It was another thread about it with everyone confirming it and looking at every possibility so it may not be the right one, i can’t find it back.

This picture alone doesn’t seem very conclusive. The comments below claim anything from a meteor, to an AMRAAM or even a python.
Problem is, this thread looks full of pakistani and Indian, so it’s misinformation land.
Thanks for sharing it tho, it’s the first time I hear of it

We do know that India released a video showing Rafale’s loadout for what appears to be Rafales with loadouts, no Meteor was shown on this loadout, just MICA-EM and MICA-IR
My only suspicion is that the meteor fins have a much steeper slope compared to the fin shown in the image.
Do you have images of the same display in French service with Meteors onboard? Just wondering what else those could be.

Cool, maybe an Indian native weapon of some kind then.
I haven’t seen any Indian native weapon integrated on any of their Rafales or any foreign weapons at all for that matter, although work is being done currently by both UAE and India to integrate their weapons. And usually the displays pretty much follow what would be the dimension outlines of said missiles accurately. For example Magic missiles also use their own models rather than the MICAs.
As far as i understand the soon to be signed deal will integrate indian weapons, right now there isn’t any additionals integrated weapons for indian rafale.
I can see it being one of two things, either it is Meteor and the symbology is somewhat updated on the Indian Rafales. Or its a native weapon.
It doesn’t look like any French weapon I know of?
It’s the MICA, the symbology is the same for all different displays for the MICA, the outline follows the MICA as well.
If it was Saudi. I’d almost wonder if it was ALARM. It almost looks like it. But it cant be that obviously
Sorry I mean this one;
Not the MICA’s
Storm Shadow / SCALP I think

I suppose would otherwise clash with the model of the fuel tanks
Now I’m curious what Eurofighter display of SCALP looks like

Exocets are carried centrally like in your picture and not on wings, so it can’t be Exocets
Solid question, don’t know if I’ve ever seen the weapons display with it carried. I’d imagine somewhat similar to this but I’ll keep looking;
Edit;
Its easier to find twin AMRAAM then it is to find StormShadow/SCALP images of the MFDs;
