BTW, we would never buy a Rafale after the French left the EF program. It is a question of pride (Ok we don't have much pride here in germany
) and a question of local jobs.
if we see last ww2 German Plane models, it was like Future Aviation Industry will be Ruled by Germans.
I think B-2 was actually orginated from a Nazi ww2 expt plane.
And those Nazi Mystery Aircraft generate much of Curiousty in kids.
Some people like to believe that if Nazis had the time, they would develop a Plane which can turn the whole tide of war.:germany
But i dunno why Germans aren't that competetive nowadays.
is it that German Industry doesn't have funds or Americans and Soviets Kidnapped Much of german Scientists and engineers
Gary says German Subs are Best in the world.
why not the German military Aviation.
Ha
About the Rafale.
I read somewhere that
Rafale was not able to show its capability of Claimed Spectra EW System.
that Stealthy jamming mods, Active Cancellation technique.
Moreover Rafales man machine interface is much different from F-16/15.
Especially Rafale has head Level display with touch screen panels.
Koreans and Singaporeans are used to US Fighters type of interface and thats why Rafale was not selected.
Bottom line is US lobbyists would Rule in Korea or Singapore and thats why both Typhoon and Rafale Lost.
Cost may not be the only Factor.
In one line Rafale is not worth of 65 million dollars.
But India Could be forced to buy Rafale.
As India has no other option,
India cannot buy US Systems due to political factor.
India is fed up of Russia Spare problems.
Rafale is only left option for them.
