For talking about especialy Rafale, Typhoon, Grippen, Mig-29/31 with also eventually some others.

For dogfighters fans also they will recognize :) ;)

Rafale, French AF/Navy here it will be armed with up to 2 Meteor ( some others countries 4 ) as on this pics with in general 4 MICA eventually 6, Navy variant carry max 1 SCALP vs 2 for AF because should the missile is not fired for not return to the CV in a symmetrical configuration.
But Navy Rafale can use AM-39 no AF.

So you create a specific thread for dedicated Strike Aircraft and exclude the Su-34 from this very thread so you can exclude it from direct comparisions? Smells like something...

Makes no sense excluding any model when the thread is created for a specialized type of aircraft, just highly unfair and elusive for fair comparision reasons.

Personnaly mainly more simple for look have only one thread for all modern fighters 4/5th generation but much for a thread then better one for European, one US and one Russians but threads exist yet or Staff can update at less for get Sukhoi and Mig togethers ?

A few questions, if you know, Forbin:

So there will eventually be a 2+6 AAM loadout? Which hardpoints will carry the additional MICA? And is 2 the max number for Meteor or could you also change for example to a 4+4?
Also, do you know how far along the planning of that CVS401 Perseus missile is?

Mirage-2000D in test with 4 GBU-12 operationnal soon, before max 2. But with it can' t have PDLCT designator pod.

Again for the loadout, is 3xGBU-12 + Pod also possible?
