Rafale performance review

[White and Green with M/S]

it has 3 axis FBW sir.

waisy if thunder comes against a Rafale in South Asian scenario, turning off the FCS wont be a bad idea, watch the video below Thunder has became Rafale here without FCS.

Most pilots gets unconscious at 5Gs, but very few best of the best pilot can sustain 9Gs but only 10 seconds, to defeat your enemy electronic warfare system is more important than agility and maneuverability, unless you have unmanned fighter jets which will have no G issues because lack of pilots

Watch till the end, guys how many Gs you guys think Rafale is pulling here?

I had found this comment from internet;

''Some have claimed the Rafale to be capped at 12G in standard operating manoeuvers (although 12G is still pretty extreme), but they also claim that the Rafale can mechanically go up to 14G in emergency operating manoeuvers. I have no official info to back that claim so we can't use it as 100% reliable. There is however a video of a near-miss accident of the French Navy, where we see a Navy Rafale engage in a "Split S" manoeuver too low : the jet pulls up less than 5 meters from the waves (the exhaust of the engines actually create a wake in the water because the jet came so low). I honestly don't know how many Gs were pulled by the pilot when he realized he wasn't going to make it by pulling "normal" hard Gs, but I wouldn't be surprised that he eventually did 14Gs at that moment. '' Here is that video;

Rafale F3R can turn upto 27 degrees/sec. too compared with JF17's 26 deg/sec.{with Block-1/2} and 8.5 Gs of Block 1-2 and maybe 9Gs{?} for Block-3

@airomerix @Hodor @Windjammer plz review if this info. is accurate and if so then how will PAF manage Rafale in ACM?
@gambit

Just one question...at what g level does a pilot black out? The article is written by a bafoon as the structures required to make this possible will have a significant weight penalty. Internet is full of BS

kakay! it has SPECTRA. Goodluck with that.

so how many Gs you think Rafale is pulling here? all the while remembering that our Noman Akram couldnt pull as much Gs in his F16 and unlike Rafale in this video, he wasnt even in sea level but at a much higher altitude.
