[@LOLOVAL-os3pq]

the Rafale is certainly less powerful or less fast than many other aircraft, but, against the Eurofighter, in 2009, 18 fights, 16 to 2 won by the Rafale, against the F22, 6 fights, 5 fights classified as "mutual neutralization " and the 6th fights for the victory of the Rafale! and yet, the F22 is twice as powerful as the Rafale (31.2 tonnes compared to 15 tonnes of thrust for the Rafale) the power of the Rafale is not shown in its speed limited by Dassault engineers (it still flies at 2200 km/h or mach 1.8!) take a converter from mach to km/h!!!!! even the faster F16 was beaten, yet faster and theoretically more maneuverable than a large twin-engine, the F18 also in India found its master during tests! a plane is not just its power, just a pilot, but it is a set of capabilities!! the Rafale at the end of 2023 still holds several records! for an aircraft weighing less than 10 tonnes (Rafale C 9850 kg) it carries almost 100% of its empty armament 9500 kg) it carries almost 150% of fuel and amenity (14650 kg) it is the only aircraft in the world to reach 11G positive in charge factor!! it has a slow passage at 80 knots (152 km/h) for an aircraft without vertical takeoff and without vectorized thrust, it can land at 100 knots (180 km/h) and it can land on an aircraft carrier at 120/130 knots (depending on loading on return) a reminder, an F18 lands at 152 knots on an aircraft carrier!!

[@NATObait]

Rafale M can't fold it's wings so won't fit the lifts on India's Carriers. Hornets do fit the lifts and are cheaper to buy and fly they also share engines with Tejus.

[@NATObait]

Rafale B went to Red Flag in 2008 and met with F-16Cs of 309th Fighter Squadron (FS), 56th Fighter Wing (FW) and in that encounter a Rafale B was ' shot down ' by a single seat F16C . So clearly that one victory should be constantly referred to in the same terms as the Rafale victory over an F22. Do you not understand an occasional victory in dissimilar training is not proof of dominance. Mirage 2000 pilots have plenty of kills over Rafale cousins to brag about again that is never mentioned by fan boys.

[@LOLOVAL-os3pq]

@@NATObait oh shit, I know nothing about the Rafale, red flag, Rafale VS F16 = 8 fights, 6 to 2 for the Rafale, ah what a moment did I say that the Rafale is never shot down! for your ignorance, a single reactor is supposed to be more maneuverable, more agile, than a dual reactor, therefore, why is your intervention essential????? you will never teach me anything about the Rafale and these meetings, I know much more than you on this subject, I read a thousand times more documents on this subject than you, I spend hours a day doing research since I no longer work at my age!! honestly, I don't need a pseudo KZbin expert to come and hold the candle to me on this subject!! against the eurofighters, 18 fights, 16 to 2 for the bursts, so there were indeed 2 defeats for the Rafales! You are wasting your time telling me your pretty stories that are of no interest to me!

[@LOLOVAL-os3pq]

@@NATObait oh yes, the minimum speed of a Rafale is 152 km/h without loss of lift, while a poor A10 loses its lift below 220 km/h!! the stall speed of an F16 is 125 to 130 knots or 230 km/h minimum, so if a Rafale goes below 200 km/h, the F16 or the A10 will pass in front of it, and that will be the end of it! and in the event of combat, a Rafale is the only plane (along with the F35 theoretically) to have fired a missile at a plane behind it, without using its radar, only with passive sensors! LOL and the F16 is inferior to the Mirage 2000 in almost all flight domains: maximum speed, flight autonomy, gun, maximum altitude, weapons carry, etc........... 2 Mirage 2000 Greeks have intercepted 2 Turkish F16s, the first F16 was shot down, and the second F16 had to flee!!!!

They always doubt my country. Remember, 6 Eurofighter lost to a single Rafale. The rafale might not be the fastest, the stealthiest or the best in any domain. But it is not the worst in any of them, it is versatile and reliable. It can do ground attack, interception, dogfighting, land on aircraft carrier (even US ones). And for the French airforce, it can carry the nuclear weapon. It's the Swiss Knife of fighter jet. And never a single Rafale crashes because of a mechanical failure, it runs like a charm !

Le Rafale n'utilise pas les plans canards de la même façon que l'Eurofighter. Pour l'Eurofighter les plans canards permettent un décentrage du centre de poussée/portance de l'avion de façon a donner à lappareil une instabilité structurelle qui grâce aux plans canards permet den faire un atout dans l'agilité. Cest un concept connu depyis lingtemos par Dassault. Ce dernier a souhaité aller plus loin. Cest ka raison pour laquelle les plans canards se trouvent en arrière sur le Rafale. Les plan canards ici permettent de jouer sur les flux dair de l'extrados et ainsi moduler la portance sur differents axes et differentes zones. On est donc sur de la portance modulée et active. C'est ce concept qui permet au Rafale ses qualités de vol. Ajoutons à cela ses comandes de vol electriques adaptées ( certains pilotes americains comprendront mes propos) et vous avez une belle bête de guerre. Merci de m'avoir avoir lu.

Quant aux canards, ils participent sans nul doute à manœuvrabilité de l'avion.

[@NATObait]

The Rafale is designed to have good low speed handling for carrier decks, hence close coupled canards and Gripen also for roadside missions. The Eurofighter had neither priority so the canards are used further away from the centre of gravity. That is why EFT has canards away from the wings, it gives leverage at transonic speeds. The Germans may buy the modification kit for new EK variant that improves manoeuvrability but it is not a priority as dog fights are less important and BVR is always the choice. Better to launch from height and speed then go home. Modern fights are detection and remaining undetected. The glamour is going and soon the pilots will be gone and AI will be the difference.

