New Delhi : Indian Rafale Jet Vs Pakistani Jet F-16: MLA Jitendra Awhad in his speech said that late Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, also the former Defence Minister of India was the "first victim" of the Rafale fighter jet deal.

Now, in the country-fight common people hardly know about Rafale Jets and F-16. To help you understand the topic we have come up with a brief comparison about the Pakistan F 16 and Indian rafale. Just take a look at the following information.

Pakistan F16 Features

In F16, Lockheed Martin has integrated technologies derived from the F-22 and F-35 including the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) APG-83 radar that provides F-16 with 5th generation fighter radar capability. It can detect enemies in a range of 120 kms. Its maximum engagement range is 20 targets at 84 kms.



Indian Rafale Jet Features

Rafale is fitted with a multi-directional radar which can detect 40 targets at the same time in a range of over 100 kms. It has undetectable passive radar sensor which is an extremely precise optical camera.



 

There is a recognisance pod: a massive digital camera which can take photos at any speed with a precision of 10 cms. And finally, there is  Spectra, an integrated defence aid system which can jam or counter-jam enemy radar signals, give missile-approach warnings and send out decoy signals in case an enemy missile gets too close to the Rafale.

Therefore, it is clear that declaring winner is a difficult task until the pilots shows their skills. Let's time decide the fate of the countries.
