Eurofighter Typhoon VS Dassault rafale

Dassault Rafale
_____________

The Dassault Rafale is a French twin-engined delta-wing agile multi-role fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation. The Rafale was brought in as the replacement for the Mirage 2000-5 that was originally a competitor for the tender,after the production lines for the Mirage closed down, as well as the entry of much more advanced aircraft into the competition.

The Rafale has the advantage of being logistically and operationally similar to the Mirage 2000, which the IAF already operates and used with great success during the Kargil War (see Operation Safed Sagar). This would require fewer changes in the existing infrastructure of the IAF, which in turn will reduce cost. Moreover, being 100 per cent French also provided Dassault a distinct edge over its competitors on the issue of technology transfer.Dassault claims that the Rafale has an advantage over many of the competitors because it is not subject to ITAR restrictions.

The French government has cleared full technology transfer of the Rafale to India, including that of the RBE2-AA Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar (which will be integrated with the Rafale by 2010 and the transfer of software source codes, which will allow Indian scientists to re-programme a radar or any sensitive equipment if need be.Without the software source codes, the IAF would have to specify mission parameters to foreign manufacturers to enable configuration of their radar, seriously compromising security in the process.

Dassault has also offered to fit the Kaveri engine into the Rafale, which, if chosen, would greatly improve commonality with the Tejas aircraft that will enter service into the IAF by 2010. Concerns have been raised about cost issues as well as potential sales to Pakistan, which has also expressed interest in the Rafale. However, no such jets have been sold to Pakistan, and India and France have recently agreed to "go beyond a buyer-seller relationship".

In April 2009, news reports stated the Dassault Rafale has been disqualified from the competition for not meeting minimum performance requirements after a technical evaluation.However, the IAF stated that there has been no disqualification .

Eurofighter Typhoon

_______________

The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine multi-role canard-delta strike fighter aircraft, designed and built by a consortium of European aerospace manufacturers through Eurofighter GmbH.

Eurofighter is offering the Tranche-3 Typhoon for the Indian requirement, equipped with the Captor-E (CAESAR) AESA radar. EADS has invited India to become a partner of the Eurofighter Typhoon programme if the Typhoon wins the contract, and will be given technological and development participation in future tranches of the Typhoon. Bernhard Gerwert, CEO of EADS Defense Department, elaborated that if India becomes the fifth partner of the Eurofighter programme, it will be able to manufacture assemblies for new Eurofighters.

In January 2010, EADS offered to include thrust vectoring nozzles (TVNs) with the Typhoon's EJ200 engines for India. Thrust vectoring will improve operational capabilities, and reduce fuel burn by up to 5 percent and increase thrust while supersonic cruising by 7 percent

@sociopath79

I don't need to be pathetically agressive for knowing how Rafale & EF were evaluated by the foreign armies.

Invariably:

1. Rafale

2. Typhoon

Equal to F-35 according to Dutch evaluation (F-35 = 6,97 Rafale = 6,95......Typhoon 5,83 huhuhu).

I know, truth hurts. But you can't change reality with pitiful anti-french feelings & a laughable jingoism.

Deal with it.......Or die.

dude India went ahead wid Rafale.it's nice.I do have faith on dassault as IAF has already usd Mirage2000 successfully in Kargil war.

But cud u xplain whn did UK sent millionsaids to India

[GeorgeClarke93]

Aaaah 240p, we meet again.

[chezzylee]

looking good as a jet doesn't protect your air space!!

there is more of a valid reason why more countries have typhoons rather than fancy looking rafale

[Utubeifuwant]

@himsakhils I took the term 'slumdog' from the film 'Slumdog Millionaire' and as it is used throughout the film I assumed that was the term used in India for the poor people of the slums.

If I am wrong, I apologies. I did not mean to offend.

What I am saying is that the Indian government should get its priorities right.

[InitialDAmine]

@EkaterinaRukovskaya how many countries appart from the ones that built it and their lobying at Nato? how many countries uses it outside of Europe? let me answer it for you, it is one Arabie Saudia.

As for the Rafal vs EF shit, they almost identical, they share many compounents (built by Thales or EADS, there is one thing that puts the Rafal ahead of the EF, and it is that the EF is imcomplete, and the first tranche doesn't have many features that are coming in the future

[himsakhils]

@Utubeifuwant:U could've said slum instead of slumdog. I understand how frustrate are you with India's decision. anywayz keep surfing youtube Mr.utube-if-u-want.lolzz.. u wait for someone want you to surf youtube.

[Utubeifuwant]

@himsakhils You should be asking yourself why foriegn governments, mainly the USA, need to send billions in aid to India tohelp the wretched slumdogs to survive while the Indian government wastes billions on fighter jets it will probably never use and a flag waving space programme that will acheive nothing.

@prateekjaiswal1986

I heared the typhoon wich was tested at this swiss report was tranche 1 and the rafale was a F3.

[unltd679]

@EkaterinaRukovskaya except producing nations only Austria and Saudis

[unltd679]

IMO rafale to eurofighter is 0,9:1 euro to su35 is 1:1 f22 is a big question mark as its primary feature the stealth has never been combat proven to assess

[prateekjaiswal1986]

@EkaterinaRukovskaya read the leaked swiss airforce report, if you want, and please dont go by media shits man, the reports that are prepared by airforce are much more credible than what media says, Eurofighter could have been if britain would have trusted itself more than USA by providing funds to its plane....as far as The shit F35 is just type pierre sprey in you tube and you would know, or type RAND(the biggest think tank of US) report on F-35 v/s Flanker visual range combat...............
