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.

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
Hey dont bring Typhoon into this. :P
I was interested as French pilots use the SPECTRA system to enter and manage areas with IADS

The reason why you don’t see anyone showing hostility or choosing sides… is that we’ve already hidden those messages. We don’t talk or act out of thin air.

That is fair
It just seems since the event in the East the censorship has gone to another level on the forums.
While in game it is ignored including iconography/flags etc.
From this threads point of view having real life data on a weapon system or airframe will create discussion points. It is a real shame that we can reference the Gulf War, Syria/Libya campaigns but not what is currently happening.
In any forum you will always have bad actors and we are all arbitrarily punished for the mindless rants of the few.
Interesting to see if they will go through with this or cancel / alter the order
I don’t know if they really have any other choice if they cancel the orders. Russian aircrafts are under sanctions so they can’t buy Russian. They need a naval aircraft to replace their naval Mig-29s, and they already have assessed the Super Hornet against the Rafale three times now (MMRCA, MMRCA 2.0, and Naval competition), so they’re familiar with the performance of the Super Hornet.
