  1. En 2001 la hausse du poids ? J'ai un gros doute, je voyais plutot fin 2002.

    Non non non.

    Il y a eu plusieurs évolution.

    Empty weight: 9,750 kg --> 9,999 kg --> 10,995 ~ 11,150 kg

    Internal fuel: 4,000 kg --> 4,500 kg --> 4,600 ~ 4,996 kg

    External loading: 4,500 kg --> 6,500 kg --> 7,500 ~ 8,000 kg

    C'est ça la réalité.

    Si tu penses à 2002 c'est peut-être par rapport à la production ? En tout cas, ca me fait bien marré quand on nous dit que les proto étaient plus lourds que ceux de séries... :lol:

    un truc me parait curieux, c'est la différence entre persistence BVR et WVR qui est égale en WVR mais meilleure en BVR ainsi que le rayon de virage soutenu qui serait égal pour les deux avions en WVR mais meilleuren BVR pour l'EF?

    De plus on remarquera que d'après les auteurs ils sont tous les deux classés dans la 4ème génération :twisted:

    Pour les qualités BVR et WVR : il faut prendre en compte qu'en BVR, on suppose que les avions volent en supersonique pour lancer les missiles avec un max d'énergie. Ha ha ha ! Donc, c'est pas le même régime de vol qu'en WVR subsonic, donc des perfs différentes. Reste à voir :lol:

    Quand à la 4e génération, c'est à ne rien y comprendre, les définitions varient en fonction des pays.

  2. NungesserC, quoique tu dises, en fait, cette doc annonçait déjà le poids du Tpyhoon à 11,150kg. Tu vois ? Le poids de 9700, je ne le vois plus annoncé depuis 98, même si plein de sites à deux balles ont répercuté ce chiffre pendant longtemps. Bref, en 2001, c'était connu que l'avion pesait 11150kg. ;)

  3. C'est du Rafale vs Typhoon de base.

    C'est un tout petit peu vieux (2001) mais ça me donne toujours à réfléchir.

    Je peux me tromper, mais il me semble qu'ils avaient fait là une comparaison directe à notre Rafale (en gris). Je suis curieux de voir comment ils définissent la plupart des termes employés mais bon...

    Ils sont forts ces anglais.

    Bon, s'il y en a qui veulent réagir, vous gênez pas... (même Rob) ;)

  4. La liaison avion-missile étant prise en charge par l'avion situé à distance de sécurité (hors de portée), le tireur peut dégager librement après le tir. Un AWACS multiplie les solutions tactiques en libérant un Rafale de son rôle d'éclaireur et en fournissant une couverture sur 360°.

    C'est pas qu'avec mes modestes connaissances j'ai quelque chose à contester... Juste une question : un AWACS voit son antenne faire 6 tours par minute. C'est pas un peu long comme rafraichissement (10 secondes) pour guider un missile via la L16 ?

    Terminé.

    le Beyond visual range est un concept a la con des année 80 pour faire vendre des missles au congré americain dans le cas d'une attaque massive du pact of evil!

    aucun chaseur est assé con pour attaquer des avions modernes en BVR, ou avec des links 16 ou le MIDS, qui sont des instruments de defence, et pas de BVR!

    Comprends pas... Je croyais que le problème du BVR, c'était simplement qu'on a jamais eu de moyen fiable d'identifier à coup sûr la cible sur laquelle on tire... Ce qui est résolu grâce à l'OSF par exemple... Mais sinon, c'est quand même une bonne idée de tirer du plus loin possible, non ? :rolleyes:
  5. Justement, tout le monde n'est pas d'accord. T'as déjà bu le champagne toi ? :lol: Kovy nous a fourni un texte respectable comme quoi non, l'AESA attendrait le F4 2012... Après, on a spéculé. Et cet article va dans la direction qui me plait (celle du super Rafale vachement en avance et qui casse tout). :lol: Dans la foulée, il devrait réduire encore la commande pour assurer un OSF mk3 (avec surveillance 360°), puis encore réduire pour mettre le M88-5 (celui qui pousse 140kN sans PC) et là... LA ! Ca serait la mort directe du F-35 et l'arrêt immédiat du Typhoon... Bon, je crois qu'on m'appelle là... :arrow:

  6. Ouai, bon,

    sinon, ça ? Ca fait tiquer personne ?

    order for 59 Rafales [...] likely to be reduced to 51 aircraft [...] the French MoD said[...]that "this could allow for the introduction of new sensors developed by the French industry on this batch.

