166 delivered out of 234 ordered (france only obviously)
Look at the first reply under the image
Just to clarify this not Dassault Marketing, this is fan made
From what i heard now, the production of the Rafale is fully booked for the 7 next years

Thread going off topic because some US fans got offended by a fanmade poster… Meanwhile they’ll brag ultra hard at any US valorising poster, be it official or fan made. This thread is about Rafale, the poster was about Rafale meanwhile the convo that came from the poster is almost full off topic.
export numbers are a bit harder to come by, but in total it is currently 507 aircrafts ordered, of which 266 were delivered
Yet in past 4 years, they are outselling everything.
This is a Dassault Rafale thread. Lets avoid discussing the F 35 here. It is getting off topic.

Oh do I have news for you
not much is known, but from what is “public” :
good old classic jamming, LWR, RWR, automatic countermeasure deployment, (but those are old tech by now)
Jamming/threat detection is most likely 2-40 GHz
And, unconfirmed as well but very likely : it can fire a missile with the RWR only

Firing with RWR is actually hilarious

For the US DASSs or spectra for the rwr claim? I’ve heard of it for alr-94 (and logically would apply to asq-239)
Rafale TV sensor should provide firing capability for MICA-EM

It’s apparently possible lol, been mentioned in reports for US ECM systems
Wait so you could laser-guide a ARH missile? I’m in
laser gives range, TV sensor gives heading, so technically the same data a radar would give
That data is then fed to the FCS and a MICA EM, IR or Meteor can be fired just like if it was the radar

Sensor fusion is a wonderful invention
As far as I know; total export orders currently at ~260 Rafales (new aircraft)
- Indonsia: 42
- Qatar: 36
- France: ~50 (+ renovation of older airframes to F.4)
- India: 36 F.4
- Greece: 12
- UAE: 80
So yea XD

So essentially, silent MICA-EM in a way?
No, bc missiles seeker would give it away
