The video is in Hindi language

Zist of the video

-talks about various radars of s400 and it's jam proof capability and detection range
- mountain terrains will inhibit line of sight for s400 radar detection against rafale in Himalayan region of ladakh
- elint role can be done by sending UAVs or through satellite.
- samyukta ground electronic warfare system with rafale low flying terrain hugging capabilities and spectra active cancellation tech will be useful in s400 sead operations after updating it threat library system with elint data recorded from UAVs and satellites.
-even if detected it can use xgaurd towed decoys to dodge missiles
-long range anti radiation missile plus in future
hypersonic /supersonic cruise missile will be used for sead role.
-tells also about Israeli jammer on su 30 mki to jam its radar and use brahmos to destroy it and but degrades it's role to be risky as non stealthy
Lack of low flying capability in hilly areas unlike
rafale.

P.S one thing one should remember AWACS can somewhat compensate the line of sight issue in mountain region if not full.though will have reduced detection range as close terrain hugging feature in mountain region will inhibit line of sight for any radar either air borne or ground

your daily dose of entertainment.
Lol. Fixad tachnalogy it seems.

Baap re. 300kms bvr range it seems.

also equipped with ecroose mishile syshtem. Surely it’s range is 2500 Kms right.

surely it’s second only to the F35’s. So much so that the PLAF are too scared to use it. They can’t handle such a powerful platform.

Indian Rafales practise mountain night flying for Ladakh in Himachal Pradesh
The first batch of Rafale fighter jets inducted in Indian Air Force’s Golden Arrows squadron are ‘fully operational’.

The current JF-17 only has a max speed of mach 1.6 and a ferry range of 3,500km. I doubt the JF-17 will ever see those big of improvements unless it gets a drastic redesign and far better engines which it won’t.

There is no Chinese missiles capable of 300km and the JF-17 radar wouldn’t be able to take advantage of such a long range missile anyways. The Rafale has the Scalp cruise missile. Pakistan also tried to get French avionics for the JF-17 so the aircraft is lacking.

The Rafale is not “fixed technology”, it has already been upgraded many times and the Indian version is getting some unique avionics and software upgrades.

The cheaper the aircraft, the less sophisticated and crude it would be. It’s like thinking you can match the performance of a Ferrari 450 with a cheap Ford escort which is never happening because the Ferrari has technology that is 50 years ahead of anything in a cheap Ford.

So when do we get the rest of Rafales, they are saying next 5 will arrive in October. Do we get all 36 of these by the end of 2022
Dassault always deliver on time, on budget, on spec. All the birds will have been released according to the contract.

I believe we would’ve bought gripens instead of Rafales in MMRCA if they didn’t have American engines having American engines puts them at the risk of sanctions from USA
Gripen is in the Mirage 2000 class.
A Rafale, according to the fire power, the range, the load is 2 to 3 times better than M2000.... Do the math.

Once again, Rafale >> M2000 and Gripen.
The AESA in the Rafale is FOC since 7 years, and used operationnal experience of the PESA one. Griepen AESA is in a prototyp form.
SPECTRA is war proven. The Gripen system is as mature as the radar.

Mr Nambiar has said that MWF are going to be better than rafales The Gripen is formidable aircraft that’s why it costs 130 million dollars each
