@Sancho..

One positive point about RAFALE is that we can hardwire them for special purposes and France wont wake much hue cry..
Lets hope we get a good package deal..

just havea look with being bias and u will fell some thing for sure

Rafale also has a sawtooth design feature all over the airframe and even in the air intakes.

All stealth fighters begining with the F117 used similar sawtooth design features with the same aim of scattering the radar waves and to reduce the RCS as well:

Both uses high ammounts of composite and RAM materials, also use similar RCS reduction features. Which makes clear that both should have very low RCS, but I don't want to speculate which one is lower.
Sancho I am calling you out Troll..:disagree:

show me something simmilar to this in Rafale


I doubt you´ll find a picture of Sawtoothed Rafale Parts :disagree:

Look at the size of Su-30.. Su-30 Rcs would be 60% more than Rafale

Rafale is small compared to Su-30 and will have very less RCS when compared to SU-30
But Su-30 can carry more weapon load and highy manevourable

You are looking fighters at clean configuration... In war scenario it is not the case dude.... you need to count RCS with external loading... so what you can say?? Rafale or EFT will not have 5 m2 alteast???... it is enough for MKI to detect at 150-200 KM of distance away...

all 4.75 gen doesnt make sense unless it is a VLO.... others are not game changers... w.r.t MKI

Am not good at aircraft science
can u tell me wat is VLO??

I am assuming what ever fighter we pick, it will certainly help to shape teja mk2 fighter jet, using they technology ...

The aesa tech that we get from ToT will be used in developing Aesa radar for Tejas Mk.2 :D
