Eurofighter Typhoon - Updates and Discussions
- Thread starter Ashwin
- Start date
The radar is in production, so it must have reached a final state.We will see if it has reached its final state.
Obviously, Swiss doesn't need conformal array.
The Swiss don't even need an air force if we're being honest. It's probably just an excuse to flog their over-priced aviator-themed watches.
Italian daily says @Leonardo_IT said in reply to shareholder that it paid €171m in commissions on sale of 28 Eurofighters to Kuwait but declined to say to whom. Despite OECD treaty, such payments are reportedly still legal under Italian law.

I told you the E-Scan would be late.
And so the typhoon that carried out the Swiss evaluation tests did not have an AESA!!!!!

The way it's going, LCA may get AESA radar before Typhoon.
On a more serious note, how do you think the Swiss evaluations are going. I'm quite eager to know how well the Rafale stacks up against the Gripen E and F-35A.

We would like to know too! But for the moment there is no leak, it may be necessary that all the evaluations are completed for someone to make a decision, or that the influence of pressures is considered too strong.The way it's going, LCA may get AESA radar before Typhoon.

Yes, I think it may take a year at the very least.
I don't want a particularly detailed leak like last time, just where the jets stand based on capability would be enough.
Something like what the Danes released would be best.
That's far too general and is from a civilian. Need AF officials to speak about it.
That's not happening, Switzerland wants to maintain outward neutrality. High-ranked brass were punished for the leaks of the previous evaluation results, they also forbid the competitors to do any sort of PR stunt during the evaluation.

I hope that the Swiss have been able to experiment with the new GaN antenna of the RBE2 radar. This new antenna is 5 cm thick instead of 30 cm thick, which increases its diameter due to the conical shape of the Rafale's nose tip, and this new size allows 160 T/R modules to be added. The improvement in performance by combining size and power should be spectacular.
So the nose radar of F4 will have 1300-1400 T/R modules?
Also I thought they plan on removing radar from the nose.
Maybe you're right because my 160 T/Rs are very cautious as an estimate, but shuut ......!
