Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

The report doesn’t use the PVS2000 brochure in the report. Report is now closed so I cannot edit it, here’s whats included. The files included are just to provide sources for the attached images.

The report is just mainly to deal with the fundamental disadvantage of pulse-doppler MAWs in general rather than Eurofighter’s MAWS specifically which is why the majority of the sources are dealing with literature on radar-based maws.

Reports dealing with key features of certain pulse-doppler maws would have to be separate I’d imagine.

Unrelated but I think there should be a Super Etendard SEM-5 with all of its features, Magic 2s, GBU-49s, thermal targeting pod, and a Rafale M to come in the same patch

More naval France, please!

F-8P as well!

I want to suffer with no flares and IRCCM missiles

Mine now

With how fast things are moving outside we might see another reason for the rafale to be claimed by the british and adding one to the US too…

why? we have enough of our own stuff to have us going for years, maybe even decades at the rate they are adding US stuff

I am not saying the opposite, i am just saying players would ask gaijin about but yeah it wouldn’t make sense.

UK has enough stuff too, doesn’t mean they won’t talk about getting things if there is a possibility according to Gaijin.

Similar to anti-radiation missiles, RWR frequency coverage isn’t always set in stone and can often be tuned / extended depending on the requirements …

For example:

I’d rather the Rafale succeed IRL than in-game tbf

I love Rafale M :)

Isn’t that the combined PVS 2000 / AMIDS brochure? If not then I think you’ve found something the British/ German community have not been able to do far.

Well … I’m guessing they haven’t discovered google yet …

Well done, that is literally the combined PVS 2000 / AMIDS brochure I am talking about…

He said the report does not use a PVS 2000 brochure though. So either he is mistaken and it does actually use that brochure, or he has found a entirely new brochure that no one in the British or German research communities have been able to find.

Yeah, I think I missed the “if not” there in the middle :)

But either way, this brochure doesn’t seem to prove what you seemingly want to use it to prove (being undetectable by RWR).

It just says “low power”.

Which is a relative term … Of course a small radar is “low power” …
And nobody is asking for it to be detectable from 400km away …

Rafael should only be placed in other nations trees if:

  1. They currently do not have a contemporary/comparable platform. (As the UK has the eurofighter, then it really has no reason to have the rafael from india as it is exactly the same aa the french rafale.

Or

  1. The host country that uses the aircraft has signficantly modified it from the original specification to make it a unique aircraft, such as different engines, avionics or weapons.

Also we could say the same argument that the Rafale RBE2 AESA uses LPI modes to have it become undetectable.

Another option is that I included it in the text but completely forgot to upload the brochure or even a screenshot of it, I was just mainly focused on uploading the literature sources. Gunjob can tell everyone here whether or not the brochure had been uploaded (it hadn’t).

Wasn’t on the report no.
