It has already been reported:
Eurofighter - RWR missing K band coverage
Rafael has PESA not AESA
It seems that the Rafale is going to be the F3R with an AESA tho. Bvvd himself said so

Alright, thanks
RBE2 is not AESA.
Adding this to this thread to because it’s some stinky reasoning. Basically gaijin doesn’t understand how the eurofighter can Mach 1.5 supercruise so therefore it’s a lie from manufacturer of the aircraft.

Can you leave the MAW on with the ef2k? or does it just dump Chaff/Flares like crazy or is it actually smart this time?
It dumps, and at least i cant turn it off. Thankfully it is blind 99% of the time.
Okay this is a new low for them lol

Do they realise that in the EU this is a massive breach of the law and thus the moment the eurofighter is unable to achieve this, the manufacturer would have been sued to high heaven?

They don’t. That’s the problem, they have no concept of how illegal it’d be for Eurofighter GmbH to claim that and then not deliver - after all, they (Gaijin) aren’t an EU company.

EU: We need a jet that can do X and Y.
Eurofighter consortium: We can do X and Y.
EU: We bought your jet and it cannot do X and Y!
Eurofighter: “…”
EU: Understandable, have a nice day

Ignoring the small matter of legality, if it transpired they claimed it could do something it couldn’t have, export orders would’ve dried up overnight.
