Well in Corsica there were NO question of "simulating" a Mig or any other aircraft.
It was a ROE chosen by RAF to evaluate Typhoon capabilties vs Rafales in a turning fight , all aircraft were in the same configuration and the score is clear:

= Not like the one we claimed against the Typhoons after combat in Solenzara, Corsica, in September (9 set up: 8 to 1 for the Rafale) he said.
READ: In Sept 2009, the 1/7 meet the RAF Typhoon (29 Squadron) and trounced them 8 to 1 and according to him again during ther ATLC it was nothing like you or Jon Lake/Jakoniko are suggesting...
Enough of this nonsense,
Jon Lake never interviewed the 1/7 Patron, Lt Colonel Grandclaudon, he wasn't even in the UAE during the ATLC even less at the AdlA press conference.
He was purposely given a wrong information on the result of the encounter Rafale vs F-22 by an "unknown source" to thank him for b!tching Peter Collins after his article on Rafale for Flight International, and took the bait and proposed PM to his fans in the AFM forum with the false info... Too bad.
Pictures taken during both engagements with HUD and OSF cameras proves he was and still is not telling the truth about both (F-22 and Typhoon) and during the ATLC, RAF Typhoon were simulating.... RAF Typhoons.
YES you read WELL, they were in the "BLUE chest" side, so this french journalist got the wrong information from the wrong source....

The results I gave out [4:0 & 3:1] were when two Rafale took on four Blue Typhoons with a pair of simulated AA-10C Alamo on board. [...]
We simulate the AA-10C most of the time when we play Red Air.
The rest are usual lies and desinformation stories all officialy denied by the 1/7 patron.
French Rafale pilots says it repeatedly, Rafale is better than Typhoon in A2A and they got enough evidences of this for allowing themself to write:

http://richard.feeser.over-blog.com/ext/http://blog.francetv.fr/capitaine-romain/It is (Rafale) EXTREMELY maneuvrable and so formidable in dogfight. For example, confronted to an Eurofighter in a WVR conbat starting at equality, WE KNOW that we need only a few ten seonds to validate a gun kill.
The guy saying this is a Captain with the 1/7 Squadron under Lt Colonel Grandclaudon command.
Obviously NOT what is reported in the so called "interviews posted by Jon Lake/Jakoniko.
Then the same AdlA Captain comments:
Quote:
L’Eurofighter est un avion taillé pour le combat aérien et il le fait moins bien que le Rafale qui est pourtant polyvalent (combat aérien, bombardement, reconnaissance).
The Eurofighter is an aircraft designed for Air combat, and doesn't do this as well as the Rafale which is still more polyvalent (Air combat, strike, Rece).
These sources are coming straight from the same people who Jon Lske claims to have interviewed and still doesn't say anything like one can read on his "interviews.
We know who's telling the truth.
