But - are the SCALP missile GPS locked so that they can never be fired at targets in Israel ? Was Israel provided self-destruct codes for these missiles to allow them to remotely destroy them if they cross into Israel ?
"GPS locked?" Is that a term you just came up with? In order to do that, if it's even possible, you have to have all the information from not only the GPS components in the SCALPs, you have to have access to which ever satellite is being used (impossible to do) with these PLUS, there are other ways to fire them onto target that are a little bit harder without using GPS signaling. So not sure where you got that idea from that they can do that, can you provide a source?
What are the software codes PK values for meteor missiles sold to the Egyptian airforce compared to those sold to France or UK? Have they tuned down the PK of these export variants?
PK values for the Meteor missile is a standard number that doesn't change. Another one of those made-up shakbigaboulis you just came up with?
When we test a missile or two at the advertised ranges and at capable targets and find out its performance has been compromised, do you realize how much trouble France is in? We'll get into that when we talk about Saudi Arabia's Meteors.
Has Israel been given the jamming codes for the Meteor missiles?
That's the stuff of movies, man. Besides, here's something that you probably don't know - Saudi Arabia just bought 20 missiles only because they wanted to find out if they are truly as good as advertised and they're hiring the best of the best to sift through them (most likely German and Italian engineers from what I hears) and see if there has been and doodoo diddiling done to them or are they the full gammet Meteors before they go ahead and purchase a large batch. And you're aware of with Saudiya whish will share all its findings with Egypt as the latter does its own investigation.
Reminds me of that silly kill switch some goofball came out with and when I asked a former F-15 pilot if there was any truth to that, he laughed and said "no way" and he elaborated that if that ever happens, and somehow the us pushes some magical button and causes an Egyptian F-16 to nosedive into the ground and lt's later found out that this would happen to several or many jets since there won't be just one attacking, and all this news comes out, the US will be eaten alive by the international community and NO ONE will ever buy a single export model from the US. Think of the consequences of such phantom foolishness.
Are the Rafales embedded with Tracking devices that allow for these Rafales to be monitored by Israel at all times when they are flying.
Tracking devices are easy to find if there is any truth to that with all the new anti tracking technology out there that you would hardly need to look far to find them. What is this, Lojak car theft device LOL. Come on, man, give us a little more credit than that. Look at how huge the antennas have to be on even Pakistani Rose Mirages to send whatever signal they need to send with it and you think a device that cant be obviously noticed is going to be instilled on our aircraft that can be detected at 800 km and 35,000 feet. You guys playing too many video games lol.
Are the IFF systems modified so that they forced respond to IFF challenges with the speed, height and GPS co-ordinates of the Rafale when sent IFF challenge messages by Israeli radar systems?
Israeli is the least of our concern. The last time we fought them we gave them a spanking they'll never want to see again so they want this peace to last and that's why they fought to stop the sale of this missile along with the US and in record time a deal was struck and your telling me they compromised the missiles. Come on, man, again, I think you just watched that movie "The International" lol
We have our own, newly developed data sharing system that includes IFF signaling off the RDE2 AESA radar that changes frequencies very fast and is impossible to jam or locate. It's ok, people can think the EGY army is dumb because that actually works to our advantage.
Will the Rafakes send GPS pings to Israeli systems if the GPS co-ordinates indicate they are in Israeli airspace?
[/QUOTe/]
Nope, only to radars and SPECTRA will make a mess of that. That's one of the many beauties of the Rafale. Spectra EW and fusion cockpit will create havoc to any enemy except the French and other Rafale users.

(yes - nice shiny toy - but given the vast number of emitters and receivers on modern planes and the associated systems which now are so software driven and so sophisticated and complicated - that being sure those back-doors dont exist is now impossible ).
Just asking
.....
No it isn't. It's the opposite as the speed of changing frequencies and secured data sharing makes it much harder. This is not like me or you hacking each other's computers.
