When you buy a Rafale, you're sure to be able to operate what you bought ... without risking the US to remotely deactivate it or collect ALL the data around it (the F35 way).
if you don't have aproblem with it before that 😂
@@JPmaxlevel ok troll
In the entire history of aviation, Russian and American planes have never defeated French planes.
The Israeli Mirage III had destroyed even wreaked havoc on the all the Su and the Russian-made MiGs during the war between Israel and the Arabs.
The Indian Mirage 2000s have always defeated the Pakistani F16s, just as Greece did against the Turks.
The Iraqi Mirages had defeated and even wreaked havoc on the Iranian air force during the war, Iran equipped with American Phantom aircraft.
I love the Americans who come to talk about the F35 in the comments because they have an inferiority complex with the Rafale, at the same time it winds as well as the F35 and is the only plane (with the Mirage 2000) to have beaten the f22
Everyone in the know appreciates the Rafale and has nothing but respect for the pilots. The French Navy flew for about three months including Dissimilar Air Combat Training with Hornets, Super Hornets, F-35s, F-22s and T-38s. The Rafale enjoys excellent sales because it has earned a reputation as a versatile platform. The Super Hornet, for example has only sold to the RAAF. The Rafale while being an expensive 4.5 Aircraft does employ excellent avionics, EW and will continue to improve as new weapons and sensors are added to it. It will be interesting to see what the Indian Air Force reports when they compare their Rafales to the MiG-29s, Su-30MKI and the Navy MiG-29Ks. As far as in training, no platform is undefeated. The F-22 is no different. T-38s, EA-18Gs, Rafales all have had "kills" against the F-22. DACT is training and training is learning. Last year, the 1st Fighter Wing hosted a number of NATO F-35 at Langley,AFB. The pilots flew with and against F-22s,T-38s and the F-16As from Top Aces. I have some friends who fly A-4s and Mirage F-1s and have "killed" everything from F-15Es to F/A-18s to F-22s. The US DoD invests so much money in Contractors as well as NAWDC,Red Flag,Red Flag Alaska, and various Reserve Squadrons because Air Combat is never a done deal. The Rafale has speed, power, sensors, range, impressive weapons loads and can land on French, US and hopefully in the future Indian Aircraft Carriers. Anyone who disregards the capability of the Rafale needs to speak to some real pilots, Aircrew and Operations people.
@@00calvinlee00 god bless you, you must be one of the rare person in this comment section with a brain, ofc the rafale and the f22 and the f35 but we can't compare them, at least in my opinion. But man you have a friend at top aces ? And you worked in the air force or something like that ? (sorry for my english im french)
@@windowsxp9815 F18 Hornet and Super Hornet are designed to be a Navy aircraft with folding wings . It is versatile and capable so was purchased by Australia, Canada, Finland, Spain and Switzerland as well as the USMC and USN . In the US F35 will eventually replace the Hornet but not for 20 years and Block III have 10,000hrs useful service. Constant upgrades to modern aircraft are normal so like Rafale they remain effective. Perhaps Rafale will have a body enhancement even ( but it does look better than all it's cousins ) only time will tell. We are about to enter a new era with drones, AI and pilots an optional extra ..TEMPUS FUGIT.

While your statement about the Dassault Rafale's popularity is accurate, there are additional factors contributing to its appeal. One significant reason is the increasing reluctance of nations to procure Russian-made equipment due to the risk of Western sanctions. Indonesia, despite its longstanding desire to acquire the Sukhoi Su-35, has been compelled to seek alternative options to fill the gaps in its defense capabilities.
The Rafale emerged as a suitable choice, aligning with Indonesia's broader goals of developing a domestic defense industry. While the nation is collaborating with South Korea on the KF-X project, the lack of core technology transfer from the South Koreans has hindered progress. To address this, Indonesia is now exploring the possibility of securing a full transfer of technology (TOT) for the Rafale from Dassault Aviation. However, the French company has reportedly set a condition: Indonesia must commit to purchasing an additional 58 Rafale jets beyond the 42 already ordered.
If this deal materializes, Indonesia could potentially become a significant player in the development of 4.5-generation fighter jets. It's important to note that Indonesia's interest in the Sukhoi Su-35 remains strong, rooted in a long-standing and robust bilateral relationship with Russia. The acquisition of the Rafale is primarily driven by the need to replace aging aircraft like the Hawk 100 and Hawk 200, rather than as a replacement for the potential Su-35 purchase.
Many Indonesians view the threat of US sanctions for purchasing Russian equipment as both hypocritical and counterproductive. It is widely perceived as an attempt by external powers to dictate the domestic affairs of sovereign nations. Indonesia maintains that Russia remains a valuable and trusted partner.
@@woodlabstore Indonesia building Rafale, or any similar aircraft, is a non starter as they have no experience/ expertise in aircraft manufacture, that would take decades to acquire and by then the Rafale would be obsolete. Perhaps a line assembling kit parts is possible but who would certify/guarantee airframes built fully from scratch?
Dassault wouldn't give a TOT agreement to India so I can't see them doing so to anyone and they will not share their Nuclear Protocols with anyone!
SAAB have done a TOT agreement with Brazil, for Gripen E, but that has taken 10 years to develop and for Embraer to begin building its first F39 and that is with a company that has built aircraft for 5 decades + .
What Makes It So Popular?
Because it looks cool 😎
you re right, but you miss one of the main reason of the success of the Rafale : country like Indonesia, Egypt (...) buy Rafale and not Russian plane because they don t want to be under sanction by the US
Slava BAGUETTE 🥖 Geroyam Croissant 🥐
Nope lol😅
all wrong!!! India doesn't care what the USA might say, even Egypt! If the Rafale sells like hotcakes, it is because it has reached an excellent maturity, Russian planes are completely obsolete, even India which bought Rafales have abandoned the SU57 because this plane will be a problem like the SU30 MKI, expensive to maintain, complicated to maintain, unreliable, or not reliable at all, just listen to what the Indian Marshal who manages the Rafales says, he says that the Rafale is an exceptional plane and its man/machine interface almost from another watch, he had his contact with the first Rafale when he was 27 years old, if he had had only 10% of the Rafale's capabilities, his life would have been very different! he does not regret buying the Rafale, they are very easy to maintain, very reliable, efficient, it can do all types of missions easily and switch from one to another during the same flight!! The Rafale is the only 11G+ aircraft in the world, so it can take load factors higher than all other aircraft! Rafale C weighs 9850 kg, it carries 9500 kg of armament, it is a record for an aircraft less than 10 tons! and 14650 kg in armament and fuel, yet another Rafale! But, no one has yet seen the Rafale F5, future iteration of the Rafzle with extraordinary capabilities, such as a revolutionary radar, the RBE2 XG or TARAMMAA, capable of detecting an F35 at + 200 km, or detecting tiny that current fighter jets cannot detect! and the ability to be escorted by 1 to several drones! and this, in only 6 years!! many have Rafale F3R, France has been receiving the F4 version for several months! first series fighter plane with artificial intelligence to manage maintenance, with the future radar, it will be equipped with a second artificial intelligence! the Rafale has not finished its career, future Rafales will be exceptional!!!
India was not on the shopping list for F35 due to it's Russian purchases so not an option.
@@LOLOVAL-os3pq I am not saying that Rafale is not a very good plane, but Egypt and Indonesia for example have chosen the SU 35 and finally change their way, fearing US sanctions
if you want to know how good is the famous SPECTRA EW suit, in Libya, the Rafale could freely fly and operate in airspace protected by SAM without destroying them. The pilot would just use the jammer or even the main radar to blind enemies radar. (for exemple, it's like if you had a really powerfull flashlight and that you point on someone eyes, except you have four of them with a 360 degree coverage. most plane are like a light bulb that send jamming around them, so it's less effective)
@@exonys3838 Gripens flew around Libya also doing the RECON missions and they didn't get targeted either, they have their own tricks just like Rafale.
Wasn't it the Raffaele that won over an F22 in a wargame by locking onto it when it was in visual range?
Rafale went to Red Flag in 2008 and lost 2 times to F16s of 309th. So even if it defeated a F22 it proves nothing except nothing is 100% . Rafales got defeated regularly by Mirage 2000s .
@@NATObait Il y a la machine, et il y a le pilote.....