    Moi, ça me pique les yeux...
  7. :lol: :lol: :lol: PPfffffff.... Ca c'est pas très gentil ce que t'as fait dans le WAFF... Comme si c'était la descente qui avait tout cassé !!! :lol: Sur le WAFF, yen a pas un pour rattraper l'autre... :)

  8. Je vois pas du tout pourquoi la reine devrait avoir honte. Elle devrait être honnorée de voir que ses soldats sont des gens plein d'humour et qui savent si bien apprécier la vie... :lol: Non mais c'est vrai, faut s'amuser mince ! :lol: Et puis, c'est toujours mieux ça qu'une certaine N. qui fait un clip sur le Jeanne-d-Arc. :rolleyes:

  9. Oui, je sais que leur charge militaire est conventionnel, mais il aurait du évoqué les AASM. Je crois que le Scalp est utilisé pour des cibles stratégiques. Mais c'est jamais quand il faut que j'ai les documents que je veux sous les yeux. :lol:

  10. AAAAaaaah ! Notre cher Jean-Michel est peut-être simplement un défaitiste... :lol: Pas mal le secrétaire générale de l'association des journalistes de défense. En tout cas, il a commis une boulette : je vois pas trop le Scalp être employé pour l'assault conventionnel... Je pensais plutôt que ça serait pour certaines missions d'ordre stratégique. :rolleyes:

  11. Rafale's Export Prospects Gloomy

    by Jean-Michel Guhl

    Feb. 2, 2006

    edefenseonline.com

    With a grand total of 294 aircraft (234 for the French Air Force and 60 for the French Navy) needed to meet current French requirements for the Rafale, and with no export hopes in view, orders for this potent multirole fighter-bomber will have to rely essentially on governmental support at a time when France's finances are burdened by a rising national debt, according to the French Ministry of Defense (MoD).

    So far, though, only 120 Rafales have been officially ordered in three separate batches, the most recent being a December 2004 order for 59 Rafales, but even this figure is currently under study and is likely to be reduced to 51 aircraft "for the same overall cost" the French MoD said, adding that "this could allow for the introduction of new sensors developed by the French industry on this batch.

    With no export orders for the Rafale expected in the near future, the fighter program will be forced to rely solely on funding by the French government.Dassault

    The Rafale today exists in two versions:

    • F1 for air-to-air missions, 10 of which were built for the Aéronavale, but it is no longer in production;

    • F2, the first true multirole version for both the French Armée de l'Air (Air Force) and Aéronavale (Naval Aviation), production of which is now in full swing.

    A third version, the F3 or "omnirole version," should appear around 2008-2010. It is expected to be able to accomplish a variety of missions: air superiority with the MBDA Mica missile, nuclear strike with the MBDA ASMP-A cruise missile , conventional strike with the MBDA Scalp EG/Storm Shadow cruise missile and various precision-guided munitions such as guided bombs, and tactical reconnaissance with the Thales Reco NG digital photography pod.

    Although the Rafale is regarded as a very capable fighter plane , production of the aircraft has been rather slow due to limited government funding, which doesn't make the Rafale very appealing on the export market. So far only nine Rafale Ms have been delivered to the Aéronavale for operations from the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle , with the remaining aircraft being used for testing. On the Armée de l'Air side, the first Rafale squadron isn't due to be formed until this coming summer with a nucleus of eight or 10 Rafale F2s (a mix of Rafale C single-seaters and Rafale B two-seaters), with operational status slated for mid-2007 at Saint-Dizier AB, at which time squadron EC 1/7 will have some 20 Rafales.

