It’s powered by the new-generation M88-2 turbofan engine, which offers a high thrust-to-weight ratio while also being easier to maintain, and it features an advanced digital flight control system that claims to provide the highest level of the flight system.Ī versatile, multi-role fighter jet, the Rafale is just as effective for air defense as it is for reconnaissance and nuclear deterrence. The Rafale airframe integrates innovative composite materials, which increase the maximum take-off weight to empty weight ratio by 40%, compared to conventional aluminum and titanium airframes. The Rafale, which entered service with the French Navy and the French Air Force in 20, respectively, is a big step forward in terms of performance and capabilities. In fact, it comes as a culmination of their 45-year-long strategic connection, based on several fighter jet versions from the Mirage family. This new collaboration between France and the UAE Federation is certainly not new. I would like to reaffirm our total commitment to the success of the Rafale in Greece, said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation.
It will play an active role by securing Greece’s leadership as a major regional power. On the other hand, this also consolidates Dassault’s position in the industry, as the main contractor for both military and civilian aircraft, over the past 70 years. The Rafale is a Strategic Game Changer for the HAF. This agreement will have a huge beneficial impact on the country’s industry, considering that no less than 400 smaller and bigger companies are connected to the Rafale production process. A total of 80 Rafale F4 will be delivered to the UAE AF, making this the largest contract ever signed in the military aeronautics industry of France. Long after the streets emptied that chilly winter evening in December 1981, lights were burning on the fifth floor of Vayu Bhavan in the elite Operations Branch of the Indian Air Force. What Dassault calls “a historical contract” was signed in the presence of Emmanuel Macron, the President of the French Republic, and Sheikh Mohammed ben Zayed Al Nahyane, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.

It’s official – the first armed forces to deploy the Rafale F4 outside France are the United Arab Emirates Air Force & Air Defense (UAE AF & AD).
