As I said you are blind and stupid. November 2015 is when French navy tested AESA,.
Go and check the facts and then post something here, dogmatix.,.. behave and stop barking
Stupid yourself.
As usual no proof, no source.
AESA is operationnal on EVERY Rafale until end of 2012. All Rafale delivered until that date are AESA equiped. (except the first 10 'F1' model retrofited to F3 with original PESA antenna)
French air force and french navy used the same radar.

So you are confusing a simple test with with a commissioning. Another kind of bashing.

So it means SPECTRA is not what it is? I mean the Rafale boys are talking of passive detection etc, but if Su-35 opens its Radars at long range, Targets the Rafale and fires its R-77 and then goes passive. what does Rafale do? Just be shot down, what else.

So the point of the article was that SPECTRA is self protection suite and it has big limitations, and Rafale has to depend on Radar and so it cannot be passive. In BVR, Su-35 will detect and fire on Rafale much before Rafale can fire on Su-35, and with the missile heading its way, not much a rafale can do.
If you think it will help you to have a nice day, I say "AMEN". But it's Sci Fi ....:facepalm:

QUIETLY TESTED AESA OVER IRAK ..... it is a simple test.... over a battlefield. To sniff russian radars....

During the period you are talking of, What Russian radars then Iraq does not have Russian radars to talk of.
The only Russian radars are in Syria and the Rafales are keeping well out of Syria..
Like I said, when the Alpha dog is there (Russia) the other dog (France) just rolls over and complies.
BTW if you think combat with IS using airplanes is like "Combat operations" I really wonder what you write if Rafale has to fight a country with capable air power?
