you are right, an example, in the USA, he met the F16 CJ, its only function is to detect targets on the ground to bomb them, the Rafale, omni role (which does all types of missions) ridiculed this specialized aircraft in detecting ground targets at 35/40 km, which the F16 had not detected! In bombing, with the A2SM bomb (AASM) can fire this bomb in 1000 kg version at 15000 m altitude and these munitions will travel 70 km with a precision of 1 meter, we can practically choose the window through which the bomb will enter inside ! the Rafale fires the 300 Kt ASMPA nuclear missile with around 500 km range! the Rafale can fire the SCALP missile with a range of 560 km! the Rafale can fire the EXOCET anti-ship missile! the Rafale can fire a 30 mm cannon on ground targets or bombs (it replaces the JAGUAR in this function) and in air superiority, the burst has ridiculed the Eurofighter, 18 fights in 2009, 16 to 2 for the Rafale ! the Rafale met the F22, supposedly the best air superiority plane, the Rafale showed that it was largely at its level, 6 fights, 5 fights were classified as mutual neutralization and the 6th fight, the Rafale's victory with 2 separate and different shots! and yet, the F22 has 31.2 tons of thrust, the Rafale only 15 tons, the F22 flies faster with mach 2.2 while the Rafale was limited to mach 1.8 (already flown at mach 2!!) and the F22 has vectorized thrust, which the Rafale does not have! yes, you are right, the Rafale is a beast of war, the late English pilot Peter Collins said that the Rafale is a brute, capable of breaking your spine! the Rafale remains the only aircraft to reach 11G+ while the others do not exceed 9G+!! and in a video, the Indian air marshal who manages the bursts who answers the questions of an Indian journalist, the journalist asks what he thinks of the Rafale, the marshal replies that the Rafale is an exceptional plane, and its interface comes from another world!!

First, the narration says the Rafale carries 9000 lbs. max. on its external hardpoints, then seconds later it says it's 9000 kg. A kilogram is about 2.2 lbs. For those who are rightly confused, the Dassault website says both numbers are off. It can carry 9.5 metric tonnes (9500 kg), which converts to 21,000 lbs.

[@LOLOVAL-os3pq]

it is 9500 kg of armament or 14650 kg in armament and fuel, the Rafale C weighs 9850 kg, and 24500 kg at full load, this poor Eurofighter which weighs 11000 kg carries only 10000 kg in armament and fuel! total weight of 21000 kg! a Rafale therefore carries 4650 kg more than the Eurofighter which is however faster and above all more powerful than the Rafale!!

[@patta8388]

@@LOLOVAL-os3pqI was always a fan of both of those, and in the early days clearly favoured the Typhoon. But with the upgrades the french have put into the Rafale, it has evolved into something else, man.

[@LOLOVAL-os3pq]

@@patta8388 have you noticed several design flaws on the Eurofighter? ) the air inlets are next to each other, already, first fault, they are in the axis of the engines, therefore, an enemy plane from the front will detect the infrared sources of the two engines through the inlets air (on the Rafale, they are not in the axis of the engines) second, in the event of extinction of one of the two engines, the second can be extinguished by a pumping effect (on the Rafale, the two air inlets are separate, so there is no risk of the second engine shutting down due to pumping effect), the canards obstruct the pilot's downward vision (on the Rafale, the canards are further back) in addition, they are only used to unhook before the wings, they have no interaction on the wings because they are placed too far forward (on the Rafale, the canards benefit entirely from the wings, increasing lift if necessary by diverting the air flow on top of the wing), the front landing gear is poorly placed, it prohibits the installation of a ventral tank of more than liters (on the Rafale, we can install a tank of liters without problem) the rear landing gear is poorly placed, it forces the installation of large loads closest to the central part, where the resistance is the strongest, the large loads are pushed a little further towards the ends of the wings (this inconvenience does not exist on the Rafale) not to mention a construction defect in the airframe discovered by the German mechanics, which limited the maneuvers to 7G and not 9G during the demonstrations (the Rafale demonstrated at more than 10G, once 10.4G displayed on the heads-up display) one wonders if the design of the Eurofighter with 4 was not counterproductive?????? the funny thing, the left wing is not made in the same country as the right wing!!! This is all the truth!!!

