Is not clear, what about a Indian source....
They speak for 130 km or 80 miles

Rafale to give Indian Air Force edge over Pakistan

Although relatively small compared to its competitors like the Eurofighter Typhoon and F-22 Raptor, the French war bird Rafale packs a powerful punch.

Greek Air Force blesses French-made Dassault Rafale aircraft and pilots

These are the people talking about that turkey is not secular at least we don't bring imams to our ships or planes @Ryder

 

[Oublious]

LoL

Qatar have the same fighter, we al ready now it .

@Manomed

Truth to be told though, we wouldnt allow an atheist prime minister like their ex-prime minister.

We are institutionally more secular than Greece but we are far behind mentality wise. I think mentality is way more important considering the key point is to stop politicians using religion. That doesnt happen in Greece, it does happen in Turkey.

Greece has a state religion. Tell me where does it fit if you are talking about being secular?

 

[Atlas]

LoL

Qatar have the same fighter, we al ready now it .

Yeah, doesn't change anything at all.

I understand your reaction, I do not judge it negatively, you are just a Turk living in another culture.
It is difficult for someone who walks on smooth ground to realize through blinders that fighters pilots around the world are another paste.

GREAT NEWS!!!
One year earlier than originally planned, in 2024 and not in 2025, the receipt of all 24 Rafale fighter jets will be completed, as announced from the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis from Tanagra during the acceptance ceremony of the first six Rafale from France.

Νωρίτερα θα ολοκληρωθεί η παραλαβή των 24 Rafale έκανε γνωστό ο Μητσοτάκης | ΤΑ ΝΕΑ

Εναν χρόνο νωρίτερα από τον αρχικό προγραμματισμό, το 2024 και όχι το 2025 θα ολοκληρωθεί η παραλαβή και των 24 μαχητικών αεροσκαφών Rafale ανακοίνωσε ο πρωθυπουργός Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης από την Τανάγρα κατά την τελετή παραλαβής των πρώτων έξι Rafale από τη Γαλλία

“ No it doesn’t count, anything could change mid flight and the deal can be cancelled so you can’t use Rafale as an argument in Air Supremacy against my argument of the delayed Turkish theoretical prototype project that is being pushed back to 202X that will wipe both French And U.S Systems.”

Let's get back to the topic by ignoring the spamming......
Some infograms as regards the armament......

Greek PM Mitsotakis:This is the next generation of aircraft, for a future vision of European Defence, and a new chapter in Greece’s regional capability. Thanks to my friend @EmmanuelMacron for helping me strengthen our strategic partnership.

French President Macron:Thank you dear Kyriákos for this confidence in France and its flagship aeronautics, in the Europe of defense that we are building.

Are you sure about this, that is, the Qatari Rafale has the same sensors as the Greek one?
Of course, I do not forget two more variables that are the human factor as well as the training, ie the Greek pilot.
Dont forget that France offers and gave to Greece weapons systems that other allied countries do not offer.

They are trained just like you Its a new jet both of the countries are using it newly also the qatari one has the everything HAF one has they paid a great amount of money. muh pilots qataris got them earlier they have better training against other jets because of the exercises they joined.

France offered everything to the qataris as well don't cope

I would like to see some rafale on board video chasing f16. We do not really know how they compare to each other since there is nothing shared from anatolian eagle. I am sure Greeks would be eager to demonstrate superiority of rafales against f16s.
