French Air Force will use Rafale ( technology from 1991 ) until 2040
but Dassault CEO says No FCAS before 2050 , that means French Air Force will use Rafale until 2050 while Germany buys 35 F-35 to operate with EF Typhoons
The UK and Italy bought F-35
Turkiye develops its own KAAN 5th gen Fighter Jet for 2030
even KIZILELMA unmanned stealth Fighter Jet with AESA Radar and GOKHAN ramjet powered long range air to air Missile will able to defeat RAFALE in BVR combat
also ANKA-3 flying-wing deep strike stealth UCAV for SEAD - DEAD role
and French boy BON PLAN calling Turkiye as a panther that sees itself as a lion
France is a cat that sees itself as a lion
The EF2000 customers purchase F35 because EF2000 is only a air to air platform, with very limited air to ground capacity. Not the Rafale case.
Rafale road map is paved until 2070, with at least a F7 standard. We only are seiing F4.1 today, so....
2030? In your dream. Maybe in the form of an aeroshow bird, never a mature and war ready product.
LOL. A noob argument without any source.RCS ( m2 )
RAFALE : 1
F-16 Block70 : 1
KIZILELMA : 0.3
F16 bk 70 RCS is the same as legacy F16.
Rafale RCS is far lower. It is a LO plane (and not a VLO) when F16 was studied when RCS wasn't even a subject.
F16 is an observable plane, as M2000, FA18, Mig29 and Su27....
