Interesting find here! Though "average" RCS could mean a lot of things. RCS of any aircraft varies from different aspects. RCS at an aspect angle of 90 degrees would be different when the aspect angle is say 180. But 10 m2 is still high for a modern aircraft. Airframe to blame?

@CrozrX @DavPappa @Forbes Also 🇭🇷 is a member of NATO since 2010 & given its def budget it probably wouldn't need (IMO) a frontline fighter which was primarily designed for both air-superiority & deep strike/interdiction roles like the Rafale. Gripen or the F-16V would be much better bang for the buck.

[Charles Bronson @Charles_36FS]

@CrozrX @DavPappa @Forbes Would depend on several factors. Foremost being 1) 🇭🇷def budget & 2) Geo-political factors. Capability wise Rafale has an advantage but the cost per flight is much more than both Gripen & F16V. Q is does 🇭🇷 need a fighter which has much superior payload & range but $$$ to operate

"Forever knights of the sky!"

Today marks the 25th anniversary of one of the deadliest crashes in the history of Russian Knight.

On 12 December/1995, while approaching Cam Ranh Airfield (Vietnam) in adverse weather, three Su-27s of Russian Knight crashed into a mountain.

On this day in 2001, an American drone kills several al-Qaida operatives in Afghanistan with a Hellfire missile. It's history's first successful Predator strike.

You think police brutality is bad now, wait until every city is ruled lordlike by defense industry armed John McCain'ians and Hillary'esque "we came we saw he died" type of tyrants.

It is absolutely terrifying how many people in this country think France has somehow brought these Islamist extremists & their beheadings on themselves by refusing to condemn the Charlie Hebdo magazine cartoons of Mohamed. 1/
