Rafale RCS is not so low More at source https://basicsaboutaerodynamicsandavionics.wordpress.com/2023/04/08/rafale-radar-scattering-simulation/

Flying & fighting in the Dassault Rafale: Interview with a Rafale combat veteran How you rate the Rafale M in the following categories? Instantaneous turn/High alpha/Sustained turn “It’s good, it’s very good. you have two types of ‘flying the aircraft’: you have the air-to air mode where you...

That is nothing but a myth, even a metal model of F-117 without RAM has RCS of -18 dBsm in a wide arc at 2 Ghz low band radar have inferior resolution to high band radar of the same size also small radar are not "anti stealth" by any means

Once again, just because you repeat the same nonsense many times, doesn't make it become reality, nor it will make anyone trust your word. As i have taught you many times, engine thrust is a dynamic value which change significantly with speed and altitude. A high thrust engine which cannot make...

No iam not assuming anything, you don't seem to understand radar transmission pattern. Every radars, no matter what shape, always have side lobes, that the nature of electronic emission,you can reduce side lobe level by different radar weighting such as Taylor40 but you can't eliminate the side...

Nice try darling, but as i have taught you before in F-35 thread, It is totally retarded to use a photo of an aircraft in full afterburner to argue that the same aircraft will have big IR signature in cruise condition, it like trying to argue that "because F-35 will be non-VLO with full external...

Unless we talk about full AB, generally stealth aircraft hide and cool their nozzle pretty well, and the fact that F-135 is a high bypass engine also means the plume is shorter for the same thrust rating.

That is absolutely wrong When looking at radar scattering graph of aircraft, one common mistake is to assume that aircraft will be detected by radar at a significantly longer distance from the side aspects or tail aspects, because radar scattering charts often show much higher radar cross...

Why do you keep tagging me in this thread? I don't care about the Rafale at all.

What...???.? Are you retarded or sth????

EMP is short for electromagnetic pulse, microwave pulse is also considered an electromagnetic pulse (though not all electromagnetic pulse is microwave), the rest i agree

Currently, there is CHAMP in development

where is the nonsense that SAAW is an EMP emitting PGM came from?, it is only a miniature PGM similar to GBU-39, nothing more, nothing less

where the heck does that even came from?, what exact T/R modules we are talking about?

That is incorrect. The design of stealth fighters give them low RCS not only directly frontal but also against radars at different elevation in frontal aspect. For most stealth aircraft low spike arcs cover up to 20-30° in elevation and 45-60° in azimuth. RAM play a role too Finally, stealth...

Sustained curve at Ps=0 Military thrust is the states of jet engine when they operate at maximum dry thrust (max thrust without afterburner) , the aerodynamic of the aircraft itself has nothing to do with the thrust generated by engine, unless we talking about inlet design, but that a...

It still doesn't make any sense for me even if i ignore his mistake for C/D variant, aerodynamic between C/D and A/B is pretty much the same except for the extended horizontal stabilator, but that mostly affect control authority at higher angle of attack, the corner speed of all F-16 version...

I wouldn't be so sure, the two aircraft have rather different design philosophy, each has their pros and cons and there are much more important factors in combat than speed or turn rate. That not quite true though...
