The sled boosters is supposed to mimic being launched and fired from a plane anyway, so that’s what you see. And allegedly the 1 ton variant has a bigger booster than the 250kg variant.

properly also determined by the platforms launching it
like the F35 that is undetected might start to get detected when a Very fast missile shows up on radar
That is true. AFAIK, modern ships also have very very strong IRSTs that can also detect missiles and supersonic missiles would have strong heat points as well.
True, although considering the ranges we are talking about, having an Awacs or additional F35s for targetting while the launchers stay under the horizon the entire time seems even sneakier

31 more Rafale M for India potentially.
So right now : 114 + 31 + 26 + 36 (-1) = 207 (206) for India making it clearly the second operator of the Rafale.
Compared to around 234 ~+ currently in orders for France.
Otherwise Neuron will be 10t empty weight.

What’s the -1 for? The one lost in Pakistan?
Not in pakistan but yeah pretty much it.
Ah alright. Didn’t they lose 3 though?
The sources are all very contradictory
1 mig 29 or other mig thing, 1 mirage 2k, 1 rafale
Dang that’s very different from the claims I’ve seen before
Do you have any sources on hand?
Dang that’s very different from the claims I’ve seen before
Not really and there are only 3 planes crashed in photos, and anyway by the number of engines there was on the ground, there could only be one Rafale down.

The 3 rafale shot down was claimed very quickly by Pakistan, where they shared a map of where they destroyed each aircraft. Only 1 rafale wreck was shared online, with the tail and engine picture/videos coming from the same overall area. At least 1 of the other rafale claim was shown to actually be of another wreck (Russian made jet iirc). I don’t remember what is known/claimed about the last “destroyed” rafale.

If you encounter posts / news with claims that more than one Rafale has been downed, its a fake news by State propaganda and chinese social media bots - as per Reports by Intelligence Agencies.

To this day we still don’t know if it’s a J10 or JF17 that shot down the rafale (unless I’ve missed something ?). I keep seeing both names being thrown around, depending if the people are Pakistani or Chinese
Played Raf a lot today due to air event, 60 PvP kills and 2 deaths. Still the GOAT.

The goat for sure but your skill is still beyond my imagination, I probably couldn’t even get more than 2kd with something op
Still insane, what the hell dawg… I just checked on statshark for the first time and my current kill per spawn is merely 86%… Even my kill per death is barely over 1 lol
What the hell
Can’t believe it myself but there are now at least three confirmed Rafale C F.4.2 and at least one Rafale B F.4.2 in active service - Yes, active service as these pictures were taken during ORION 26.
Also; take with a large grain of salt - allegedly F.4.2, as well as possible new F.4.2s for Egypt and India, may already be equipped with RBE2-XG.
