Sorry mado I don't see they offer us F35, just the "F16v is the right track to get F35 in the future" all over again.
They maybe can kill Boeing offer but not dassault.
"Di masa depan".
They have to put them both together at the same time! Duduk Viper e saiki, lightning ee engkok!
And how about their weaponry?
Long range cruise missile?
Can rafale use AMRAAM or able to integrate that new turkish BVRAAM?
I think rely only on Meteor for BVR aspects is too expensive and risky for us (many people said boron based fuel in Meteor has short lifespan)
For me rafale plus are:
- NATO standard, Link 16.
- better design (delta canard configuration is aerodynamically better)
- Newer design, has more future.
- huge range of weaponry.
- good range. (Rafale with 3 drop tank has better range than Flanker)
- Spectra! Scalp-eg! Capability to do...
