How broken up will some StrategyPage posters be when the F-35 program office finally reveals the F-35 elecronic warfare suite will include not only state-of-the-art ESM but also state-of-the-art ECM, ECM that will include not only the very powerful X-band jamming capabilities that will be found in the APG-81 AESA radar, but also include both on-board jamming and towed decoys? If that day arrives, then so much for the F-35 "only" having an RCS of something like 0.002dBsm using "only" passive stealth (which of course already won't be the case in X-band). Won't it be funny if everyone sees that the formula for success with the F-35 is VLO + ECM = nearly invisible to RF? I admit I'll be disappointed if this doesn't turn out to be true... but I also admit I'm going to be ROFLMAO if it does turn out to be true. Keep your eyes on Electronics & Integrated Solutions, which both makes the latest ALE-55 towed decoy and also happens to be "responsible for the F-35's electronic warfare suite and is also providing advanced, low-observable aperatures and countermeasure systems."

A French pilot has achieved a 33 to 1 ratio and all french pilots were in the top 12 pilots among 350 pilots including USAF or British..A legacy of M2000 C-RDI in the 1990-1994 period were it was unmatched.<fs
 
Very interesting. I would love to see a link on this and read that story myself. Excellence should be a universally celebrated thing and I would love to learn that guy's story. I know you must have at least the pilots name or which Red Flag class he attended so I can Google him up!
 
Looking forward to you providing this!

As I work in Strategy field I will not give you the name of my clients nor the name of an individual I work with.I can not also put here some secret data as I'm restricted of speech on it;But when I see here that an Amraam or an Aster has 80 km range I laugh.In Fact it depends of target load factor and manoeuvering and you reduce that by 2.5 for example.That is the difference between superficial and correct information. I prefer to stay anonymous for these reasons.As a strategy consultant, I do or my consultants are doing, research survey on free or grey information, I have a full data base of relevant link where you can found reliable info. I spoke with Yves Boyer Diector of Fondation pour la recherche stratégique (FRS) two month ago to exchange on stregic studies and he confirms me that British military was much below and surprised by US C4ISR in Iraq according to top UK military officers themselves. I don't try to diminish Brtish value, but I 'm upset by some posts like Rule Britannia about assets of United Kingdom against French Republic.

It's just so hard to get good help these days!

DJ started this thread with some very interesting potential developments of the F35 program. I don't mean to throw a flame bomb at fs. Truly I would like to see any documentation he has on it.
 
F35: This thing is well compared to the F105 I think. It is an incredible multi-role aircraft with special emphasis on penetration strike capability and now it appears it can perform its own Wild Weasel function to escort itself into the battle space.
 
Quite remarkable.

The Watson Institute

They are geo-political policy wonk types-mostly; technically very incompetent  when it comes to nuts and bolts.

I have little respect for their views outside their limited POLITICAL  area or PoV, and as most of them couldn't figure out the technical details of how to  actually enforce disarmament or how to legally enforce agreements, I really have little respect for their opinions in that arena as well.

In effect, we are discussing mainly LAWYERs, academics, and social science professors  Just the kind of defense experts to whom I would listen.

Yeah, right.
This is the type of client for whom poseur1 claims to consult and with whom he associates?

ROTFLMAO

The only defense consulting Borat has ever done is being a poster on the French air-defense.net forum.  He made the identical claims there as well, that he was some kind of artillery officer, then became an executive in a defense firm, and now consults with the French ministry of defense. 

"Question : Stratege es-tu consultant en ressources humaines ,finance et économie ? ou stratégie de défense ?"
Je suis consultant au profit de directions genérales et j'interviens sur des sujets de politique industrielle et en particulier dans la défense.
J'ai bossé et rebosserai avec des think tanks.
J'ai été officier dans l'armée de terre dans l'artillerie (en tant qu'appelé).

Nobody there believed him either, and he was ultimately banned for making racist / antisemitic comments and for disparaging the French military (laughing about the incompetence of troops deployed in the field at the time).  It has to be said that he was more polite there, mostly because unlike SP it is a moderated forum and they take their rules seriously.

He still lurks there today, obviously, because most of the "news" posts you see from him on this site (e.g. the "Rafale stealth demonstrator" and the HA 100 radar) are from posts that others made on that forum a few hours earlier.

I think Phaid you are very wrong about my possible participation to a french forum.

Moreover Phaid I think quite diffamating to have associated me with so called racist/antisemtic comments.
I have been insulted first on this site and now you dare to diffame me without serious evidence.
I ask SYSOP to ban you (at least temporary).

LOL.  I stand by what I posted.  The record is clear and obvious, French Stratege here is Stratege there.  You say the same things, and you describe yourself in the same ways.

I have been consistently nothing but polite and tolerant of you in spite incessant personal attacks.  Meanwhile, you have called me a "moron", "incompetent", "amateur", "not an engineer", "unable to read", etc, more times than I can count.  You excuse this rude and pompous behavior by claiming that we are "not your peers" because you are some kind of consultant.  That is utter BS, and your activities on other boards prove it.

I  posted nothing but facts supported by easily available evidence in my previous post on this thread.  If you don't like people looking up what you have written in the past and bringing it back up to expose you, then be more careful of what you write.