Wargames are just that. I have friends who fly A4s,T38s and Hunters that have "killed" F-16s, F-18s, F-15s and yes F-22s. The training is about teaching the pilot how not to made mistakes. Years ago we had three WWII Vets, all P-51 pilots who spent time with us student pilots. One had a kill on a Me262. The platform is part of the system. The weapons, the tankers, the GCI or AEW, the pilot, the Operations folks and the training. France is going to see that the Rafale buyers can use the Rafale effectively.
@@NATObait2 lost vs...21 win!😂 6 different aircrafts but yeah.. if it makes you feel better😂
@@JPmaxlevel Perhaps the reason why French Rafales don't go back to Red Flag is they want to maintain the illusion of the PR myth.
Rafale is omnirole and cost effective, whereas F35 is more a bomber than a fighter, costs 5% of GDP and all the data is collected by the US ;)
The rafale is more expensive than the F-35. And the only realistic thing that the rafale does better than the F-35 is its multitrole capability.
But, if they were to ever face off, the F-35’s stealth and radar would demolish the rafale.
Also, Serbia just bought 12 rafales and they are going to cost around 3 billion dollars. That’s about 5% of serbias GDP.
Always liked the Rafale. Always considered it as a French version of Eurofighter. If I'm not mistaken EF is a colab of UK, Germany, Spain and Italy. France was probably invited to be part of the EF project and did not want to be part of this because they had Mirages and Rafales back then.
The Rafale is not the French version of the Eurofighter and vice versa. The two aircraft meet different requests, the Eurofighter favoring air superiority while the Rafale is much more versatile. In addition, the Rafale is suitable for use on aircraft carriers while the design of the Typhoon prohibits such use (landing gear, visibility, flight controls). The Rafale is lighter, a political will and of Dassault Aviation to have a cheaper aircraft and facilitate export.
@@paulx9329 U are Half right.....The two aircraft meet different requests is the only thing true.
Rafale and EF are , at the beginning, the SAME program , and a collab of UK , Germany, Spain, Italy and France.
But considering divergence with the developpement , FRANCE QUIT the collab and take the devellopement of his own.....
BOTH programs ( France vs the others ) became opponents .
The funny thing is , FRANCE, Via DASSAULT , MANAGED PERFECTLY the devellopement, and WHEN the RAFALE comes out , the EF was still a Prototype.......
@@lecheyenne62 Before the devellopement of the rafale and the EF, dassault was already working on the mirage 4000 wich is the base of the EF and the rafale.
@@MrChocobo12 Absolutely not.....
Mirage 4000 was a independant program financed by Dassault and refused by French Governement / army.
Indeed he was designed to be " Omny role" like rafale but he was deevlopped to be a HIGH performance Fighter (speed, and payload)
He was just an Experimental plane , and only used to "TEST" some parts of the Rafale , like a test lab .
He has nothing in common with Ef/rafale but more with the mirage 2000 .
It was like a "super" mirage 2000....
@@lecheyenne62 Expertise gained from the prototype influenced a lot the development of teh rafale. Many systems were tested on it. The rafale woulgn't be like this without the mirage 4000

@@Chiga-lt6vq You can look at the countries surrounding Egypt, all of them are destroyed, such as Libya from the east, Sudan and South Sudan from the south, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq from the west, in addition to Yemen, which controls Bab al-Mandab, which controls the Suez Canal, and from the north, American warships and gas in the eastern Mediterranean. All of this is because of Iran, so we must be careful.
There is another factor explaining Rafale’s success: Geopolitics ! Rafale is now become a real alternative to … US planes (F-16, F-18 and F-35). It’s multirole and it also evolved a lot in 40 years. But even in the past, Rafale won a lot a contests, yet countries choose American air-fighters. Why? Today, Rafale is still better but NOW, the US flag is no more the extra guarantee it represented in the past decades. Thanx Trump ? Certainly. But not only. Now the world is more complex. And a European solution might be more neutral. And therefore better ?!
The competition between the F35 and Dassault Rafale is real. Although it is a 4.5 generation aircraft, the Dassault Rafale positions itself on par with the F35. It is certain that the aircraft will surpass the F35 after being upgraded with stealth capabilities, radar avionics and BVR weapons.😊
Doubtful. The Block IV upgrades will make the F-35 a 6th-generation fighter. It would be best if you researched that. North Carolinia University is developing a new stealth material that is a combination of polymers and ceramic materials that can easily withstand high temperatures without degrading.
