Dassault Rafale - Variants, Characteristics, Armament and Performance

Just wanted some confirmation, but is it true the LM 3266 rail is exclusively used for the Rafale? I was recently made aware that the M2K and Rafale use different launch rails for the MICA and wanted to check with ppl that should know more about this.

If you are talking about videos circulating from what people that debunk stuff said, 1 it’s also used on mirage 2k in india and 2 it seems to be old footage anyway as far as i get only plane that is confirmed shot is jf17.

no confirmation

The pictures are from a crash that happened a while ago, its fake news.

@MythicPi In case you saw the pictures of an alleged shot down Rafale

Spoiler

hmm flagged for no reason

Agreed, please keep it to the technical elements related to Rafale, any of the underlying politics or historical reasons are not appropriate for the forum.

look at this sexy beast, they shouldve released it like this, altho the texture artist would prolly be overworked tbh

I have no idea how to make camo, but if you ever do one yourself, that’d be awesome. Especially if you can get them on the market

well i attended the ESMA school so i know a thing or two about texturing =P

not sure id have the time for it though…

The Rafale looks so much better matte black with no refuel arm.


Give it the golden canopy of the F-16C/F-22 and maybe it’ll move up a rank over the EFT. The Gripen E still looks better IMO though.

Especially considering how well the spectra performed in the past engagements

F-2A is also a downgrade from Rafale in most respects

Only Su-57, F-35 and etc

I think the Rafale is a cool plane :)

Seems like I can’t say GBU-10 is a more combat proven air to air weapon than Meteor anymore.

Thanks a lot Rafale

That was a joke
