Dassault Rafale

The Dassault Rafale is a true 'omnirole' 4.5-generation fighter designed to perform air superiority, interdiction, reconnaissance, and nuclear deterrence missions from both land and aircraft carriers. Its key strength lies in its exceptional sensor fusion, centered on the RBE2 AESA radar and the integrated SPECTRA electronic warfare/defensive system, which provides outstanding situational awareness and survivability. With no dedicated variants, every Rafale is capable of all missions. Its recent export success with nations like India, UAE, and Greece underscores its effectiveness, versatility, and lower logistical footprint compared to larger twins.
