Which is Better? Eurofighter Typhoon VS Dassault Rafale

[knight11]

In other parameters EF may be a little ahead but so far as EW is concern, no plane in world can come anywhere close to Rafale. Spectra is a class apart and ahead of all. fuel efficiency figures in the comparison are wrong. There can not be a 2 and half fold difference in fuel efficiency.

What makes you think that french came with the SPECTRA surpassing the US and its importance and effectiveness is yet to be seen against better enemy that libiyan and afghan airforce and air defence. The Lights of Rafale is not the plane but the French airforce which devised Doctrines and tactics around Spectra in so many years. it is the Iaf which make MKI the MKI from su 27

@blue marlin come with a better thread we are wasting our time and energy here.

There is no point of this comparison and panelist with less knowledge.

What are you expecting any RESULT

but here we are talking about rafale and typhoon both of which are not something PAF can offord so lets not talk about PAF

thing is we both were offrred to india and both were the best options but both are very expensive too hence india scaled down its requirement and opted for putting the ammount it kept for rafales for R&D of LCA & AMCA programme and russian 5th gen fighter

now even after the india went for 36 rafales makers of typhoon and grippen are sensing a kill here and both have gone extra aggressive in sweetning the deal for IAF


but rafale deal is still on and at least IAF will settle for 4 squads of rafale rest will me LCA and FGFA till AMCA & AURA come of age

i was told the rafale deal was to be done in blocks as it would be no point iaf inducting only 36. so i would forsee future orders but when your budget is large enough or when you get a better deal.

Why not prefer F-15E saves so much time,brain and energy

no. the f15 is good but it done not have the agility of the the eft or the rafale

because both planes are similar it is harder to identify which is best. i wanted you to decide based on your preferences. most of the info is not publicly available and is only available to potential customers, share holders and those who need to know at the company providing the equipment.

what new thread name would you recommend? i may merge @knight11

its not about budget really its about timming which was messed up by the last goverment else we would have at least 2 squads of rafale flying in IAF colours by now

thing is rafale is no dought great but with same or little over we can have a FGFA so why waste money on 4.5+ gen fighter when you can have a 5th gen fighter for almost the same ammount .... rest u can speculate yourself no harm in it carry on matey

Because the OP of this thread asked a question which was "Which is Better? Eurofighter Typhoon VS
Dassault Rafale"...
"And Probably You Could Ask Such A Stupid Question.Thank You"

36 Rafale was order in fly away condition to free some pressure of depleting squadron number in IAF and to give time for the Dassault to identify its local vendors and local manufacturer for manufacture the remaining fighters. Now some people here bragging about the Dassault don't want to give any warranty for plane manufactured by HAL is actually attempt to denying some critical and advance Reviting and Welding technique only which Hal have to absorb with the tools and testing equipments.

2. Point
I was referring to the other poster

3. Point
Every fighter planes has its pros and cons. I am not the correct Judge to declare the result.
But if ask me with respect to IAF than Rafale is my choice and give you more reasons supporting it.
Make thread like comparing both the planes in some conditions like say both the planes which will be best in Indo-China conflict. Or something like is F16 block 70 offered to india was the best F16 plane ever.

I am not an expert but share what I think is the correct

No Hard feeling Sir,
Sorry if I hurt your feelings

Just pointing out that F-15E is more economically better in providing the same advantage but no further development puts its out of the race.

i talked about the rafale in the thread earlier if you read it it sort of conveys what you are trying to say with in regards to but only 36 for now. and more later.

i know your not some iaf officer or an expert we are merely having a debate on which is best. and know its a bit hard but nothing is ever easy and i like a challenge.
also the f16 proposal to india was similar to the specs of the UAE air force f16 and that would be block 60 not 70

Well you are the Boss. !!

I am not an IAF Officer True

I am just a MECHANIC

 

[JonAsad]

Ok there are many people out there who think the Eurofighter Typhoon is better than the Dassault Rafale. Some would disagree.

Here are some specs to each aircraft and I shall let you decide which Is better.

i can't believe after beating Rafael in every expect apart from cannon Rafael scored 50 while Typhoon scored 41-

bharti stupid logic-

never said i was a boss.
so are you actually an iaf mechanic? if so which base do you work at?

i am defence and politics researcher specialising in Asia, more specifically south Asia. hoping to be an analyst.

that is in dog fight config. no weapons load just cannon only. because the rafale is slightly smaller and its canards are closer to the main wings it can turn quite well. but remember that eft is only the tranche 1 the tranche 3 has better dog fighting capabilities with enhancement and tv(upon customer request not in service )

No hard feeling here too...
We could disscuss on F-15 but it would be an off the thread topic...But Agreed.

 

[Super Falcon]

Both are equal match but EF has slight edge only slight

 

[500]

air to air Typhoon is better (bigger radar, more TWR).
air to ground Rafale is better (more fuel, better down visibility).

EFT is FAR superior than Rafale, if your purpose is Air Defense. If you want a ground attack jet.....well why pay $ 75 million for Rafale. Just buy Tornados, even used or other jets from Russia or A-10's. They are come upgraded with avionics up to or close to Rafale.
I'd by EFT all week if I was a country looking into EFT vs. Rafale. EFT has much better avionics as well and the weapons it can carry include weapons built by the French, the UK, the US, etc.

your pricing for the rafale is wrong it $95 million each and the eft is significantly more than that. i agree, i would buy the eft over the rafale too.

 

[Malik Alashter]

Rafale and Typhoon both are equal technology but Rafale is the real multi-rule fighter of the two.

But again are they both any better than the F-16 I doubt it.

So do you think the EFT has better ES than the SPECTRA.
