One of your honnest President said there were mass destruction weapons in Irak. There was not. And France didn't accept to follow you, unlike GB for exemple.... So keep your lessons for newbies.

End of M2000 line : 2007. At those time the RBE2 was a PESA one. AESA arrived operationnaly in 2013, and wasn't study at all for M2000. In case of a french request, or a strong and real interest from Dassault customers an AESA radar may have been produced for M2000, but it was not the case...

Same history for Rafale deal.... As an american, the sole acceptable deal is inked by a US company....

Another lighter or stranger radar may have been installed. RBE2 is in the same class weight than RDY. But its center of gravity is different because a "hole" had been created to host the OSF... This is why the RBE2 on Mirage is not a good solution because it affects the GofG of the bird...

So why ordering a so costly (according to some Indian forumers) Mirage deal ?

Or not. The track record of HAL can't give you too much confidence.

Tejas development was halted because of Kaveri issue. 126 M2000 on the Indian Dassault line would have been produced between 2008-2014. little hurt with a slow moving Tejas program.

1) M2000 is flying, and flying intensively. Tejas .... ??? 2) No one forced India to ink the deal.

It was and it is possible to put an AESA radar in the nose cone of M2000. It's only a choice (choice not made by the frecnh army because all funds put on Rafale). MICA is a true BVR missile : a Taiwanese M2000 destroyed a target at 67km in the 90's, and MICA NG will be fully compatible with all...

Bad choice !

Not really. Just imagine the IAF now with 126 more M2000 built in India 15 years ago ? We are in 2023 and how many Tejas are war ready ? for too few. With the production line, It would have been possible to purchase also the intellectual rights of M2000 and M53 engine... And why not imagine a...

Maybe, but not a single chinese weapon is combat proven.

Some are to be sold to Egypt and Morocco...

We have absolutely no serious data about the chinese J10 radar and about the chinese air to air missile. As the chinese weapons and radar are of russian origins, as we can see in Ukraine, I think it's not the time to be afraid.

no AESA and no Spectra on french M2000. The M2000-5F will end their service life in the coming years. Remain the latest M2000D : used only for CAS and some improbable peace time air defense alerts, so no need of improved radar, just MICA IR with the long range seeker. Even the electronic...

Probably 2 answers : 1) it's more than probable that -9 was funded by UAE, so it was unable to export them to other customer without their agreement. 2) The -9 radar was no more in production (latest item of RDY-2, with bigger antenna). Instead they used the RC400, also called RDY-3, in the...

The -9 radar has a bigger antenna if I remember well. It has the longer range radar of the type. Computing power : -9 use the modular computing system of the Rafale. It was even installed on -9 before Rafale. ESM : I don't know much more, but it was also the better system available of the...

YES. more powerfull radar, more potent electronic support system, some computing power from Rafale.

The electronic support system is different. I think the radar also differ : RDY-2 vs RDY-3. The M2000-9 is known to be the most potent variant of all M2000.
