Does that mean the f18 radar for epe version will be on par with f15EX's radar??
Even better with electronic attack capabilities. It will be nearly same as F35 in electronics but non stealth.
Unlikely. The same tech base, and the F-15's radar is 30% bigger. So the F-15's radar will outrange the SH's.
How can you imagine that computerized controls canard gives only the same benefits as LERX which are fixed. Dassault is really stupid to make life so complicated.
CCC means=c;lose couple canards. Typhoon has control canards. Please do a google search of "LERX vs CCC". you will get to see many studies by USA who did them much before you tried it. They completely debunked the theory. Do you know why? In an unstable configuration like CCC of Rafale, the canards carry a negative load just like a stable wing-tail design but for an unstable configuration of wing-tail, the tail carries positive load. This factor when combined with LERX results in higher overall lift as the complete aircraft is a lifting body with zero nagative lift.
So basically French are now in situation where hindi slang saying will come true..
Aas Kiya Chawda Hath Main Aaya L**da...
I'm surprised that USA studied "canard" before us because The term "canard" arose from the appearance of the Santos-Dumont 14-bis of 1906, which was said to be reminiscent of a duck (canard in French) with its neck stretched out in flight. And I know that Typhoon have control canard what I wanted to say is that the Rafale canard are controled by computer which give a lot of new possibilities compare to LERX. And your explanation is very simplistic and does not reflect all the finesse of the interaction of the canards with the wing of the plane which the computer can operate in different modes depending on the flight phase of the plane.
For example, thanks to the canards and the FCS, the instability of the Rafale is dynamic and can be adjusted on the ground and in flight which gives a great freedom to hang heavy loads on the aircraft (and to drop them without the pilot feeling anything).

The Rafale has approximately 100 percent more lift coefficient (CL) on approach than the pure delta, although the wing loadings are approximately the same. This gain in CL results in a reduction in approach speed, thus assuring STOL capability.
The gain in CL is attributable to the fact that the canard can generate a large lifting force and thus a large nose-up moment which is trimmed out by positive wing elevon deflections.
Such trimming generates a positive trim lift increase. The pure delta, however, must utilize negative elevon deflections which cause a lift loss.

It's an advanced version of the F-18 because you can see that it has canards just above the eyes instead of LERX
With more than 800 uncorrected deficiencies? 13 of which are critical category 1 deficiencies?
Looks more like air brakes to me. I think it's preparing to land.

No they have confused the tonnage with the number of armament carrying points, which is 13 on the Navy version.According to this article, payload capacity of Rafale M is whopping 13t. Is it true?Specifications and performance data of Rafale fighter jets

Payload capacity is 9.5 t when take off is from ground, if the take off is from carrier you need to take into account performance of the carrier too.
But all the French operational configurations used on the CATOBAR Charle de Gaulle, will be available on your STOBAR aircraft carriers.
Boeing offers F/A-18 Block III Super Hornet fighter jet to Indian Navy
Boeing has expressed interest in supplying the F/A-18 Block III Super Hornet fighter jet to the Indian Navy.
Responding to queries from BusinessLine, the company said, “We have responded to the Indian Navy’s Request for Information (RFI) for the Multi-role Carrier Borne Fighters programme. The F/A-18 Block III Super Hornet, the frontline fighter of the US Navy, is on offer to the Indian Navy. It will offer the most contemporary war-fighting capabilities to the Indian Navy while enhancing cooperation between the Indian Navy and US Navy.”

Pact for Apache helicopters
“Today, India has 11 C-17 Globemaster IIIs, eight P-8Is (with four more on order), 22 AH-64E Apaches (with six more on order) and 15 CH-47F(I) Chinooks, all Boeing platforms. In 2020, Boeing also signed an agreement with the Centre for the acquisition of six AH-64E Apache helicopters for the Indian Army,” the company added.
The pitch to the Indian Navy has been made by Boeing Defense India (BDI), established in 2017. The current product range extends to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, tankers, unmanned systems, security solutions and services and support.
The Block III version of the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet is currently being manufactured for the US Navy. “It can perform virtually every mission in the tactical spectrum including air superiority, day/night strike with precision guided weapons, fighter escort, close air support, suppression of enemy air defence, maritime strike, reconnaissance, forward air control and buddy refuelling,” the company said.
“More than 700 F/A-18 Hornets and Super Hornets are in operation today. F/A-18 Block III Super Hornet will offer superior economics in the form of low acquisition cost, operations and high mission readiness. The Super Hornets will be sustained in India, in partnership with the Indian armed forces as well as India and US-based partners throughout the lifecycle of the aircraft,” the company added.
Boeing has also launched a promotional campaign to drum up support for its fighter jet; this also includes marketing on social media. Some industry observers are looking at this in the light of the Rafale deal controversy.
In 2017, the Defence Ministry had said that it intends to procure approximately 57 Multi-Role Carrier Borne Fighters (MRCBF) for aircraft carriers of the Navy. The deliveries of the aircraft would need to commence within three years post conclusion of the contract.
