FROM AIR & COSMOS MAGAZINE FEB 2013


Rafale would have outperformed F15 & F18 in qatar


Au cours d'une trentaine de missions d' èvaluations qui se sont
déroulées à doha à l'été , le Rafale a pu montrer son potentiel aux aviateurs qatariens en conditions "temps chauds" . Tant et si
bien que ,de source gouvernementale ,il aurait tout simplement
surclassé la concurrence américaine (F15 strike eagle et F/A 18E/F Super Hornet ) ,également évaluée par le qatar ,qui envisage toujours de remplacer ses Mirage 2005
translate:
Over thirty missions assessments that are
held in Doha in the summer, the Rafale was able to show its potential in terms Qatari airmen "hot weather". So much so
although government sources, it would simply
outperformed the U.S. competition (F15 strike eagle and F / A 18E / F Super Hornet), also assessed by Qatar, who still plans to replace its Mirage 2005


IN MALI :



- 6 Rafale, 500 flight hours, 80 sorties.
- 4 sorties per day on average.
- Missions last between six and eight hours.
- No limitations due to high temperature.
- Possible accelerated implementation of laser guided AASM, the most effective weapon to destroy fast moving targets.
- Recce mission with Aeros reco NG pod: 30,000 feet, 2 Rafale, 1 with oblique angle and 1 with vertical angle.

Rafale now certified for refueling with the A310MRTT.
German source:


Technically, everything is clear for German air refueling in Mali use

Plans to support the French intervention in Mali, the Bundeswehr has at least taken the technical hurdle was for the fuel supply by a flying tanker the Air Force become a fighter of the French armed forces, certified, a Defense Ministry spokesman said in Berlin straight eyes . Thus the army is able to refuel with an Airbus A310 MRTT (Multi Role Transport Tanker) to French aircraft on the way to an assignment in Mali or on the way back - once for a mandate from the Bundestag present.
Officially, the ministry said not which fighter meets the technical / legal requirements now. According to information of eyes straight! are the (the?) Rafale , the most advanced fighter aircraft in France (and, for example, in international tenders, a competitor of the Euro Fighters).
The air refueling to the French had asked in Berlin, will be on Tuesday of next week by the Cabinet and passed by Parliament in late February. It is still unclear whether this application together with the planned German participation in the EU Training Mission (EUTM) for Mali's armed forces in a mandate is connected or whether the government of the Bundestag two mandates will submit. For the EU mission, the use of some 40 trainers, especially Pioneren and a rescue center with doctors, paramedics and support staff is provided. EUTM for Mali are still lacking, however, rescue helicopter - so far no member country has offered the posting of medevac helicopters.
Technisch alles klar für deutsche Luftbetankung im Mali-Einsatz : Augen geradeaus

Rafale: DGA launches standard F3-R



This is the chief representative of weapons Laurent Collet-Billon himself announced this morning at the annual press conference of the DGA in the last days of December 2012, a contract undetermined amount was awarded to Dassault Aviation for studies raising the risk of new development software Rafale F3-R called.

Previously, well repeatedly questioned on the subject, the DGA had refused to confirm signing such a contract end of 2012, perhaps in an effort to keep ads for the press conference delegate. The manufacturer, in turn, was also kept quiet about it.

Dassault Aviation In these preliminary studies will allow us to maintain a bit of office work load of studies on the Rafale, lack of significant developments requested by the export. Recall that F3-S standard, more evolved, was envisaged for the French customer in case of signing a contract with the United Arab Emirates.

more "realistic" in the current economic context, the standard F3-R should in particular allow the integration of future PDL NG pod and Meteor missile. Further improvements are also considered: capacity IFF Mode 5 / S, new ways to Link-16 system improvements Spectra, etc.. All equipment delivered must take advantage of this trend by retrofit software.

Theoretically, this new standard F3-R forces should be delivered to 2018, when the first Meteor missiles and aerial PDL NG should theoretically be delivered.

France has assured India that there will not be any middlemen in the country's biggest defence deal - the purchase of $12 billion (Rs.64,560 cr) Rafale fighter jets.

French President Francois Hollande, who is on a two-day visit to India with a delegation of ministers and business leaders, said, "I can give my commitment that there will not be anything different (in the Rafale deal). There will be nothing contrary to principles common to us... We are vigilant like India to curb corruption."

Assuring that the Rafale is a clean deal, Hollande said, "The Rafale has qualified because of its excellence. There cannot be any other reason."
Hollande, who is on his first visit to trip to Asia since taking office in May last year, made it clear that his visit was aimed at signalling to New Delhi that he wanted to add a new dimension to the strategic partnership.

During his talks with PM Manmohan Singh, Hollande pushed for the Rafale jet deal, which has been on the negotiating table since January 2012.
But given the storm over the AugustaWestland chopper deal, the Rafale negotiations made only "some more progress" and the two leaders "hoped to reach a conclusion."

The two leaders, however, concluded negotiations on the short range surface to air (SR-SAM) missile, which, once approved by the government, will be co-developed and co-produced in India. The Rs.30,000-crore project would be developed by MBDA of France and DRDO from the Indian side.

Hollande and Singh also signed agreements on cultural exchange, education, space and railways. Hollande supported India's candidature as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

A joint statement issued at the end of the meeting demonstrated the shared resolve of the two countries to work together to fight terrorism. "We share similar worldviews on many issues, including on the need to stabilise the global economy and combat terrorism," Hollande said.

Reciprocating to the French President's friendly overtures, Singh said, "India regards France as one of its most valued strategic partners that has given us strong and steadfast support at difficult moments."

Both leaders realised that economic trade needs a boost, as they missed the target of 12 billion Euro set for 2012 by 4 billion Euro.

Ok i was just reading now "Nav Bharat Times" part of Times group. they are reporting that allthough Rafale cost less them Typhoon but when technology transfere cost is added then its cost more then Typhoon . And also they are reporting that in specs Typhoon is better then Rafale. Is that true Typhoon is better then rafale in specs.I know i can go through thread to determine which is better but if some can summarise it here in simple language then it would be better

Also Did european consortium had added technology transfere cost while tendering
