Ok it's my fault. Yhe guy doesn't tell it's an egyptian SU-35 but was confirm that the fight did happen between a rafale and a SU-35 of a not known nationality.
No nation has both Su-35S and Rafale together. And Russia or China haven't sent their Su-35s for overseas exercise(s).

So, Rafale beating Su-35s is a fallacy and completely fake news which now has been completely debunked.

Perhaps did that happened because russians send SU-35 to egypt so that tests could be done ?

Generally, electronics and weapons deployment capabilities are tested in the OEM's country. Only flight characteristics are tested in the geographic environment of the client country. Even if the radar was tested in Egypt, it would be in training mode or similar.

The only way to have comparative trials is if a country is operating both types or two countries are willing to share secrets, with OEM permission. And that's very unlikely to happen between France and Russia.

So treat it as it never happened.

Wanted to hear or not, Rafale or any other latest nato aircraft can beat SU35 or any iteration of flanker family easily.
Western nations are free to send their Typhoons and Rafales and F-16s and Eagles to Ukraine just to prove how superior they are to Su-35S/Su-30SM/Mig-31BM/Su-57;)
Treat it as a rumour, by lobbyists at best. Probably testing the waters for how stakeholders will react to the news, both inside the country and outside.


No, they are hinting at 5th gen features that other jets lack.

5th gen flying is very different from all preceeding generations.
Don't think any Indian fighter currently has passive and total silent attack capabilities of the Rafale. So, you're right, the tactics would be much different.

Information rumored in France
Fake news. Egypt doesn't have a single Su-35S in service. All planes intended for Egypt are heading to Iran.

They may have received one or two birds for trials...

It was said that SPECTRA made the Su35 radar to nearly shut off....

And in the following weeks another order for 30 Rafale had been inked.

Why is it difficult to understand that a russian Su35 may have come in Egypt for trials ?
Do you imagine Indian Air Force not trying all the MMRCA (1 and 2) fighters against its own fighters ?

Lol. It didn't happen, Le Ribbit, it's just another Rafale lie you believed because you wanted it to be true

"According to data available to the Avia.pro news agency, during the training battle, the Russian fighter could not oppose anything to the French combat aircraft, since the latter turned out to be more maneuverable and was able to sight the Su-35 fighter and conditionally destroy it. A similar test was organized by the Egyptian Air Force, which wanted to test the capabilities of each of the combat aircraft. The failure of the Russian fighter now raises many questions about its real technical flight and combat capabilities.
It should be noted that initially the Russian Su-35 played the role of an "aggressor", attacking a French fighter, but quite unexpectedly it itself became a "victim". "

"The case of Egypt is significantly different. Firstly because it has already received a first batch of planes. Some sources speak of six machines and others of four. This last estimate seems the most realistic today. And in use, in fact during aerial maneuvers, the Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E proved that it was a magnificent, very maneuverable fighter, but certainly not an aircraft capable of outdoing the best machines of the moment. For the Egyptians now it is clear that the Russian plane is very inferior to the French Dassault Aviation Rafale. The decision not to order more Flanker-E seems totally linked to the order placed last year for thirty additional Rafale.
However, there is a weight problem for Cairo: what to do with the Sukhoi Su-35s already delivered? The track of retrocession to Russia is now the most likely, especially since Moscow already has a new serious track to resell these planes already built: the Islamic Republic of Iran."

"During the training battle, the Russian Su-35 played the role of "aggressor" and was supposed to attack the Rafale. However, the pilot of the French fighter soon realized that he was irradiated by radar, and with the help of the onboard electronic warfare system - Thales SPECTRA (Self-Protection Equipment to Counter Threats for Rafale Aircraft), it blocked the Su-35 radars without any problems. The pilot of the Russian-made aircraft could not control his weapons and the pilot of the Rafale easily tracked the enemy with his radar, counterattacked and finally shot him down under conditions."
