What did i tell just after. If you try touching a premium airframe (F5 and F20 are of that domain), so to say, a way to make money… There is almost a 100% chane gaijin will cancel you.
I apologize for asking the question once again.
It’s a 2014 article and there’s a picture of a MICA mounted under-wing hardpoints, so I was wondering if it’s really only possible on F4 and later.

It was done for testing purposes and occured only on Rafale F3-4 or F3R standards if we get F3.2 theoriccally 8 missiles would be impossible but considering gaijin policy on weapons F3.2 might benefit from the 8 missiles loadout if someone reports it or if gaijin is kind enough to give it default when the plane comes. But don’t expect it too much.

I understand your answer
Thank you!
Originally the 4 Meteors + 2 MICA was a limitation for standards before the F4.1 as you had only 6 missiles pylons and that meteor were installed on 4 of them. Now 4 Meteors + 4 MICA should be possible on F4.1 it’s just it hasn’t been seen on official display for now. Only on a few mockups and stuff not as real payloads.

Sadly, unknown helmet mounted display for Rafale F1 ~ F3.3
French Rafale F4.1 ~ F5 used Scorpion HMCS
Besides what has already been said about this, this specific Rafale (C) is a testbed similar to the IPA Eurofighters, even though this one lacks some parts of SPECTRA and possibly more.
It can be recognized by the missing identification markings below the cockpit and the “nose” tube.

Rafale EH should be a French Squadron or Premium later down the line (As in when something like F3R/F4.1 exists, that much later) Never to UK, who’s always demanding for more, more, more, of other nation’s things

I couldn’t tell you about this, in the future depend on gaijin
I presume early aircraft pre-order rank 9 for france in 3 years it might Rafale M F2 Early (Marine nationale) or Rafale B F3 Early (Armée de l’air et de l’espace)
There is so much rafale variants that some might end up as event for France too, i want my serbian rafale with r77 and r27 too.
Waiting for some nation to use amram with rafale (that won’t happen).
Yes, so you contradict yourself in the same paragraph. Hence my comment.
Where did you saw that?

Does the Rafale fighter jet have the capability to carry the AS30L missile?
Is there any mistake in the loadout diagram I found earlier?
There is a lot wrong with this and entirely made up.

I didn’t saw any articles going into much details about the loadout, only video mentionning that was this one (in french).
For simple main condition about accepting the deal for Serbia was that rafale would use r77 and r27 because they had lot of them.
Those rafale some are b and other are c variant and those are f4.1. (Old articles mentionned f3 but most recent one only mentionned f4.1)
I tried to find some articles talking about it but i can’t most are paywalled, the company elbit is mentionned in some as it is the one that will make the compatibility with those missiles.
Serbia purchase Rafale F3.3 or F3-R standard ?
f4.1 standard
Not second hand Rafale F3 ?
