I don't hate the Rafale, I dislike Rafale fan boys.
But we like Rafale fan girls

Your claim is dubious, the Typhoon will detect the presence of emitters at similar ranges as the Rafale or Gripen. DASS has the ability to accurately triangulate the position of an emitter at distances of 100km. The ability to accurately determine the position of an emitter is limited to 100km but it can detect emitters at much greater distances. Locating the exact position of an emitter and detecting the presence of an emitter does not mean the same thing.
And Rafale is given with up to 200Km, not sure how you calculate that, but for me that is more.
Another dubious claim, if the Rafale is not emitting how is it guiding the missile. Missile guidance requires transmissions from the launching or guiding platform, the exception is 'end game' when the missile seeker becomes active. How does the Rafale guide a missile without transmitting guidance data to the missile?
French claims of domination over the EuroFighter at ATLC is unproven, participating RAF pilots continue to honor the agreement to limit training discussions to the debrief - the RAF side of the story is not known, Colonel Grandclaudon claims are controversial and have been challenged by aviation journalist covering the ATLC exercise.
Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)
One of the fundamental sensors available to a modern fighter is its radar. However the use of such a system also puts an aircraft at risk since, as an active system it emits electromagnetic radiation. The DASS is equipped with Radar Warning Receivers (RWRs) designed to detect such emissions. The particular units used are Super Heterodyne (SuperHet) based wide-band receivers and are located in the port side pod (both front and rear) and within the aircraft's fuselage giving full 360° coverage in azimuth (elevation coverage is currently unknown).

ROFL... stupid poll.
EF votes are splitted.. anyway EF seems to be the choice of the most.
I am afraid to what the IAF chief had said a few days back.
All those companies who will loose will complain to the CVC and the entire MMRCA acquisition will be delayed by few months.
And if that happens I will open my own factory and manufacture my own Rafales'
Who knows, wouldn't be the first time that foreign vendors complain about it and the competition had to be scrapped and reoppend, but it's IAF/MoD responsibility to give out clear rules from the start and to disqualify all that don't fulfill them. I bet there will be complains about the delays of the trials and that Saab was able to field the NG 1 month later than planned...
I think that's the 3rd, or 4th poll he starts on MMRCA right? Btw, did you commented on his Rafale ride? L... B... sounded familiar.
Yup i did commented. on that one..
I knew it and x2 that!
The key difference is, that Rafale uses passive detection and localisation sensors, while EF RWR are active:
Eurofighter Technology and Performance : Defences
Regarding ATLC, even RAF pilots admits that they were shot down, but says that these encounters happend before the initial exercise and that there were kills on both sides. However, my point was only that Rafale has proven this capability and not only in A2A, but also in A2G by detecting ground radars and guiding AASM via Spectra]. EF neither has this capability, nor the weapons to do the same yet. Actually that are the fields where it lacks behin the most, weapon integration and tech upgrades and so far it is still unclear what capabilities the T3 will have.
