Beazz , I don 't think that Nicolas Sarkozy is on his knees . Not his style and far away from it .

The UAE want the Rafale because most of their Forces are already equipped with French hardware . Do I have to remind you that they are the most powerfull ground Force around with more than 300 Leclercs and many other French systems ? Do I have to remind you that it is the Rafale F2s who have smacked Vipers Blk60 and not the Rafale they want to buy ?

As I said earlier , it is a win-win situation , you want it or not . You are not French , you are not up to date with what we do and you are biaised . Sorry ...

Cheers .

Never the less, your president was in the UAE with a sales pitch for your airplane? I don't recall any other presidents of a major western nation ever being a salesman for their products?

Again you say that. So when and what exactly do you mean by *smaked*? If a competiton was conducted, apparently they were not impressed as I say agin.. they do NOT want the Rafael in its current condition. They do hwoever have 80 American F16's and are trying to get RID of the only French fighter a/c they have. All the rest of the UAE a/c used for fighting are American BW. Apaches, Blackhawks. Only French a/c besides Mirrage are utility/transport. I fail to see what UAE having French tanks has anything to do with the possible purchase of an a/c? I show 105 French a/c and 167 American a/c. So it seems from a aerial standpoint that American systems is what they prefer?

You see what you want BW. The UAE doe NOT want the Rafale in its current state. Biased or not, that is the plain simple fact. Are you disputeing that? If it makes you feel better to call it a win win.. well thats ok with me. It's your illusion and you are intitled to it. BTW, just out of curiosity, when was the last time the US had a customer tell them..bring your a/c up to our standards, pay to do it and when your done doing all that, you can then buy ALL the old a/c we wish to replace and then, and only then we will consider buying your a/c? I don't follow things all that closely so could you point me to the sale that had requirements similar to this. Matter fact, could you point me to the sale from ANY nation that had to succomb to those type demands in order to make a sale? Like I said, I don't follow these things all that close and I am just here to learn. So could you point me in the direction so I could go read about it?

Apparently, No one else is up to date on what the French do either BW. Maybe yall should work on that huh?

Look at that lovely aircraft , the F-15 Eagle :

(nice pic isn 't it)

I have been a huge fan since day one . The Eagle has been the best Interceptor the World has ever seen and it holds many records . It has a lovely shape , the pit view is excellent , the latest variant has an excellent radar and it can carry almost all the US inventory (!) . It is a BEAST . I love it :-)

But this is better :

the whining of children either.

Better grow up and apologize for your lying about the Rafale and about things in general. At least TRY for once to be a man, poseur 2.

Standard greeting for such as you.

It's foolish to cite the purchasing habits of ME nations as evidence for the quality of any weapon system. Some of these are corrupt purchases. Frankly I'm stunned Rafale hasn't sold well. The French usually pay huge bribes. I think it may have something to do with Iran's belligerence. They ,may actually want stuff that works. That means missiles that work and AESA in fighters. Rafale offers neither.

Since we all are a bit tense , let 's cool down with a nice video . The best is at 2:15min and after .

The real amateur will enjoy the fast ride . To this day , no other Fighter can do the square dance as fast as the Rafale , not even the Typhoon who is the closest so far . The F-teens can 't even pull the Gs at that speed and the F-22 never tried yet but I am confident that It hasn 't the needed acceleration after a full roll + a 45deg turn 4 times in a row .

Why are you confident the F-22 doesn't have the acceleration? Cite some figures.
