I am not going to respond anymore to you Rufus . Your ignorance is staggering ...

 

Cheers .

Herald , for God sake stop your never ending bashing . You go nowhere .

Like many French haters , you don 't like anything French and when it comes to military things , the USA must be the benchmark . Could you please put your flag down and talk like an adult and think a bit in front of your keyboard before jumping on it and typing BS ?

 

Every stuff I post , you jump on like a mad monkey with all sorts of irrelevant links and verbal abuse . You are a troll and your intelligence is less than average . In fact , SP doesn 't need you , we could do better without you .

Your last post is only a disgusting saliver spit and nothing else .

 

I mean , calling the Rafale a "pedestrian low altitude intruding bomb truck" clearly show your bias .

SYSOPS , how do you want me to respond to such vile and venomous attack ?  This is a clear violation of the board rules if you ask me . You are very clear about the definition of "trolling" and what Herald is doing should be dealt with and promptly .

 

Cheers .

 

 

 

 

 

Oh?  Was that between deliveries?  lol

 

You can get as indignant as you want, but you are a fake, and we both know it.  You waste your time and ours posting your poorly thought out lies to this message board, and when someone calls you on it... you lie some more and try to pretend you have "educated" yourself. (which you follow up shortly by posting more ignorant garbage that even the teenagers on this board can instantly recognize as such)

 

Let me spell it out for you one more time fanboy.  Red Flag is not a competition.  Red Flag didn't "prove" anything about the Rafale, certainly not in comparison to other similar aircraft.  Red Flag is not about different forces getting together to prove how great they are... 

 

How many times do we need to pound that into your teeny brain before it stays there?

 

 

 

Listen to me fanboy, Red Flag is not about "winning."  It is about learning.

 

On one iteration Rafale's might be tasked with destroying a certain target.  The next day they will likely fullfil a different role as a different group does a similar mission.(different missions are intentionally spread around)   Nobody is sitting there scheming out the best way to use the available aircraft to best "win."  It is about training.  All participants are there to get a good learning experience, including those with less capable equipment or less proficient crews.  What do you think this is?  Some kind of a football game where you put your best team on the field and leave the slow kids to sit on the sidelines?

 

In the real world, you may very well be fighting with forces that include older equipment and/or less proficient crews.

 

That is one of the things that is so amazingly stupid about the little scenarios you dream up.  You honestly seem to think the Rafale was flying alone out there against a horde of enemies, evading all of them, smashing the targets, and returning home to triumphant cheers, sprays of champagne and of course a great big Red Flag Championship Trophy. 

 

The reality is that dozens of aircraft from several different forces were in the air, all doing different missions, including SEAD, EW, AWAC, aerial refueling, and yes, providing fighter cover for the Rafales so they can do their low level strike... how do I know this?  Because this is how professionals fight, and thus how professionals train. 

 

Neither the blue force nor the red force is trying to invent new tactics during the exercise or taking uncessary risks. 

 

And you KNOW it at last. Because even you can read the plain English that exposes you and your pet plane for both of what they are.

 

Not what you claim to be.

 

Herald

You 're both wrong , on all accounts .

Since there is nothing I can do or post to show you the light , I will do without you . 

Simple .

 

Cheers .

 

Observe!

 

This is a "discrete" FRENCH dumpster.

 

This dumpster may not exhibit any features that one would associate with a stealth dumpster, however, if I claim that it is "discrete" and that it is covered in radar absorbing "paint," who could possibly argue with me?

 

There is saw tooth paneling on this dumpster's intakes!!!11one1

 

This dumpster could use Spectra and an IRST to sneak through the Moscow air defense ring undetected!

 

It could launch its silent attacks with IMPUNITY!

 

You will not be permitted to spread your falsehoods without challenge. If you choose to withdraw or be silent, that would be a great thing. You tend to pollute every aviation thread  with your nonsense and make it impossible to enjoy a decent discussion about the F-22, the F-35, the Typhoon, or even such topics as why the 1%ers screwed up the fine transport plane the A-400M should have been with a wrong engine choice; or how AIRBUS is a criminally irresponsible enterprise that has much for which to answer for foisting its poorly designed and UNSAFE aircraft product line on the global civil aviation industry.

I have already posted all the available reports on RedFlag 2008 and I can repost them again if needed .

 

The Dassault Rafale was THE aircraft who impressed most . As I said , within the fixed rules it suffered no losses (the only fighter to do so) and was able to (I repeat) :

Here is the truth, coutesy of PHAID:
