Know Your 'Rafale'

[Bhartiya Sainik]

Isn't the word "Hindu" Persian?

Correct, hence i always use the word "Sanaatani" from "Sanaatan Dharm".
However, the base word from which Hindu is derived is Sanskrit "Sindhu" (river).

Never heard that word.

 

[Bhartiya Sainik]

Never heard that word. Probably need to change lot of books

A lot of things the world has not heard right about us, historical & present, hence they r under huge misconceptions & a lot of mistranslated books have also been circulated.

Well you can get started with changing names of these organizations- don't see your word anywhere

Very few of these require any change. And like i said the base word is Sanskrit based on then local river hence people don't mind.
But other some appropriate changes will occur gradually. These things take time with generations.
Your American Website WIKIPEDIA presents us in very confusing ways & locks those pages which require severe corrections.

Go change it on Wikipedia. Why complain? "America" doesn't care either way what you call yourself!

It will be changed back as per American/Western intrests & then perhaps locked also. You can look at history of Wiki pages which might be confusing to West.

Not interest but evidence or lack of will change it to-where it should be. I guarantee you no one cares whether you call yourself Hindu, Sindhu, Santana or Sanatana. You don't need anyone's permission

Any Wiki page related to any country's history, culture, etc should be under sole administration of that country's representatives but that's not happening, same problem on YouTube, Quora, FaceBook, etc, etc. I personally tried certain things with verifiable facts but like i said it didn't work.
For example, see what FB does everytime upon complain, year after year -

But as world is in grey shades, so corruption has no nationality or religion. During colonial times the police & soldiers who killed our ancestors were "indians" under leadership of invaders.
Today also we have many anti-national citizens, NRIs & emigrants of "Indian" origin like Daleep Singh, Kamla Devi Harris, etc, in other western nations too. So what do you expect?
And the problem is exactly that nobody cares what we call ourselves, by a colonial foreign era word after & decade of independence.
------------------------------------------------------------
We should return to agenda of forum's thread now.
It is useless to go in circles comparing 4th & 5th gen jets, especially when we will develop AMCA rather than buying any 5th gen jet.
We common citizens will never now exact deal details which are supposed to be secret. We all know what can happen to whistle blowers.
We are definitely concerned about high price of 36 Rafales but if we bought 126 jets as per 1st deal then we would have been bankrupted by now. Many scams have been exposed & controlled actually.
Moreover, why should it be revealed about some kind of advantage we might be paying for, it could be related to some secret add-ons & adjustments, operations & serviceability, etc.
The questions should be asked to government, armed forces chiefs & DoD directors, not to members of this forum.

 

[SARTHAK]

"Sanatana" literally means never-ending/ imperishable,"hindu" word implies civilization around Sindhu river,people use them interchangeably but the authentic world is "sanatana" in terms of religion

UAE hahaha: here is from UAE- slap on Macron

To clarify: UAE absolutely wants F-35 and wouldn't even buy Rafale. They have been offended by our dumb Biden administration and rightfully angry about it. There are some concerns about Chinese base in UAE but that's more of an excuse to reneg on the F-35 deal cleared by Trump.

UAE need so deeply F35 that no serious contract is on the table.
I hope for you that UAE will not take the same time to ink a deal than with Rafale : nearly 10 years....

Pics taken from the indian Rafale OSF?
It is a brand new model.

No, older pics released by French most probably.
We won't disclose capability of our jets so soon obviously. Perhaps today's OSF have been improved.

Indian Rafale are fitted with a totally new OSF. So improved, and probably more reliable.

Rafale engines during taxi, note the small burning glow at center. And the inner panels are separated from outer panels.

Nozzles at idle power

Nozzle at 100% mil-power. So the outer panels are flexible & smoothly overlap. The inner panels are the primary thrust contollers.

Nozzle in afterburner

Notice a ring of concentrated flame inside where hot gasses from combustion exit though a bottleneck.

Closeup of exhausts

A part of the cold air of the intake don't enter in the core, but is used to cold the plume of the exhaust so as to reduce the IR trace.

How? I'm not sure on that. Covering the inner hot plates by outer plates is a simple cheap technique which many jets have used.
