Im curious about how fast the scan rate is considering what’s being said here tbh. There is substantially more detailed info on the wikipedia page than i was expecting. Its gonna be interesting digging through the sources later.
According to the Russian classification, the Su-34 is a front-line bomber…It does not fly without the Khibiny complex and was originally designed with it, during the design process the complex could not be made integrated into the airframe…
Gripen has more CM’s as it is confirmed to be able to carry BOL rails on 4 pylons, Eurofighter hasn’t been shown with more than 2 rails just on the outer wingtips though some of the new BAE marketting renders seem like they might show 4.
Rafale has less flares with a maximum of 64 flares and 224 chaff.
Eurofighter has a maximum of 320 BOL CM’s split between flares or chaff plus up to 32 programmable flares/chaff (you can take either). IMO the ideal loadout would probably be half and half, maybe more of the smart chaff than smart flares as BOL should cover it when it gets unnerfed.
MAWS i’m not gonna claim to be the most informed in but all three have MAWS.
Eurofighter has 3 AESA MAWS antennae giving 360 degree coverage around the aircraft, PIRATE is optional and can also track missiles in the frontal aspect using both UV and IR tracking including once the motor has finished burning, the LWS also provides 360 degree coverage from lasers.
Rafale has 2 UV MAWS antennae though I don’t know the coverage of them. These can detect missiles though struggle more once the motor has burnt out.
Gripen also has MAWS not sure what kind, also as Skyward-G on Gripen E is based on PIRATE I imagine it has similar functionality though the system is smaller and has lower processing power.
