for additional corroboration'.

Those of you who post information from personal sources, if someone does not want to take your word for something, just move along and, if you feel like it, quote your own post when the information does get confirmed to make a point.

Most importantly, be polite and civil during these exchanges.

The F-104 (Starfighter) - my dads favorite.

I guess back in those days, it made sense.

Mine too. Got hooked on it when I first saw a parked F-104 Starfighter at Masroor, I was around 4 years old at the time.

It was met with technical malfunctioning and had to be stopped with help of a rope net on runway after landing. Structural damage was extensive. PAC went to work! Repair almost entire lower fuselage including that most complex circular air intake. Re certified. Operational Now! https://t.co/YnpQCt8oGu

This happened in 2014/15 not sure about the date.
They were bombing the ttp hideouts when one bomb exploded prematurely upon release this caused extensive damage to the f-16 it was recovered from a flatspin by WC Azman khalil who was the GIB during that mission.

The items in yellow, are they composites, or normal aircraft grade metal alloys?

Primer?

 

[Blacklight]

Primer?

Definitely! But these parts in yellow, weren't the only ones replaced, hence the question.

Quite amazed at the incident though; do we know what type of munition was being fired that exploded? From the looks of the primer I guess the aircraft was totaled. Add on top a recovery from a flat spin. Wow.

The pilot was given award in a televised ceremony.
ACM was also involved in the operation.
ACM was on the radio with the pilot and both discussed the steps to be taken for stopping the aircraft upon landing.
