France’s MoD order 60 additional Dassault Rafale F4 for French armed forces. Tags:Europe 6 comments why are the french taking our jets? It’s a good jet, “completely French”, not at all like the Eurofighter. The Rafale line has to be expanded beyond current capacity right? It’s won soooooo many competitions and I think it will win the IAF MRCA one too. Good on the French. Putin seems to be creating the very world he was afraid of. Is that to replace the Mirage 2000? Presumably those will be exiting service over the next decade or so. Makes sense to take the opportunity given the production lines must be ramping up with recent export success. it’s not enough for 2030. Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
