Etentards are doing the role of laser spotting for the Rafales in Afghanistan. Apparently until the F.3 is certified this is the situation with the only recently (and rushed) approval of Rafales for CAS.
Okay, sounds like the French. They put something into service that isn't quite ready and have to spend ages solving problems that should have been solved in the design phase....
Real CAS is done by helos!![]()

hmmmm...not sure, the helos is always more vulnerable to AA, the Skyraider was the best CAS platform in Vietnam...and it wasnt a Helicopter.![]()

Yes, because if you look a lot of the stuff that has gone wrong on the US planes has been a little bit of minor stuff. I mean rarely has a plane's combat ability been affected by problems once it is considered front-line has it?
BTW - a helo can smash AAA w/o even being exposed. Plus - that is also mitigated by striking air defense with other assets first
The Beech Super King Air is used by COAN in various roles. One of these is aerial surveillance and patrol performed by the sophisticated Petrel variant. The aircraft on this photo was the third to be converted to this standard.
