Seems like I can’t say GBU-10 is a more combat proven air to air weapon than Meteor anymore.

Thanks a lot Rafale

That was a joke

It seems that photos of India’s Rafale equipped with Meteor were rare.

I wondered if it was because they had few in stock.

They bought at least 250

I’m not arguing which is better I don’t care to have this argument I thought I made that clear. What I am saying is that they’re different.

Oh you deleted it. Well I’m keeping this here anyway

To clarify, we can’t post pictures of a downed aircraft even if discussion of the circumstances surrounding the downing isn’t mentioned?

Considering the current situation, and the fact that I’ve been informed that some of the “downed” pictures were disinformation, I would avoid posting those pics as of now.

yeah

one thing i wish we had was animated flight and speed stick in the cockpit, afaik its static and doesnt react to your inputs, no?

news leading to politic discussion then leading to flags or ban.

I’ve Seen in other threads where people posted equipment wrecks, without discussing anything else. Still I’d prefer not take the risk.

they are animated

I’ll just reiterate what I’ve previously said. I understand that this is related to the Rafale but the potential of it becoming a political discussion is simply too high, as we’ve seen in this thread a couple of days ago.

A general heads-up when it comes to these kind of situations… misinformation is quite easy to run by. Please do take everything with a grain of salt until there is official confirmation by respected and official institutes.

Things like the Rafale and EFT are still war machines, not invincible wonderweapons.

Things happen. Could be lack of proper maintenance, I’ve heard IAF has had issues with tthat
