I've read that ignorant part from an ignorant politician. Dassault DO NOT build any GaN modules. A joint venture from Thalès and Airbus aerospace and defence ccalled UMS do.
ToT cannot be priceless. Free access to technology and documents is one thing, implementing processes and industrialze them is another thing.
Anw, none of us do know the real amount of the deal, and what will be included in.
Considering the extent of new MELBAA study plan for example, i'd say...
i hope i didn't make too many errors? If so please quote them to me!

Well, i just can't say too much, but Talios sensor has nothing to do in terms of definition (and optical zoom) with Pirate. Still, an IR channel on OSF NG would be nice and is lacking.Atm operationals would prefer 6 AASM 125 for a simple reason : the system is combat proven (and so good that...
in fact, Talios pod will give powerful IRST... About the lack of low collateral damga weapon, you are right, but the definition phase was "near complete" in june. We will see.
I think you will see the next stadard, aka F3-R.
@sancho i joined Scorpion, and even thanked him in the first article ;).
Very soon we are going to switch from a blog to a real website, and we will make an international version. All articles won't be translated, but most important will.

PS...
SDB and SPEAR have lighter explosive charge. They should better be compared to AASM 125. Remember Sancho, AASM is evolving towards a GPS/INS/IR/laser version. and it can be shot to any direction (which is not true for gliding bombs).
Thx Dr and Sancho, read your comments. Generally speaking, we...
Sancho, here is part 2 article about Typhoon

Thalès picture about Talios pod. Interstin features like laser 3D imagery etc.
Pilot will be able to read images and superimpose them to maps while the po will keep acquiring.
Capability to detect human movements
AND long range identification and tracking of planes.
I will definitely change the first part if i write an "international version" ;)
About Qatar, no clue, sorry. There were persistent rumours recently about Egypt btw... But thses are just rumours.
Marte is scheduled for P3E. But Brimstone 2 slipped to P2Eb afaik. Thanx for help. Did you read the first part of the article in our blog?
If you did could you borowse it and say if it deserves the heavy work to make an english version?
You'll be interested in that news anw... (about FCAS)

You don't get the point. i don't like to enter those dick size contests, but atm yes, Rafale is a superior plane to MKI. Mostly because of its avionics integration which is a generation ahead. Also because its RCS is orders of magnitude lower. Nuke delivery ready. Follow ground dual mode...
TY Sancho, i'm in contact with Scorpion and his explanations help a lot. but SRP14 Step1 is sensed to be P2Ea, and Step2 PE2b. Maybe they switched Meteor integration from P2Eb to P2Ea, or the capability will be tested before but the induction in forces will go with P2Eb
They didn't really smile about Brazil tbh. About Qatar, yes i hoped so but not them (i'm not on a daily schedule contact with them).
About Ef upgrades, P1Eb was scheduled this year and well happens in time. Good. Writing a story atm about Ef program btw ;).
But i do have probs in finalizing it...
