u missed the most important one i.e RCS & survivavilty in intense electronic warfare environment where Rafale gets the upperhand.
Actually I didn't, I said that Rafale will have better passive detection and avionics capabilities, while I left out the RCS on purpose, because it's mainly speculation and if you compare both, you have to do it on equal basis. That means if we talk about a Su 35 with full fuel capacity, we have to talk about a Rafale with 3 x 2000l external fuel tanks. Do you think it still would have the lower RCS? I have my doubts and since I can't confirm it, I chose to leave it out and say nothing on that point.
been stated the RBE 2 aesa radar is going to have twice the detection range of Rafale's Rbe pesa radar against a fighter size
aircraft target.How authentic it is needs to be seen??
so may be RBE 2 aesa radar may be having same detection range
There are several reliable sources that confirmed this, basically you can say that the IRBIS PESA has twice the range of the RBE 2 AESA in Rafale, which have a lot to do with the size and power of the Russian radar. So Rafale might not be able to detect the Su 35 actively, but possibly passively with it's advanced RWRs.
2) range :
true SU 35 is known to have more range with drop tanks but Rafale with 3 external drop tanks can out range as it range without drop tanks is 3700km ,u should note how many drop tanks can Su 35 carry
That's not correct, that's the ferry range of Rafale including 3 x tanks:
Ferry range: 4,500
with 2 х PTB-2000 external tanks, km
KNAAZ*- Production - Su-35
3) weapon load
almost same
14 hard points for rafale but what about su 35 u better check
That's what I said in one of the earlier posts, don't look at the paperspecs only, look deeper to see the differences!
Of the 14 hardpoints 2 are meant for LDP or reece pods, with maxim fuel capacity to equal even the internal fuel capacity of the SU 35, 2 wingstations and 2 centerline stations will be occupied, which leaves only 8 hardpoints and 4.7t payload for weapons.
The Su35 instead with full internal fuel will remain with 10 to 12 hardpoints (depending on ECM pods) and 8t payload, that's why Rafale has superior payload on paper, but the Flanker has superior weapon load in reality.
& rafale more optimized for carrying strategic cruise missiles than SU 35 as it can carry upto 3 cruise missiles like APCHE /scalp
what about su 35??
Up to 5 x Kh 59MK (930Kg)
Up to 3 x KAB 1500 (1500Kg)
Rafale with 2 fuel tanks only:
Up to 3 x Scalp (1100Kg)
Up to 3 x GBU 24 (907Kg)
but what about it's IR signature in comparision to rafale 's engine
That is one of Rafales high points again, the low observability.
