It’s very obvious that Dassault is poking fun at the Raptor. Does it even need to be said?
F-22 fans are faster than an actual F-22 when you poke fun at it

Did you know Dassault has only produced about ~100 more Rafale than Raptor… and they’ve had twice the length of time to do so?

I mean Dassault JUST started a production increase because they were only going to export a few, for what France needed the production was fine
Doesn’t France only have 100 rafale’s, while the US has over 180 raptors?
Are you inferring that I’m an F-22 fan?
LMAO why getting so icky this poster is just a bit of fun because some facts have happened. Comparing number of Rafales built for France and number of Raptor built for US makes no sense. If US army had France army budget they couldn’t even own and use 80% of their current material and would look a total joke compared to the size of the US territory.

166 delivered out of 234 ordered (france only obviously)
Look at the first reply under the image
Just to clarify this not Dassault Marketing, this is fan made
From what i heard now, the production of the Rafale is fully booked for the 7 next years

Thread going off topic because some US fans got offended by a fanmade poster… Meanwhile they’ll brag ultra hard at any US valorising poster, be it official or fan made. This thread is about Rafale, the poster was about Rafale meanwhile the convo that came from the poster is almost full off topic.
export numbers are a bit harder to come by, but in total it is currently 507 aircrafts ordered, of which 266 were delivered
Yet in past 4 years, they are outselling everything.
This is a Dassault Rafale thread. Lets avoid discussing the F 35 here. It is getting off topic.

Oh do I have news for you
not much is known, but from what is “public” :
good old classic jamming, LWR, RWR, automatic countermeasure deployment, (but those are old tech by now)
Jamming/threat detection is most likely 2-40 GHz
And, unconfirmed as well but very likely : it can fire a missile with the RWR only

Firing with RWR is actually hilarious

For the US DASSs or spectra for the rwr claim? I’ve heard of it for alr-94 (and logically would apply to asq-239)
