[russianspacemonkey86]

What crack happy put this together. Some of those were SAAF Cheetah D's in the beginning. Then a MIRAGE 4000 (not Rafale A) and an F-16?? WTF?

[Serra12]

@russianspacemonkey86 Correct, I don't know why there is an F-16 there! oO

[Allosaurus87]

2:20 cobra??????

[FaLL3nAnGeL1]

Nice french air force...greetings from greece!

[bingofioul]

0.52, it's not a rafale A, it's a mirage 4000 !

[phoenix42300]

F16 dans l'armée de l'air?

[jbhockey125]

Mirage 4000 et non Rafale A voyons! Élémentaire mon cher Watson ;)

[lykeiopais1]

...with Mirage 2000 and F1 we fight the Turks every day-night at the Aegean Sea in order to keep our liberation and keep Europe safe from muscleman hope Greece take the Rafael and kick some Turks ashes ...

[fasfaga]

lots of mistakes in this video. First seconds, it's not the mirage III of the french air force but a Mirage 50 from Chile air force. Them at 0:49 the comment says Rafale A and in fact it's a Mirage 4000.

[bingofioul]

c pas le raf A au debut ! c'est le mirage 4000 !!!

[215alessio]

nice to know there was a harrier type mirage :)

[chenoir]

@215alessio

Yep, the Balzac was developed by Dassault in the same time that the first prototype of the Hawker Harrier. But it was abandoned because these aircrafts have a too high fuel consumption, and the aircrat carrier we used since WWII were all long enough to allow the use of conventional take-off aircrafts.

The white delta plane called "Rafale A Technology demontrator" is a:

Mirage 4000.

[eldudu74]

the first ones r israeli kfirs from south africanAF,after,the "rafaleA"is in fact a mirage4000(prototype,last flew in'84),using afterburners is a f-16B orD,another raf & we see a mirageIV(60's jet,out of duty)then a balzac(vtol,60's proto),a G1(proto),an f1(exfighter,now recon)and a jaguar,decommissioned...sorry guys,this vid does not show the actual FAF,where only 1jet out of2is in flying condition(fact!).the raf has NO thrust,and the mica,though excellent,has1/3 of the range of an amraam

[taboot77]

First one is cheetah not kfir

[XavierB0126]

@eldudu74 1/3 of the range ?

last amraam 110 km

MICA : 60 km

its" not even" the half

and anyway better range is useless because :

they never use maximum range in fact

and today combat rules say visual reco on the enemi fighter before shot.

with the OSF of the rafale it's 20/30 km.

to finish MICA pown hard , a good missile isnt only range

amraam is really very good but not as good as MICA

[jetaddicted]

@XavierB0126 i was wrong on the ratio...lesson learned!

however,i seriously doubt the rules of engagement imply a visual reco of the target, what then would the f22 have been built for?,or the meteor?

the only rule i know of is" first shoot first kill"...

but then, i'm no air force,so,i base my judgement on logic,not actual facts :)

[chenoir]

@jetaddicted

Not a visual reco, but at least an identification of the threat in case of first engagement in a war.
