Not true, F-18's existing AESA is perhaps one of the best operational combat proven AESA's in the world and has a good range advantage over te RBE2. Flight performance of SH is fine, sure Rafale does turn and climb tighter but it will first have to outrun the Aim-120D which will be shot at it...

Sorry buddy, Growlers or vanialla Block 2 SHs aren't easy to fuck with on any day, regardless of what clever jamming Rafale brings to the table. Moreso, years of operating the SH at high tempo means highly capable pilots with countless hours in experience with cleverly honed tactics. Good luck...

F3R is virtually similar to the SH, there are no significant combat advantages that either brings over the other, in the end it comes to pilot skills. Second any US Carrier carries many many more aircraft which is still something that is hard for CdG to overcome.

Sad, was in Goa till Friday last week, even saw over a dozen of these parked out. A couple buzzed by the holiday home we have there. Hopefully it can be fixed asap.
