Once again, i would appreciate it if you can just answer this, you have been ignoring this question from before.
Who said it wasn't a problem? It's just not the problem people want it to be, It doesn't affect stealth, or is galvanic corrosion, Read the link Hercive put up, all the details are there and I have quoted from in several posts, that seem to fall on deaf ears
you are dreaming again, UAE wanted F-35, but didn't want to cut China, as was required, As to India, the Rafael isn't in this, it's wanting to go next gen , FCAS is possible, but unlikely to go ahead, Though the UK/JP 6th gen (my choice) or Sth Korean 5th gen would work
It's a bit like saying that Switzerland wanted the Rafale but that US pressure and its threats on the Swiss banking system forced it to take F-35s.
Where have I ever said, India should buy the F-35? from my point of view , it's not a good ideaIt's a bit like saying that Switzerland wanted the Rafale but that US pressure and its threats on the Swiss banking system forced it to take F-35s.
As for what India wants, we'll see what they take, but for now they have taken 62 Rafales and 0 F-35s, it's a good start for the Rafale!
Bad analogy but then again it is coming from a delusional person. Swiss never made a deal to buy Rafale they wanted a competition and when competition was over the report said Rafale was lacking just like the French report from French fighter pilot. Rafail finished behind the F-18E. Lol.It's a bit like saying that Switzerland wanted the Rafale but that US pressure and its threats on the Swiss banking system forced it to take F-35s.
As for what India wants, we'll see what they take, but for now they have taken 62 Rafales and 0 F-35s, it's a good start for the Rafale!
So i just read about it in another forum.
About the same as Russia on the F-35, if it was sold to India
Half of the french air defense forum, was put on suicide watch, after they lost the swiss comp, It sounds like some are still having trouble
The reality is that the F-35 lost 80 + 62 = 142 sales because neither the UAE nor India wanted an aircraft that is highly overvalued by L.M., the JPO and the American media and which costs 3 times more to run than what is promised.
Lol. Delusional as always. Let me slap and remind you with reality....

What is crazy is the nonsense you talk and the worst thing is that you believe it because you are so immersed in an ocean of propaganda that is constantly refuted by serious studies and then by findings a few years later.
The Rafale is LO in form and VLO thanks to Spectra; it has nothing to envy the F-35 from this point of view: electronic stealth is far superior to form stealth because electronics evolve much faster than metalwork, and form stealth attenuates the radar return signal in only one direction, that of the transmitter, whereas electronic stealth can do so in all directions, thus defeating multistatic radars, while form stealth cannot. The contemporary Rafale is therefore on par with the F-35 in terms of stealth, and the Rafale F5 will have a considerable advantage over the F-35 Block 4 in this respect, even if we assume that the American dreams regarding the Block 4 ever come true.
The IFRI has no expertise in aeronautical technology, they only parrot the disinformation of the Anglo-Saxon media, which are the most influential media in the world. Contrary to what they say, the Rafale was a pioneer in data fusion and computer architectures that allow the advanced developments we need today and therefore does not have the considerable development difficulties experienced by the F-35, which always promises but never delivers. The Rafale development plan has been remarkable, giving us the aircraft we needed at every moment for a development cost 10 times lower than that of the F-35, and it will be capable of everything the F-35 promised long before it.
Of course they didn't organize a competition, who said that? But they realized that they weren't going to be able to use your plane as they would have liked and that its supposed performance wasn't up to scratch, so they took a more serious option. There was no competition, but there was a comparison, be sure of that.Here's more reality...
Selling a fifth-generation stealth fighter to the UAE only became a possibility following the signature of the Abraham Accords – a peace agreement between the Middle East state and Israel – just two months earlier. Brokered via the USA, the pact normalised relations between the nations, enabling direct commercial flights and the development of new trade links.
While the UAE has long been interested in the F-35A, which made its first Dubai flying display appearance two years ago, getting to this point took many twists.
Why the UAE’s F-35 deal was worth the wait
Backed by the Biden administration and Israel, the UAE's attempt to buy stealthy F-35As looks set to propel its air force to the next level of combat capability and give it an edge over potential foes.
They've always wanted it but was not made available so they flirted with other fighters until the F-35 was made available for UAE and when that happened they gave no second thought to other fighters including your 4th gen french fighter. They needed no competition flyoff like the Swiss and Fins they knew which one was the best. So keep living in your delusional world where the UAE had a competition between F-35 and Rafal and chose the frenchies, no sweat off my back if some french guy lives in la la land.
I'm only a messenger. The one who are doing these hit pieces are F-35 by its own value. The only problem with me is that I consider scenario for F-35 that seems not valuble to you but become real few years later.
Remember Nevatim hit by iranian missiles ? You dont't have to fight F-35 in air you just have to wait them grounded since they are not able to fly more than 15 hours per month.You have no point Herciv, just wishful thinking, Ask Iran what they think of the F-35, when Israel took them out
French horse drawn carts are so much better than automobiles,
