Think you can do one for missing guncover?
Ofc, it is. French tried to pull this only once because it was on home turf, but ppl started laughing and things got quite inconvenient. :D
didn’t know you were serious.
you know that this isnt quite the case right? if i advertise that my product can do a certain thing, and then the customer finds out that it is a marketing lie, then you’re finished as a defence contractor.
Not this guy
That’s your opinion, but it doesn’t quite work like that.
GJ is gonna do what GJ does, anyway, so…sometimes it’s just funny to watch. :D
it’s not my opinion and it’s not about gaijin, you pulled out the thing that dassault lied about raf supercruise performance (without any proof to back it up).
if this is the case then gaijin is right to label the M1.5 supercruise of the Typhoon as “clear marketing lie” because they think it’s impossible

you know him?
It’s like with RBE2-AA. It was advertised with 1000+ T/R modules and 40 simultaneously tracked targets. In the end, when it came out, it had 838 modules and the information about simultaneously tracked targets did not appear anywhere else. Isn’t that a ‘clear marketing lie’?

Could customers “preorder” that 1000 modules aesa or could they buy only finished 833 modules product? If they couldnt order 1000 module one, its not marketing lie as you cant even get fictional product.
First off, Thales advertised that the radar would have “around 1,000 T/R modules”, this ended up being true at 838. They never specifically stated anything more than 1,000. Further, it did end up that RBE2-AA was capable of simultaneously tracking 40 targets, this has been reported.

I have see his bug reports and it doesn’t give me confidence
Unless you make them smaller (this might actually happen with RBE2-XG, also thanks to the new module technology they will use for it) in-order to have more space for more T/R modules, yes - However, the current RBE2-AA doesn’t have any space for ~200 additional modules. It would also require a major airframe change to fit a bigger Radar as far as I know.
(Even though there are rumors about a new Airframe being planned for F.6, also to increase stealth capabilites…)

going off of T/R module count wouldnt that make it one of the weakest, if not the weakest, production AESA ever?
wow you guys are really false flagging now huh?
The problem is that the module cannot be “smaller”. Its size is determined by the frequency (length of the emitted wave) of the radar. If there are fewer modules than advertised, the radar’s characteristics are worse than advertised.
I don’t know. Signal processing is important too. But all other things being equal, the fewer modules, the worse the performance.

You can always supplement the raw performance with processing and how system handles tracks and so on.
And first western out of US aesa on fighter jet… noone else in EU could do that until recently. If france had military budget of US and could actually throw same ammount of cash into weapon development, they would probably dwarf US weapons and platforms in capabilities significantly.
true, but the potential of the system is limited by the number of T/R modules
and process is either equal or worse than equivalents as like you said, RBE2 AA was the first from europe so wouldnt have as refined features like that
Well, the later AESAs arent really equivalent, are they, they are nearly decade younger systems in age where radar tech progresses with lightning speed.
Stealth as we know it, might aswell be dead within next decade or so.
