Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

again at this point I dont care it is close enough

Tisn’t, but okay.

the problem with the DA5 is that those realy are pretty much nearly finished Typhoons tranche 1 and whose capability might already be to high

To my knowledge, the DA.5 was the last variant without AESA, as well as having worse engines so it wouldn’t be as good as the production variants.

then i dont know what to say, because the DA1 never mounted weapons and the selling points of the DA2 and DA3 are the mk107 engines and the worse PD radars meaning the things are just worse then the tranche 1 EFTs

The DA5 is another German development unit but was, unlike the DA1, built by EADS Deutschland in Manching. It was the first Eurofighter to fly with the new ECR-90 radar and with a full avionics suite. It was also used for testing radar absorbent materials and for further avionics/software testing with Autopilot and Autothrust changes. Additionally, it was used for AMRAAM and AIM-9L integration in addition to IRIS-T testing in 2004.

if that is true then again they can come with the DA2 and DA3

ehhh seems like none of those even had a radar

The DA1 was the first development Eurofighter and was built by DASA. It was used to develop flight control systems and initially flew with RB 199 Mk.104E(also known as RB199-122) which are based on the Tornado’s engines. It was later fitted with EJ200-Series-03Z engines when those were available. It was also used to for IRIS-T integration and had its last flight on the 21st of December 2005.

After some research it would appear that this aircraft lacked countermeasures and other DASS(or Defensive Aid Sub System, so basically RWR, ECM, MWS and IFF) systems. It also appears to have lacked a radar because the first Eurofighter with a radar was the DA5.

not entirely true the first version to carry a radar was the twin seat DA4 but yeah

also the long cockpit

Dual seat are always the collest looking

As opposed to an air or ground fishing boat.

Guys why are we discussing Typhoons and Rafales here?

This is not the place and entirely off topic. Both of these aircraft are not close at all. So they don’t belong in this topic.

Please take the conversation to the machinery of war area.

I have no Idea, but the mention of the Forbidden Airframes always sparks a 300 text argument
