Yeah.
Does Scalp still using US components now?
Does US okay with us having cruise missile capability?
If yes, we actually could give them some pressure with that Eagle procurement.
...or maybe we just don't have enough money yet.
No Scalp yet huh?
What we got for Rafale: Mica (both variant), Meteor, Exocet.
Well for now that KHAN is enough for deterrent. Be grateful with what you got, I guess 😒
No. Rafale has weaker engine, slower, and cannot climb as high, although Rafale can carry more fuel hence better range.
Rafale's philosophy is true multirole platform eventhough that meant sacrificing some aspects of its performance.
