In practice, both types depend to a large degree on tanker support for most operational missions. Support Hush-Kit with our high quality aviation themed merchandise here. The flip side is that both AMRAAM variants have advanced off-board guidance capabilities to allow passive engagements in cooperation with another aircraft in active mode. US development efforts have emphasised these cooperative engagement capabilities CEC far more than French ones over the past two decades, and Typhoon benefits from that weapon heritage.
Both are devastating revolver cannons with selectable rates of fire. The GIAT has the advantage in maximum possible firing rate of rpm vs rpm although in practice both would likely fire at comparable rates for both air-to-air or air-to-ground use to make best use of very limited ammunition rounds for Rafale, for Typhoon. As revolver cannons, both reach their maximum fire rate almost immediately. The BK27 has slightly better muzzle velocity and ballistic properties whilst the GIAT has slightly better destructive effect due to its larger shell.
In practice, there is little to choose between them, I pity the enemy shot at by either. The drawback is extremely high munitions cost. The Damocles pod has an advantage over Sniper and Lightning III in that it features an integral datalink capability to transfer reconnaissance and target data directly to other stations such as those found on French Air Force tankers.
Brimstone is more accurate with a much smaller ultra-low collateral warhead. Top WVR fighter aircraft here. Germany has cleared its Taurus KEPD cruise missile but since German politicians do not believe that Air Forces should be used to kill people, its capabilities remain untested in combat. However, to have a decent probability of kill against modern long range air defence radars, these missiles require accurate real time target location data.
This is because modern SAM systems such as the S and HQ-9 are highly mobile and have such long range that a subsonic cruise missile launched from a safe distance would take tens of minutes to arrive. I think that is now enabled. Both can use third party target data to launch Meteor without active radar scanning by the launch aircraft, and both can hand off guidance in flight to other friendly assets.
How frequently is Meteor actually carried in ? Tranche 2 and 3 Typhoons regularly carry Meteor on live operational sorties with European users, although the Tranche 1s do not use the missile which is why the RAF purchased the latest AIMD for its remaining Tranche 1s. How many Meteors are carried on a single-aircraft in everyday service? If it was a priority to up the Meteor carriage on Rafale to four, I expect that could be done at the cost of MICA numbers on the centre underwing station. Both Rafale F3R and P3E standard Centurion upgraded Typhoons present pilots with an intuitive combined situational awareness display which integrates data from multiple sensors.
In that sense, both feature sensor fusion and represent a significant upgrade compared to legacy aircraft and previous Rafale and Typhoon standards. Defensive aids SPECTRA has a better reputation primarily because of Libya in a result of French political ambition and risk tolerance, alongside technical capability. Typhoon comes with one or two TRDs mounted in a wingtip pod as standard, with specific version dependent on operator choices.
The leaked Swiss evaluation rated Rafale superior in almost every category- would this still be the case? The Swiss competition was horrendously mismanaged by the Eurofighter consortium with a buggy Tranche 1 jet sent to compete with the best that Saab and Dassault could bring to the table. However, in terms of radar, the Rafale would still come out ahead due to its mature RBE2.
However, an RAF standard Tranche 3 Typhoon would likely come out ahead on BVR performance, interceptor missions due to extreme rate of climb and performance , ESM, terminal countermeasures and low-collateral strike capabilities. Shame about the whole referendum thing for the Swiss Air Force.
How has Typhoon improved since your assessment? The fact that Kuwaiti Typhoons are already flying with the export AESA is a welcome but long overdue improvement but Typhoon really continues to lag in terms of exploitation of its huge potential given the massive nose aperture and power available in the AESA department.
Top 10 BVR fighters of The integration of the Meteor missile for the F3R standard Rafales has plugged a major weakness of the type in my assessments — the lack of a serious BVR stick. Sources say that the process of lowest bidder has been completed, Rafale emerged winner against the European Eurofighter Typhoon.

Actually the only area where Typhoon is better is interception, cause it is a faster aircraft. But once dogfight begins, you better be in the Rafale. Although the Rafale can carry more weapons that are connected to the 14 points of connection and even nuclear weapons , Eurofighter carries something better weapons, especially in the case of air-to-air missiles.
Rafale is better than typhoon in all areas and all confrontations year were fatal for the typhoon atlp, solenzara etc … Dassault fighters are considered among the most efficient in the world in terms of combat even if they are not bigger.
Rafale is a omnirole fighter from his conception, not the typhoon and the argument is to give more engine thrust or longer range radar is bogus because you must take into consideration all the other parameters, weight, radar syrface, weapon system, aerodynamics etc …Rafale is a must of fighter jet combat.
Therefore will be a better dogfighter. Rafale is however a better bomber. He added that he deemed the Rafale to be the best and most complete combat aircraft that he had ever flown. He concluded in saying that if he had to go into combat, on any mission, against anyone, he would, without question, choose the Rafale. The Typhoon can fly higher and faster than the Rafale. In order to gain the energy advantage one must climb as high and as fast as possible at the beginning of a dogfight.
The Typhoon climbs faster than the Rafale. In order to outmaneuver the opponent one must accelerate and turn faster.