    Meanwhile, the Armée de l'Air is going forward with the operational testing of the first production Rafale F2s – the first true fighter-bomber version of this aircraft – at Mont-de-Marsan with some eight aircraft used by squadron EC 5/330 of the Centre d'Expérimentation Aériennes Militaires (CEAM). Four more aircraft are expected to be delivered before this fall. Over 2,500 flight hours have been logged so far by the pilots of EC 5/330 in the evaluation of the aircraft. Today, the stress is put on the development of the aircraft's passive tracking system, the Optique Secteur Frontal (OSF) designed by Thales and SAGEM, and on the MIDS digital datalink developed by the Euro-MIDS consortium. Such a level of datalink integration has never before existed in the Armée de l'Air, and it is said that, thanks to the teaming with the Link 16-equipped E-3F French AWACS, the Rafale F2 is now capable of a 360º detection capability, which allows for new innovations in aerial combat. Evaluations are said to have shown that two flights of two Rafale F2s each, controlled by a single E-3F AWACS using Link 16, can achieve total air superiority over a theater the size of France, with full all-around vision. "It's really like having an extra pair of eyes in our back," said a Rafale F2 pilot from Mont-de-Marsan in an interview. Once the MBDA beyond-visual-range (BVR) Meteor air-to-air missile enters service in 2012, this air superiority will be further increased dramatically. Meanwhile, the Rafale pilots are also evaluating at Mont-de-Marsan both the MBDA Mica IR and Mica EM missiles.

    Will the number of Rafales ordered by France stay at 120 or be reduced to 112 in the coming months? Right now, it appears quite possible, and further cuts could be in store as France struggles to pay for other major military programs. Dassult

    On the Aéronavale side, Rafale deliveries are almost at a standstill. Initially slated for the begining of 2006, the delivery of the first batch of Rafale M/F2 will be delayed until next year. An additional 15 Rafale M/F2s are currently on Dassault's order book. These aircraft should be instrumental in forming the first strike "flottille" of the Aéronavale in 2007 or 2008. Nowadays, though, the fighter-bomber mission of the Charles de Gaulle's carrier air group still relies completely on about two dozen modernized Super-Étendards, capable of conventional strike, as well as reconnaissance and nuclear strike with the ASMP cruise missile fitted with a 300-kt warhead. Although over 20 years old, these veterans still perform very well, thanks to the addition of an improved electronic-countermeasures (ECM) suite and the Thales Damoclès all-weather targeting pod, the latter of which was introduced during 2004.

    On Dec. 8, 2005, during a meeting in Paris of France's ruling UMP ruling party, Defense Minister Michèle Alliot-Marie said that the "high price tag of the Rafale" did not help her in "promoting the sale of the fighter on the export market and, thus, alleviate the overall bill on the French taxpayer." With a list price given at some $66.5 million for the basic "naked" aircraft and almost $145 million with its complete set of sensors and weapons, the Rafale indeed is a very expensive aircraft. Because of this high unit cost, export windows for the Rafale seem to close one after the other. Recently, the Rafale has lost twice to Boeing's F-15 Strike Eagle -- in competition in South Korea and Singapore . More recently, pitted against the MiG-29 in Algeria, the Rafale was not selected because of its cost. Vietnam has also shown interest recently in the Rafale, but how can such a relatively poor country afford to acquire even a single Rafale? Moreover, hopes of selling a batch of Rafales to Saudi Arabia have all but vanished after a very aggressive offer of the Eurofighter Typhoon

    Moreover, looking ahead to the upcoming presidential elections of May 2007, which will see Predident Jacques Chirac's term come to an end, all likely successors, faced with serious social issues, will almost certainly, out of sheer necessity and simply political opportunity, have no hesitation at all in cutting in or postponing further Rafale funding. and turn to more pressing needs, such as the EADS A400M tactical transport, which is eagerly awaited by the Armée de l'Air to restore its rapidly deteriorating strategic airlift capacity. In addition, more money will have to be found to pay for its second aircraft carrier and a variety of other naval acquisitions.

    With more desires than its small wallet can afford, France, it seems, will keep on dreaming about a rosy defense future until reality catches up with her – a gloomy prospect for Dassault Aviation, Thales, Snecma, Sagem, and MBDA, the key contractors on the Rafale program.