@@patta8388 I don't understand how the 4 countries that participated in the development of the Eurofighter could have made so many mistakes, these two planes are very similar, but the Eurofighter being more powerful and faster than the Rafale should have been very close to the Rafale while in 2009, the results of the 18 fights between these two planes showed that the Rafale is clearly superior!! I really and sincerely have difficulty understanding this huge difference!! as for the maximum admissible load on the Eurofighter, empty weight 11000 kg, fully loaded 21000 kg or 10000 kg in armament and fuel, while the Rafale carries almost the same weight only in armament with 9500 kg!! I really don't understand that, I swear I don't understand this huge difference for two devices that are so similar! like the load factor of the Rafale which is 11G positive and only 9G for the Eurofighter, it is incomprehensible to me!!!

Since the release of this video three months ago, I would like to add information regarding the standards of the burst. Currently in 2023, most of the French Rafales are at the F4 standard, but by 2040 there are plans to bring all French Rafales to the latest official standard planned, which is the F5 standard. In the meantime, the manufacturer Dassault Aviation and its partners are said to be working on a possible Standard F6, but this should not see the light of day before 2060.

[@Arleq1]

If i'm not mistaking i think that the F4 standard as been validate only few month ago so it will hard to modernise all the F3 standard rafales into F3/R standard (equivalent to the F4 standard) in just few month it wil take few years. But the new rafales that are being delivered to France in the "all Rafale" project to replace the good old mirage and increase the capabilities will be native F4 standard of course.

Initially, it wasn't planned to build 250 aircraft for France, but 320. Then it was reduced to 286. Then, reduiced again, but without knowing the final target. The defense white book define a target of 225 fighter aircraft for both air force and Navy. But it can be changed.

You are just a stupid guy who knows absolutely nothing at all. Typhoon has been developped MAINLY as a superiority air defense aircraft, so this is BASICALLY a specialized aircraft. Typhoon has been further developped in multirole function BUT NOT with the same success as Rafale. Typhoon is still a good "interceptor" but THIS IS STILL AN AWFULL aircraft for air to ground mission, penetrating deeply in the enemy territoty There is also a very simple reason little STUPID GUY, most country that runs Typhoons BOUGHT F 35, F35 is also a speciliazed aircraft but the the area of "attack aircraft", so Tyhoon and F35 are complementary aircraft. France didn't want to be so much "american" dependant, so at the begining IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLEAR THAT RAFALE WOULD BE ULTIMATELY MULTIROLE and would possibly evolve in a another navy version (this was not clear at the beginning as "buying" american fighter jet for the Charles de Gaulles carrier was an "open" option, Dassault simply proved later to the "DGA" that its Rafle could do this adaptation) So fundamentally, designing a "per se" multirole did have a great impact on basic architectures choices, and quickly DGA and Dassault came to the conclusion that based on the architectural choices required by other countries, Typhoon would never be at all a good multirole fighter.... and lately, they have been totally right. Contrary to many other european countries, France leads external operations since long time... and France needed ABSOLUTELY an aircraft that would have enhanced air attack capablliies. Clients of the Typhoon were only interested by "air defence superiority" as most of them had ordered the F35, so France kwew that Typhoon Multorole would comme VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY lately, and would porbably not be as efficient as expected. If Rafale is still selling very well and Typhoon has not recorded new customers since long time.... thera are obvious reasons. As most countries have not the defence budget of USA able to manage huge specialized fleets of aircraft, Rafale is the ONLY GOOD MODERN SOLUTION proving to have an excellent superiority air defence capabilities combined with efficent air attack capabilities, far better than multirole version F16 Viper, and better than F18 Hornet Indonesia wanted F35, but US refused and offered F16 VIper.... Indonesia immediately switched to Rafale (and also french Scorpene submarine), considering it as far more advanced that F16 VIper, and got absolutely NO INTEREST at all for the Typhoon.... because Indenosia was very interested by "Omnirole capabilities" that doen't really have the Typhoon as today. And you know what ? Typhoon has never beaten a Rafale in NATO dogfight training, the only one to have today superior capacities in air defense over Rafale is F22 (not speaking of very new russian SU-57 for which we know very few things) And between SCAF and Tempest, this will be the same thing. SCAF is currently designed to be "per se" multirole and to further evolve in a "navy" version, Tempest is designed mainly as the successor of the Typhoon so AS a superiority air defence aircraft because AGAIN britis, italiian, Japanese.... have alreday F35 that are targetting air attack role. In fact... there are currenttly two American NGAD programs... one leaded by Northrop to be the successor of F35 for the american air force and one leaded by Boeing to be the successor of F18 Hornet for the american Navy... One is a specialized aircraft, the other is clearly a "multirolle aircraft", so SCAF will be likely more a competitor to the Boeing NGAD program, not really for the Northrop program who focuses clearly on furtivity.

