The size difference is incredible . Also the SU is lovely and the Typhoon ugly with its whiskers ...
 
I would like to see a Gripen next to the SU (rolling eyes) . The Gripen is a very small aircraft :
(from left to right : Rafale , Gripen , Typhoon) 

 
Cheers .

Yes the Su-30MKI is about 6 m longer than the Typhoon, with a 2,75 m longer wing span and being 1,08 m higher. But given their different design requirements it's actually not really surprising.

Just over 6 hours before a photo of a Rafale was added to this thread.

I was talking about the Gripen and it is a Gripen picture , you can also see the Rafale and the Typhoon ...
You want a Rafale picture , here is an old one :
 

 
- "You 're too close to France 's CdG ship , turn away right now" .
Quizz : can a knowledgeable poster tell what the fighters are and what year it was ?
 
Cheers .

Indian MIG 29? Shot during Franco/Indian exercises in the Arabian Gulf in 2004?

Surething.
 
What is my favourite plane? (btw, it's not Rafale, Typhoon, F35, F22, a MiG or a Sukhoi) It has seen extensive use in since introduction and can be found flying the skies from Antartica to the Arctic, it drops bombs, meatbombs, aid, and materials. It is used by all the US services, along with most western nations.

 Did you really expect anything different?
 
I love how the fanboy's excuse is that it is a picture of a Gripen.... oh and there just happens to be a Rafale there as well...

It's actually  Yemen AF MiG-29SMT. The shot was made during a CdG deployment , where they exercised with the yemenitis. But I can't remember when it exactly was, I think somewhere in 2006 or around that time.

It's definitely NOT an SMT model....the SMT has a fat spine.
