We will be working with the Dassault Aviation teams to set ourselves the target of delivering four to five Rafales a month from 2026. Sebastien Lecornu
Dassault Rafale - Updates and Discussion
- Thread starter Domobran7
- Start date
UAE needs 2 jets every month (2027-2030), France (2027-2030) and Indonesia (2026-2029) need 1 each. So 3 here.
India (2028-2031), Egypt, and Qatar will need 1 each as well, apart from France continuing their procurement.
The Saudi deal may get delayed or even canceled due to Trump.
But 50 jets a year for at least 5 years will be impressive. All that revenue.
Unit price has gone up quite a bit irrespective of the scale. We could be looking at $150+M for F5.
what is the name of the anti ship missile then?
Because I don't see a SEAD missile in the same weight range than a anti ship one. 200kg versus 600 more or less.
RJ10 can be a family. With an active X/Ku-band seeker and PCB warhead, it will be anti-ship. With passive RF + MMW seeker and PF warhead, it can take out radars. And with an X/Ku-band seeker and PF warhead, it can act as an anti-AWACS AAM.
Each missile type could come with its own range and flight profile. So the SEAD version could have more fuel, longer range, and a smaller warhead for example.
