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.
id love to see the rafale M in game at some point, idk i love naval aircrafts and a nice conclusion after the super etendard
It’s also basically admitting an inadequacy in your air force if your new primary plane gets cancelled
India didn’t sanction Russia correct. The US sanctioned Russian defence industry though which led to Egypt canceling Su-35 orders for example. Egypt risks U.S. sanctions over Russian fighter jet deal: U.S. official | Reuters
Pretty sure they’re already trying to develop their own 5th gen, I’m not exactly sure. But would be funny if the US sells India some F-35s even though India has S-400s when they canceled the F-35 orders for Turkey due to them purchasing S-400s as a concern.
Egypt: I consent.
Russia: I consent.
Uncle Sam: Isnt there someone you forgot to ask?
it’s not something like deflector shield that keeps every attack away.
SPECTRA system is not so advanced now, many other planes also have similar system(including J-10CE I think)
and the aesa seeker with digital backend have the ability of cheating rwr and ecm system
I mean, it’s a relatively newer missile with more latest tech.
Especially when you already have access to the plane to study it and its systems
(Can’t elaborate here, PM if you don’t understand)
It isn’t obvious to me, what is that supposed to mean? I missed something probably
This is the third time a staff member has had to come into here and warn people over discussing on-going conflicts in which i’ve had to delete many conflict & off topic replys. So i will lay it out again;
3.1.6 political and religious agitation and propaganda, including propagation of conflicts; discussion of actual political and religious issues is also prohibited due to the provocative nature: we urge you not to draw comparisons between war-historical themes and any of the political events;
Any more comments from this point forward which break this rule will result in action taken against your account.
is this kind discussions ok, or should I simply just avoid anything related
Talking about the Rafale’s systems is fine, Just avoid any talk of current conflicts regarding their uses of the systems.
In regards to the quote, I’d avoid that topic.
Hope that answers your question ^^
PL-15 has an AESA radar seeker? Thats good to know
