Rafale should have reduced infrared signature

Love to see it, modern technology is amazing

what nonsense, Raphael doesn’t have a body shape to reduce RCS
Merry Christmas !

Responding to one questionable statement with another questionable statement is the wrong way to go.
What about the B-1B on your picture?
lmao what is this nosense?
Yeah so Rafale doesn’t have a shape to reduce RCS but B1B does. Interesting… Also all numbers on this bad made chart are false but whatever floats your boat mate. Rafale is a Low Observability aircraft, meaning it has a RCS between 1m² and 0.01m² without RAM coating a clean Rafale has a RCS of arround 1m² so going below 1m² isn’t reality bending.

Actually, this is not a dubious statement, but a picture from a book.
Rafale rcs .001 m^2
Pure uncoated Rafale cannot have 1m^2, and 0.001m2 is at a limited angle with a certain frequency
Which doesn’t make it any less dubious.

The B-2 Spirit being a higher RCS than the F-117 Nighthawk is laughable. All other papers have the B-2 Spirit at a much lower RCS than the more primitive older Nighthawk.

The Indians captured frontal look of Rafale and their Su-30 and Mig-29 with a thermal camera during an exercise. It’s an interesting look, note the differences in the intakes:

Rafale intakes be like : What’s heating?

This is a very respected source.
Vertically positioned radar, of course, reduces RCS (NO)
The Rafale D is the designation for the production version of the Rafale A, which never made it to production and instead underwent significant structural changes. Does your graph refer to something else?
