| Who is the best Rafale or F22
I compare on cost effectiveness:
Explanation:
According to "manchester law" , in probability , a force of 10 tank in openfield with a kill probability of 100 % against a 40 tanks opponent force with a kill probability of 25 % at the same range will lost (assuming same rate of fire and same quality crew) will loose.
F22 cost more than two Rafale.
F22 is equiped with AM9X and Amraam
Rafale with Mica EW and IR.
Mica IR/EW have same effective range than Amraam (true effective range 20/30 miles according to target load factor) while superior to AM9X in short range.
Rafale is the last batch 3 version: 2*9 t M88-3 plus IRSF (long range infrared tracking multitarget device of 40 miles range) and helmet sighting.
I assume that Rafale RCS is 6 time those of F22
F22 radar has range 30 % above Rafale ( both have electonic scan radar).
F22 has same instantaneous turn than F22 at mach 0,7 to mach 1,5 and a lower one than F22 on sustained turn rate (10/15 %)
ECM suit of Rafale is supposed to be at least as good than F22 (see my post Rafale ECM)
In the combat there is two time more Rafale than F22 (according to cost).pilot are as skilled each side (don't even mention this troll idea that US pilots are more skilled, there is enough fact which shows that French pilot are as good in average)
I think personnally that Rafales wing win the engagement especially in clear weather.
I bet that in the same figure with the same number of aircraft each the kill ratio will be not more than 60 %for F22.
Because amraam will have difficulties to lock on Rafale, as mica EW on F22 but Mica IR will have an hight probability of kill at 20 miles due to its vector trust and 50 g manoeuvrability.
Especially if Rafale is equipped also with Meteor (Rafale is planned to receive Meteor in the next years) |