And 5th generation do not mean better effectiveness.

Hey there, the logo of your channel prominently featuring a Chinese CCP aircraft might give the impression to your audience that you are producing content on behalf of the CCP China. Therefore, I personally choose not to be a part of your channel. Additionally, there's a possibility that KZbin might take action against your channel in the near future, once they identify the use of the exact IP address.

the Rafale program started in 1984, the first flight of the Rafale was in 1986, Dassault designed the Rafale in 2 years! as Dassault still had Mirage 2000s to produce, the time between 1986 and its entry into service in the French army allowed its improvement, as the M88 were still in development, the Rafale flew with two American engines, like these two engines were much bigger than the M88s, the silhouette of the Rafale was further refined thanks to the M88s! the Rafale is a 10 ton aircraft (9850 kg for the Rafale C) it still holds several records in its category (-10 tons and twin engine)

The Rafale programm itself started in 1988. In 1984 it was a technological demonstrator. Rafale A (first flight in 1986 ) and C (1991) have a general aerodynamic in common, but they are two completely different aircraft.

The real "roots" of Rafale program is "Mirage 4000" that Dassault tried to develop for Saudi Arabia, as France was not interested, being at this time a too "ambitious" program. So no, Dassault has never developped this aircraft in 2 years, this is in fact a much longer and complex stories, Dassault acquired many KEY design with the Mirage 4000 demonstrator to later amend the projetc in a mulltirole program.

@@fidelio3841 and the 4000 come from the G8, and so on... We are talking about a technological demonstrator. It's development of an airframe and FMS, that's it. It was similar for EFA, X X32 and X35, etc. It took the same time approximately for 4000 development. The development of internal weapon system, sensors, data fusion and electronic warfare take much longer time.

@@fidelio3841 the Mirage 4000 looks more like a Mirage 2000 on steroids, but there is not much in common between the Rafale and the Mirage 4000, electric flight controls also exist on the Mirage 2000! where did you read that the Mirage 4000 was designed for Saudi Arabia, on wikmerdia, apart from that the 4000 was designed with Dassault's own funds for the French Air Force, the relationship with Saudi Arabia is that this country with Iraq were interested but the negotiations were unsuccessful!! the French state having refused to finance the program for the design of other prototypes, Dassault stopped this program, if you take the information from wikimerdia, make sure to read correctly and repeat the same thing!! but, there is no relationship in terms of shape, size, engines and others with the Rafale! the only similarities are the identical electric flight controls on the 2000 and the 4000, and the delta wings! but the Rafale program got off to a good start after France left the other countries which did not have the same needs as France, because France with 2 aircraft carriers also needed an aircraft which landed on these aircraft carriers!

[@LOLOVAL-os3pq]

@@bug2k64 thank you but I know all that, and what you say is false, the Rafale program started in 1984, like any aircraft, there is always a demonstrator, but it was still a Rafale, the whole thing looked like the Serial flurry! and yes, I know that prototype A had 2 American engines, F404s, you are going to teach me what my country manufactures maybe???? I am French, and I worked for a Dassault and Airbus subcontractor!
