i read somewhere from a pilot comparing airshow performance of rafale and EF.it said rafale felt very light and nimble and EF ,OTOH felt more similar to F15 ,although at times it was able to point its nose quicker. it was on the rafale news on keypublishing : http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showth...

AFAIK the follow on option was for 3 more phalcons.the fact that only two of those were ordered might signify that IAF is interested in opting for a new platform bigger than the embraer for large field AWACS mainly because of the lack of spares and support for the IL76 fleet.just my 2 nayapaisa.

there was a discussion in rafale forums a while back about AASM125.it cited that the Armée de l'Air wasnt interested in the 125 version and preferred AASM250 and AASM1000(under development).

Re: LCA News and Discussions
for lock on before launch mode the IR seeker of the missile acquires the target , not the radar.you can actually go the other way around, use the IR seeker of the missile to track a target.AFAIK thats why the french are considering dropping the IR band from their OSF NG and use MICA's IR instead.
