A DASSAULT RAFALE PERFORMING AT AEROINDIA ON SATURDAY, FEB.13, 2011.
February 13, 2011 by Noam Eeshel Defense Update
I've been given the chance to be the first Indian journalist to fly in the Dassault Rafale (the one in the picture) at Aero India, where it makes its first public appearance in the country. As this post gets published, I should be in the air over Yelahanka with a Dassault test pilot in a French Air Force twin-seater Rafale that's just done some time in Afghanistan. Will be doing a special report for Headlines Today on this, the least visible of the six contenders in the India's $12-billion medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) competition. Stay tuned.
Comment : of course, we'll stay tuned ! have a nice flight !

08.02.2011 par P. CHAPLEAU – Lignes de défense
Depuis lundi, un des quatre Caïman (NH-90 d'Eurocopter) dont dispose la Marine nationale est arrivé sur la base de Lanvéoc-Poulmic (Finistère) pour 15 jours d'évaluation. L'engin a atterri en fin de journée. Plafond bas et rafales: un vrai temps breton pour saluer le successeur du célèbre Super-Frelon.

de tir dans les coins, jumelle de vision nocturne, protection nucléaire, bactériologique et chimique, ostéophone, qui permettant de communiquer par les os du crâne... Depuis quelques semaines,
plus de 2.000 fantassins ont reçu leur nouvelle tenue Félin. Un équipement né d'un programme de 1 milliard d’euros confié à Sagem en 2004 et qui témoigne d'une mue technologique sans
précédent. A découvrir en images.
