I'm a pure french, with a limited english.

With another 2 "shortcomings" : Low endurance in air to ground, and too specialized in air air (because it was studied to fly along the Tornado, so mainly in air to air cover. Unfortunately the fall of the iron wall delayed the program). AWACS will be the first rank air battle target ! Rafale...

Assembly quality seems poor (rivets poorly flush, some uncutters...). Canards non aligned with main wings. => probably not as stealthy as F22. For me it's a stop gap long range fighter, not the chinese dark star.

Not milliseconds ! M2000 has the edge the first 2 or 3 initial turns. It has to win during these first turns, in a pure dog fight. What is the link with the subject ?

NO. Mirage 2000 is not fitted with canards and is very agile. Close canards are used to energize the air flow on top of the main wings, this is the explanation of the Rafale load capacity. Mirage III was a stable platform. The same delta winged Mirage 2000 is unstable thanks to fly by wire. If...

Nice hole..... (on a wooden ship. LOL) Mach 0,85,.... peace of a cake for short range artillery.

Only in high G turns. Delta offer higher instantaneous turn rate and lower sustained turn rates. In a M2000 against F16 dog fight, M200 has to take the lead at the beginning (thanks to instantaneous turn rate) if not it is dead. It's not without reasons that Dassault and SAAB decided to use...

I think Zumwalt was far more a Ticonderoga replacement.

Best possible answer :

@Foinikas Don't feed the troll. Our friend @MMM-E say you that even only with a stone turkish army can beat Greece and France together. Let him dream.

I'm 57, so I remember very well the 1986 Farnborough air meeting, where EAP had to give its tour to Rafale because of a failure.... :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo: That means you are an ignorant. Next subject please. It is selled as ITAR Free.

Because politically we didn't , we don't and will will never collaborate with Erdogan's Turkey. You, englishme, only seen profits. You are right : we are far above. No need of uncle Sam to study & built a SSN (without US nuc tech, no reactor for GB SSN), no need of uncle Sam to study & built a...

The main problem of Chinese weapons is that they all are not war proven. How potent are the chinese SD10 and SD15 air missile ? Are they ready to resist to the US vast ectronic counter measures systems ? May be.... or not. China has another weakness : chinese armies are built on the russian...

China is only able to copy and paste on this market. They are not among the 3 best. Probably in the future but not now. For the commercial liners, their last bird is a copy of Airbus A321.... J10 = Lavi x 120% scale. J31 is a twin engine F-35. ORPHEUS is only a paper project so far...

The plane design : it's a mix of GB and german TFX studies. engine used the XG40 study, but not only. It is built by 4 country. EJ200 is only marginally better than SNECMA M53 of Mirage 2000. Same overall design, lighter because younger AND because used in a twin config. EF2000 much more...

No. They gave very detailed informations before the beginning of the war and since. I'm convinced that they have at least a spy among the russian top brass.

A commercial success? YES, as F104 was... Why? Because it is the pizzo USA used to give some country a part of the USA umbrella. The last real technical & commercial huge success of USA is the F16. Not the F35.

No. And we even don't know what is the real usage of J-20. It's only partially a air dominance fighter. It seems to be made to destroy at long range the USAF tankers and awacs. In a air combat against a F22 i give it zero chance. J-31 is for me THE real F-35 : a medium VLO jet, with 2 engines...

What is the latest military engine 100% studied and built by GB ? I think it is the Spey, a 60's engine. Since they were all made with other europeans country. M88 is far younger, 100% french, was at his time the engine with the higher core temperature (1850°K). So UK is no more the 2nd in...