@@teddyballgame4823 😂 Comparing 2 different generation aircraft is indeed not balanced. But in reality, more and more parties rely on the Dassault Rafale to balance the F35 because the agility and durability of the Dassault Rafale are superior to the F35. You can imagine if both are in a balanced position, especially since stealth technology will soon become a technology that has been mastered by many parties.
@@teddyballgame4823F35 is still a product in development : it has yet to see real combat in various situations, and one thing it is not is a fighter jet. It’s more,a long range bomber, launching its weapons from afar. Any air to air combat and it loses 9 times out of 5.
@@Ellinillard According to multiple reports, the F-35 typically achieves a kill ratio 20:1 in Red Flag exercises. For every "loss" of an F-35, it is credited with destroying 20 simulated enemy aircraft during combat scenarios.
During Red Flag, which ended Friday, Goldfein said the aircraft was "exceeding our expectations when it comes to not only being able to survive but to prosecute targets.” One pilot who flew in the exercise reported that even novice pilots quickly " killed” fourth-generation aircraft during air-to-air combat.
“My wingman was a brand new F-35A pilot, seven or eight flights out of training,” Col. Joshua Wood, 388th Operations Group commander, said in a news release. "He gets on the radio and tells an experienced, 3,000-hour pilot in a very capable fourth-generation aircraft: ‘Hey bud, you need to turn around. You’re about to die. There’s a threat of your nose.’”
The younger pilot “killed” the simulated enemy aircraft and was able to rack up three more kills over the next hour.
Yes, Israel has used the F-35A in combat, including in the air war on Gaza and Lebanon:
Gaza: In July, an F-35 was used in an attack on a designated safe zone in Gaza, killing at least 90 people. Israel has also used F-35s to deliver 2,000 lb bombs in Gaza.
Combat debut: The Israeli Air Force first used the F-35A in combat in 2018.
@@Ellinillard it’s incredible how uneducated the average TH-camr/Reddit poster is. Dude, go google any of the thousands of air to air combat forums and the unclassified answer is all right there.

@@backtotheblak oh god forbid the US has some semblance, a single iota of responsibility to ensure their exported aircraft aren’t being used recklessly or against its foreign policy. Give me a break lmao
@@michaelwu9450 What kind of responsibility did they have in Afghanistan by leaving behind the largest arsenal in history? lmao
Croatia wanted a cheap replacement for its old Migs and so it asks for offers and you always get a better deal if you chat with several people. Israel offered used F16s ( 12 for $500m ) but the US vetoed an export license, maybe because they offered new Block 70 F16 . Sweden pitched Gripen and Rafale eventually won .
When a deal is struck you always hear a figure but reality is blurred by many factors like a loan price, or offset even training of pilots might cost $5m each do you get a maintenance/guarantee package etc. Few countries have endless money like Norway and are deemed reliable to allow export licenses etc. That isn't to say a certain degree of politics comes into play. Seldom is the choice straight forward.
@@backtotheblak great question with an answer that may surprise you.. they already owned it. Yes, the Afghan government already owned, were lended, or given most of that equipment. The Blackhawks, M-16a4s, Humvees, MRAPs, NVGs.. all sold to the Afghan Security Forces to be used against the Taliban.
“That’s what was left behind. Not that the United States just walked away and abandoned a bunch of weapons in a pile in Afghanistan. That's simply not historically accurate.” - John Kirby, U.S. National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications.
For some reason, everyone just loves to skip over this but it’s one of those obvious truths that people are too ashamed to be wrong about lol.
Now, hindsight is obviously 20/20 and if the US would have known that Kabul would fall that fast, I’m sure other options would have been explored. But that’s a whole other argument
The rafaleis theonly fighter jet which was able to shoot down an f22 in a training exercise
The Rafale only gained global respect only and ONLY when the Egyptian air force placed orders for it, with my all do respect you can check the info on the internet from much more trusted sources than me
The rafael gained respect when India chose it in 2012 for its 126 MRFA programme. Contract negotiations fell through and india wasted some years before it ordered 36 units in 2016.

