According to wiki it is twice as big, according to several other sources it is very low and that's why the Rafale is hard to detect. Regarding the canards, as I showed it depends on what the aim was! More slow speed maneuverability and better use at twin seat and carrier fighters, then the close coupled canards are more effective. More high speed maneuverability, then the EF might have some advantages.
so are we looking for naval fighters or air force fighters and my dear friend slow speed maneuverability is possible and is now big deal and maneuverability is vital in dog fights and can u please tell me the radar range of the current radars installed because i think eurofighter has much better bvr range and please don't say that it meteor and other things u know if the range is there then maneuverability is required i will be posting the bvr ranges of both don't worry
I guess you meant A2G operation right?
- passive detection features
- EM and IR missiles for BVR
- AESA jamming
- more sensors especially the TV channel for long range visual identification
- SEAD capability
- carrier capability
- nuclear capability
All advantages that the EF can't offer, or not anytime soon!
