The result is, almost identical. tho not really linear. The contribution of the probe is about +- 0.1 sqm

If used in Radar Range equation, that correspond to about 2% changes in detection range. Guess it's a small cost.

Nothing is done (and I still think the Saudis will prefer to buy the 48 Typhoons delayed by the Germans), but just in case...

As said before, Rafale deal (at the request of Saudi Arabia due to the German embargo, now canceled, on the Typhoon) in Saoudia is not done...

Previously it had been assumed this requirement would be for a new batch of Eurofighter Typhoons, but KSA has been looking at other options following a German ban on exporting the type to Saudi Arabia.

Bruno Etchenic on LinkedIn: Rapport financier Dassault Aviation 2023

La publication des résultats 2023 de Dassault Aviation a eu lieu ce matin, sur l'iconique péniche "Le Talisman". Voici un compte rendu "à chaud" sur le sujet…
www.linkedin.com www.linkedin.com

For the production of the Rafale, the rate 3/month began in Seclin for the production of primary parts. With a manufacturing duration of 36 months, we will therefore have to wait until 2026-27 to see 3 Rafales leave Mérignac every month. The delivery rate will therefore gradually reach 2 aircraft per month (20 aircraft to be delivered in 2024).

The supply chain problems encountered throughout the global aeronautics sector will continue during 2024, but as for deliveries for the Rafale, the risks are limited and involve relatively anecdotal delivery delays. Two Rafales planned for the Air and Space Force were, for example, delivered at the start of the year instead of at the end of last year (13 aircraft delivered out of 15 in 2023)