@@ricky1231even.. minimum 7 times the price of the rafale😂😂😂 it is a scam
The operating cost of the rafale is around 20,000 and F-35 is 40,000. But, you also have to consider that the rafale cost 30-40% more than the F-35. With it being around 120 million and the F-35 A being around 80 million. It comes down to mission objectives. If you want a multitole jet that can carry a lot of ordinance, go with the rafale. If you want an air superiority fighter that snipes jets from BVR, go with the F-35.

People on here saying that the Rafale is better than the F-35 are either showing their ignorance, they're a Rafale fanboy or my favorite... Hate for anything US. While it is true that the Rafale is a true workhorse and a great multi role plane, the F-35 will simply fire his missile, turn around and think what else ger has to do while the Rafale piolet is still trying to find the F-35 on radar. There is no competition. The best bet is to catch an F-35 pilot hungover while flying. If he manages to do that and engage in a dogfight, then the Rafale may have an advantage. BUT... that's only until the F-35 gets its new engines. Then, it's bye bye Rafale. And as for those who just hate anything American.... You will be the first to get down on your knees and beg the US to protect you when Russia or China comes for you. Sure, you can say NATO. But who do you think makes up NATO's strength. 90% of NATO's strength is because of the US. I love the hate that we Americans get. keep it up. Those tears taste great!!!
The problem is that you are either an F-35 fanboy or you are ignorant. The Rafale does not need "relative physical stealth" because its stealth comes from its SPECTRA suite which blinds enemy radars and makes dozens of bridges appear on the radar screen that are anything but the Rafale. This is how to make an aircraft "stealthy" without sacrificing its flight capabilities, without costing billions of dollars for non-scalable and already practically obsolete technology.
Say the F-35 fanboy.
If the F-35 fire a missile it lost the stealth.
Stealth is not harry potter's magical cloak of invisibility.
Funny how you are so sure about the Rafale absolutly can't spot the F-35, and also so sure about the EW suit of the Rafale can't do nothing against the F-35.
After the war in Ukraine that the US and NATO caused and already lost. Hardly anyone will ask for your help. Since all those who asked for US help became puppets of the US. When they see how they ended up in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Vietnam, Syria... Your US proxy puppets. Hardly anyone will be crazy to ask for your help, he must be ripe for the madhouse! All of them ended up as fugitives in the US, traitors to their people. Like in Cuba, Vietnam, Afghanistan when you fell out of the plane to escape... Hardly anyone will ask for your help, they would have to be totally crazy! Also, in 90% of cases, no one asked for you, but you occupied some countries or parts of territories, sovereign countries for the sake of your hegemony and benefits, for a military base or for the purpose of stealing resources and installed puppets in power, in the occupied territories. The puppets are mostly terrorists, Nazis ...These are the same ones who previously fell out of helicopters and planes while fleeing. Like in Ukraine, or in the occupied territory of the south of Serbia (Kosovo) ...
As for the F-35, how many of them are actually flying and how many of them are really in good condition, how many of them have already crashed due to a malfunction?! problems with the engine, electronics ... And he didn't even participate in any war?! You call that an airplane?!
The fact that you write that Stealth technology is something special and that it represents some advantage?! Only fools can imagine such nonsense?! The F-177 was shot down over Serbia with the NEVA-125 air defense system from the 50s of the last century! What would you think if your stealth plane ran into some serious air defense system of the latest generation?!
But seriously! we don't hate the Americans, but the Rafale has one of the world's most advanced passive defenses (4 defense systems). it's all very well to fire a missile, but it still has to hit..... moreover, the cost of flying is much lower! for your information, the F-35 says bye bye to it, because the Rafale has Méteor...the best medium-range missile in the world, and its radar is more than worth that of the F-35...so the iron can go fuck itself...
As a french, i have to say that USA are essential to protect West. But they can also rely on Europeans, Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis, Japs and many others that i forget...
Bcz india buy this jet that's the only reason...before india only few want rafale
Abhi toh Aur 26 Aane hai , Doval Sir in FRACE , I hope the deal gets signed before at least Before December.
So expensive
The cost of maintaining the F35 is $42,000/hour, not to mention that the costs of the F35 program have exceeded 2,000 billion.