[@munjalsavla]

The Indian armed forces ought to learn from France. The incremental improvement approach of Rafale proved to be very successful. On the other hand, we aim for the moon directly with our requirements which puts undue pressure on the development and manufacturing functions. The LCA could have been inducted much earlier and then improved upon over time. I feel, one of the reasons for this is that the French are not open to acquiring foreign platforms and hence make do with what they have and keep improving it. We, on the other hand, did not put that pressure on ourselves and thus ended up slowing down our development speed and capability.

[@PurushNahiMahaPurush]

It helps that France is not surrounded by neighbours that want to occupy its territory. France has no immediate threat from its neighbours whereas things are much different for India. This is why France can take its time to slowly develop capabilities. But yea Tejas should have been inducted in the mid 2000s. It would have saved a lot of pilots lives and also made India more self reliant. It’s pretty clear that the 36 Rafale were purchased as a panic buy to counter the threat of J20s from China. I just hope the MoD and IAF has learnt from the mistakes of Tejas and don’t repeat them in AMCA and TEDBF. Both of them are needed more urgently than Rafale.

Relying on a French aircraft for critical security is a big risk. France can one day independently 'choose' to not supply spare parts because the other nation does not align with France on their foreign policy. For smaller nations, it may not be an issue but for large nations like India that are capable of producing their own, it is a big liability in terms of Forex as well as technology growth (there is no tech transfer involved, the aircraft were received in a ready-to-fly condition).

LOL I died laughing!! the Rafale outclassed the Eurofighter, and it dominated the F22 which is mach 0.4 faster and it is twice as powerful as the Rafale (31.2 tonnes of thrust for the F22 and 15 tonnes for the Rafale) the F22 even has vectorized thrust that the Rafale does not have, so why did the Rafale dominate the so powerful F22, which is 5th generation while the Rafale is 4++, although if we take the 7 characteristics of the Pentagon to be a 5th generation aircraft, the F35 and the F22 do not have all the characteristics, they would therefore be 4th generation, while the Rafale F3R or F4.1 or F4.2 or F5 would be 5th generation!! weird

N'oublions pas l'ecart de prix, les budgets des forces armée n'etant pas les mêmes la France se doit d'arbitrer en terme de polyvalence et de maîtrise des couts de maintenance. A noter aussi que les dogfight sont parfois réalisé en mode dégradé par l'un des 2 avions avec notamment des réservoirs externes qui degradent fortement les performances. Les forces armées françaises sont par contre toujours ravis de se frotter a ce qui se fait de meilleur dans chaque domaine car cela est tres riche d'enseignement.

A Rafale B went to Red Flag and lost to an F16.

[@ericbezagu8451]

Au réd flag, tout est fait pour que les américains gagnent....😂😂

[@sosobel5843]

People saying Rafale is bad are just... brainless or completely turned on by the F-35/F-22 admiration that shadows Rafale or Typhoon ?

Delta wing is less agile

Rafale is much better than any other NATO aircraft but every plane is easy to destroy. To explain this I will give example: at 1999. NATO aggression on Serbia showed that even old Soviet SAM systems can shoot down any plane. We shoot down famous stealth F117 and wounded badly the second one with old S125 Neva system from Soviet time, also some other planes but all of them were destroyed by old Soviet systems.

It’s only because they figured out the aircraft path - one office noticed that the planes always used the same entry and path. After they changed the flight plans they could not defeat another plane

France should pay Aviation Wall for this infomercial 😃

Rafale M doesn't fit in the lifts on Indian Aircraft Carriers as its wings don't fold like Super Hornet Block III. Maybe that is acceptable to politicians but in bad weather or war not being able to strike aircraft down for maintenance etc is its Achilles Heel. Perhaps a two seat M version would have been a consideration if offered but Dassault only made single seat offering so no Growler possibility. Having similar capabilities to F3R is on paper a good idea but the Navy would get little benefit from spending its budget on a type best suited to the Indian Airforce. France will not sell its Nuclear Protocols to anybody, ever, so any thoughts of using Nuclear delivery will have to be an Indian built concept.

No such issues bud 🙂

[@NATObait]

​@@DEFENCEGLOBE_HiteshAdhikari Sorry you are ignoring a simple fact. They were designed for Soviet era Migs with folding wings . Lots of Data out there you don't have to believe me. 10m wide .

[@DEFENCEGLOBE_HiteshAdhikari]

@@NATObait buddy i have talked to people who have worked with trials and testing. I wont say how, but the aircraft fits and he lift work fine 🙂 Although future iac will have wider lifts

[@NATObait]

@@DEFENCEGLOBE_HiteshAdhikari INS Vikrant has lifts of 10m wide so the only way Rafale fits is with removable wingtips so that is a possibility . But consider any wingtip electronics or missiles that need to be removed first before strike down occurs. Another Dassault project that will be an extra cost.

[@DEFENCEGLOBE_HiteshAdhikari]

@@NATObait i can assure u one thing, there is no such wingtip removal required. I cant state much but as told, the lift works fine with rafale, its just that they have lesser margin of error while doing it with rafale than with 29 🙂

After 2026 rafale will go in poor country can for modern pvo and stealth jets satellite navigation stelite rockets after 2030 jets will fly 3 mach at least
