How come you are sure that they won't .
Most of the partners dont want AESA but still under pressure for exports AESA is being developed .
Simple thing that Tech is developed and Tested , if India wants it can be integrated .
To quote from your post only .
So does other MRCA jet , no...
Correction for my previous posts , where I claimed MICA lacks FPA seeker .
Sancho , you and me both were wrong .
Latest build seeker in MICA have that technology .(ref pic attch below)
I apologize for putting up wrong argument based on two year old brochure .
My bad should have checked...
Yes , lets compare F18 + Mig35 with rafale
F18+F16 detection range for Rafale(Fully armed rafale) at 120 kms . Coupled with wedgetail AWACS at 150 kms
Immediate engagement and shot fired with AIM120 ( 100+ )
For rafale -
One - Don't tell me Rafale has better radar than F18 ,
Two - Even if...
First - the active cancellation is dream-land just like Plasma-Stealth
You know why - ? ?
check this Gambit's post - http://www.defence.pk/forums/military-forum/53000-what-wrong-rafale-2.html#post778438

This thing must top the priority list .
SLBM is most effective deterrence , need to have it ASAP .
Personally , i want to replace my desktop wallpaper of Torpedo on INS sindhuraj with Arihant having Sagarika .
Yes , it does lack .
There is no plan to integrate DIRCM on F3 for AdA .
Eurofighter and F18 have this thing already .
If at all Thales makes it available to India so is the case with PIMAWS ( if anything Euro partners won't buy PIMAWS , Germany + India can )
By the way do you know how...
Jha , have you seen these below pics before released by ADE and DRDO
The second pic is interesting , don't go by pictures of X47 as Aura or F18 as LCA .
Concept is impressive
3 different types of UCAV -
one for SEAD+
one for Bombing+
one for combat and Escort...
Vikramaditya Combat Management System (VCMS)
I was reading about AEGIS combat weapon system of US navy for last 2 days , when I came across its Russian Equivalent .
Thought of Sharing it with you , if posted before plz ignore it .
Above is the layout of The 'Lesorub-E' CMS (E stands for...
Let's see
-This NG-DDM having 2 IR imaging sensor are part of MAWS ???? right
-Program of DDM-NG started in 2007 and has gone just one set of trials.?? This will become certified for operation only in 2012 not before , ??
-It lacks DIRCM and there are no plans in France as yet to fit Rafale...
I would say very thoughtful analysis .
I have read it twice - simply loved those reasons to reject US hardware , and Gripen being inferior of all .
:toast_sign:
I would say since SPECTRA vs EO-DASS has been started in MRCA
Your insight will be highly appreciated . :tup:
One more favour - I remember you wrote somewhere
" F22 and F35 2nd gen AESA radar field Ga-Ni chip"
and you posted these below pics
Would like the links to those original...
Really , and how abt this statement below
Where did I claim only US has such Tech . ??
My previous post still lie un-edited would love to be located where I claimed that
On the contrary you tried to put words into my mouth -
While I only stated facts , whether you accept it or not...
Great , after Kalaikunda the Gwalior base is the most advanced air-base and has the best integrated ADS in India .
Biggest advantage is all will be linked to Phalcon operating from Agra aerospace .
So much talk of systems being internal mounted and integrated . And we come down to Damocles + Aeros
Is Damocles+Aeros part of rafale airframe - no
Is it part of Spectra/OSF - no
Will it be offered free of cost with every rafale - no
Does F35 need targeting pod like Damocles - no it has...
About Euro-Dass
Being not internal , Dosen't mean that its not integrated ,
internal or external dosen't matters till integration is being compromised. Even Rafale has conformal antennae's outside .
+plus quote from BR monitor - " Jamming pods are (by contrast to internal ECM) more effective...
