French Rafale enthusiast.
I know some relevant facts and people by sheer luck.

[DW Politics @dw_politics]

No new fighter jets through FCAS – Germany and France have buried their joint effort to develop Europe's next generation fighter aircraft. So, what now? Germany's defense minister said several possible alternatives are on the table, including a German initiative involving Airbus.

@Peter63712585 @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Ah yes, tanks, APC, and IFV are what's winning the Ukraine war.
Sure. 😂
France was the first to deploy to defend the European eastern flank in 2022.
Where was/is the German army?

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Powerfuldoggo @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 You are very lucky that France has a very Europeist president who won't support his own country but always find a way to kiss some foreign asses.
That is why.
If nationalists were in power in France just like in Germany none of that BS would have happened.

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Powerfuldoggo @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Doesn't need one. Holy Molly you people haven't changed in 20 years.
Did you get the memo? Hello? 323 Rafale exported versus 171 Eurofighter. You think that's a fluke?

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 India lost one Rafale, Pakistan lost the war. Thanks to the Rafale.
EAU pulled nothing, you're dreaming.
Oh France lacks "any form of army"?
Okay. 😂
How old are you really? 🤣

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Powerfuldoggo @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Not what the Qatari, who operate both types, say.
But since you're oh so great and strong, why did you need Dassault which is bad and broke for on the FCAS?
Why waiting 8 years to go away?
😂

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Powerfuldoggo @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Mk0 is GaAs. Mk1 is supposed to be GaN but already 5 years late. Soon to be 6.
Germany switched mk1 for mk0 for half of the Qadriga tranche 4. We'll see if the rest get the mk1.
The Rafale has had an operational AESA since 2010.

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Powerfuldoggo @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Sure.

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Yawn.
36 billion more for defense just days ago.
14 more discussed recently.
The Rafale sells.
The Eurofighter doesn't.
Also Dassault has something Airbus doesn't: competence. And it's not for sale.

"The original version of this story stated that the German Tranche 4 jets were receiving the ECRS Mk 1 radar. The initial deliveries, at least, are being provided with the previous Mk 0 standard of radar."

Mk0 = fixed GaAs AESA.
16 years after the Rafale.

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Powerfuldoggo @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Oh? That's why the Rafale has won all it's DACT fights against the Eurofighter so far since maybe 2006?
Got it.

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Also, Germany now treats Spain very badly, calling them "minor partner". So let me guess, when it was Airbus + Airbus versus Dassault, it was "democratic" and "everyone was equal", but now, Spain is small and insignifiant? 😂🤣
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Have fun failing upwards.

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Leo_PeriaPeigne @clement_molin Et en attendant sans Dassault il n'y a pas d'avion.
Safran aident déjà le DRDO avec leur moteur destiné à l'AMCA.
Le Rafale sera bientôt plus Indien que le Tejas.
Cependant le temps où des gens pensaient obtenir "100" demain en donnant "1" est révolu et la fin du SCAF le prouve.

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Trappier said it was legitimate from Airbus to want to learn. However Airbus also denied Dassault's lead on the NGF despite contracts stipulating Dassault was leader.
Regarding workshare the "Dassault wants 80%!" lie was used to demonize Trappier. He never said that.

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Then why ask for "sharing" from Dassault? When Trappier said repeatedly he was ok to share the foreground, but not the background, which was unacceptable in the eyes of Airbus?
Your claims make no sense.

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@Peter63712585 @Starkiller_29 @MichaelaWiegel @KeraneMass972 Airbus asked Dassault to give them their IP while denying Dassault their agreed upon lead on the FCAS.
"European" politicians claimed Dassault selling Rafale was "bad for Europe".
The Snecma/Safran M88 has 21 modules versus 15 on the EJ200 and will have more thrust with the TREX.

[Pat Adnet @PatAdnet]

@4Josh2Sara @MichaelaWiegel 😐That's not what I said. I specifically meant the opposite...

[Jean-Louis Thiériot @JL_Thieriot]

🔴 L’abandon du SCAF n’est une surprise pour personne. C’est une décision allemande qui fait suite à l’échec de nombreux projets de coopération (MAWS, Tigre, ...). Les engagements pris pour respecter la logique du « best athlete » et donc confier le pilotage du NGF au groupe Dassault ont été progressivement vidés de leur substance. Dont acte.
Ce n’est pas l’heure de pleurer sur le lait renversé, mais d’en tirer des maximes d’action :
➡️ Il nous faudra un avion de nouvelle génération. Il faudra aussi travailler à l’interopérabilité de nos flottes aériennes de part et d’autre du Rhin.
➡️ Les bonnes coopérations, celles qui fonctionnent et ne coûtent pas plus cher, sont celles qui émanent du terrain et relèvent d’une coopération industrielle choisie, et non subie.
➡️ La coopération franco-allemande est importante ; elle n’est pas exclusive. D’autres pays en Europe ont un rôle clé à jouer, de la Suède à la Pologne en passant par l’Italie. L’heure est venue de remettre ces coopérations au premier plan.
➡️ Je fais confiance à Dassault pour trouver les coopérations industrielles qui permettront de préserver l’autonomie stratégique de l’Europe, sans renoncer au cœur de nos souverainetés, au meilleur coût possible.
