oh F yeahWhen India will get Rafale , MKI won't be the best fighter of Asia. It would definitely be Rafale.

New Recruit
You forget the J-10B which will most probably be the best air-superiority fighter in South Asia this decade.
I agree with that statement.
Rafale was designed to do everything, but at the cost of being slightly less good at everything than if it was specifically designed for just one role.
J-10B has been optimised purely for air-superiority and will contain the latest Chinese advances in turbofan, radar and missile technologies. Remember, Pakistani engineers described the J-10A's avionics as being only a par with the F-16 Block 50, so you can imagine just how much better the J-10B's avionics will have progressed in the last decade.
I only got involved when someone was using the word "DOMINATE" as far as SU-30MKI and Rafale are concerned. J-10B will be the Chinese 4+ generation counter to these Indian planes.
oh yes they have been developing avionics but it is no way comparable to french ,& that is the reason why PAF officials were
dying to have those avionics for their JF 17.
Well readers enjoy this cool video & u also see what amazing avionics RAFALE has
B]AMAZING VIDEO DEPICTING ALL THE SENSORS ON BOARD RAFALE[/B]
Again, you are not thinking about what makes a good air-superiority fighter.
It is not just sexy avionics.
Airframe design is very important.
With air-superiority fighters, BVR enegagements will pretty much rule. The F-22 is specifically designed to knock down other aircraft at BVR and will not have much advantage in the WVR arena.
Fact is that the J-10 is optimised for fighting in this arena while the Rafale has not.
This is not due to the fact that the French are no able to do it but because they needed
a fighter that could do everything. Inevitably the areas that are important for air superiority like
top-speed and service height ceiling had to be compromised.
If we look at these 2 important parameters for Rafale, J-10 and F-22:
Rafale: Top speed of Mach 1.8 and Service ceiling of 16,800 metres
J-10: Top speed of Mach 2.2 and Service ceiling of 18,000 metres
F-22 : Top speed of Mach 2.25 and Service ceiling of 19,800 metres
We can clearly see that the F-22 has the highest speed and the highest ceiling. The J-10 is next with the Rafale trailing.
If the J-10 and the Rafale detected each other at the same time, from say 100km away, the J-10will have an immense advantage over the Rafale as it could get higher and fly faster and could release it's BVR AAM with more energy(both potential and kinetic) which will increase it's chances
of a hit.
The Rafale may have slightly better avionics than the J-10B but the J-10b's higher service ceiling and speed will allow it to have the upper hand in any engagements.

well as rafale's airframe is designed as omnirole fighter that makes a jack sense that it cant be good air superiority fighter as it is not designed as purely an airsuperiority fighter ,Again, you are not thinking about what makes a good air-superiority fighter.

aare dactar saheb kahe energy waste kar rahe hai bhai?????....anyway nice info....well as rafale's airframe is designed as omnirole fighter that makes a jack sense that it cant be good air superiority fighter as it is not designed as purely an airsuperiority fighter ,
Meanwhile do u know Rafale is designed to withstand more than 11G & french pilots have said to achieve 11 g manuveurs which clearly states it is highly manuverable & optimized for aerial combat
hey man!!
F 22 is a stealth fighter with cutting edge avionics & ECM with ultralong range BVRAAMS .As it is a stealth jet it is specifically designed for BVR warfare .
Meanwhile rafale is a semistealth fighter but far stealthy than J1o & chinese flanker copy.
Do u know Any way i would to like to enlighten u that Rafale thanks to it's 5th GEN spectra EW (ELINT /SIGNIT)suite has unique ability of passive detection of all aerial targets when they are in active mode (radar turn on) from more than 100 miles away & not only that it can also cue it's air to air missiles without turning on it's own aesa radar for stealth reason .this capabilty other than rafale only F22 raptor ALR 94 system has. ALso f35 may have it no confirmation yet.
Meanwhile J10b has to rely on it's IRST for passive detection but it can only detect IR signature & that is not effective at extreme long range ,but SPECTRA detects EM detection & it can cue Radar guided missiles to it's targets at long ranges.
OMG!! facepalm
son telll u what u r theoritically outdated about aerial warfare This theory is applicable during world war I & II not in todays warfare.
If speed & service ceiling is taken the criteria for air supremacy then Even mirage 2000 with speed of Mach 2.2 (2,530+ km/h, 1,500+ mph) at high altitude(17,060 m (59,000 ft)) also has same speed that of j10b at high altitude does that make it superior to j10b lolzz.
Dude today's BVR warfare age relies on stealth .advanced avionics & ECM & manuveurability & high quality BVRAAM to beat ur opponents.Do U know EA -18 growler thanks to it's advanced electronic warfare suite has managed to defeat F22 in BVR warfare .Todays age Fighter has to rely more than speed & ceiling height to prevail in aerial warfare .
& RAFALE has all that except Stealth like F22 raptor but it is far stealthy than J10b thanks to it's spectra advanced electronic
jamming system
LOLLZ
another B.S missile speed doesnt increase the chance of kill probabilty only ,the most important criteria is missile seeker & that is most important & but the problem is the plane which has better ECM & manuverabilty can survive those missiles .
Dude Rafale has SPECTRA electronic warfare suite which is not an ordinary electronic countermeasure suite which it looks to u.
Infact it
SPECTRA A DIGITAL REVOLUTION:
WHY spectra is so superior to other ECM suite of J10?
• High angular accuracy compliant with DIRCM needs Not j10b
http://www.mbda-systems.com/mediagal.../ddm_ng_ds.pdf
• Passive detection and FIRING of GPS weapons with SPECTRA? NOT j10b
• < 1* angular precision industrial standard class? NOT j10b
• Passive detection and FIRING of AAM with SPECTRA? not j10b
meanwhile Rafale has 2 amazing missile Metoer ramjet BVRAAM & Mica IR missiles which can easily take down any chinese pirated jets
MY A$$$
dude J10b didnt stand a chance until it is not escorted by J20 .Yes it would be superior only in ur wet dreams or in chinese/pakistani forums not in reality
Plz stop wasting ur & my time
it is so annoying that an idiot which has no technical knowledge on aviation is spreading B.S after reading crap from some chinese forum & copy ,pasting that garbage here .^^^^ brand ambassadors of J-10B & Rafale are fighting it out......
3) About top speed of J-10B, it probably won't be crossing mach 2.0. DSI is cannot handle that kinds of speeds, for that you would need a movable inlet design.
EXACTLY
DSI cant withstand such high speeds that is the reason F 35 has top speed of mach 1.6 ,now tell does that make F35 inferior to J10b
well i have explained some part about Spectra in my above post@DrSomnath999
can you kindly elaborate Rafale's spectra suit and radar cancellation technique..thanx in advance doc..
