ОБЗОР СИСТЕМЫ

French twin-engine, canard-delta wing omnirole combat aircraft by Dassault Aviation. The F4 standard (2024+) introduces the RBE2-XG AESA radar, new helmet-mounted display, Meteor BVR missile integration, SATCOM, and connectivity with drones/remote carriers. The F5 standard (development) focuses on next-gen nuclear deterrence (ASMPA replacement) and AI-assisted sensor fusion. Carrier-qualified (Rafale M) for Charles de Gaulle. Over 250 delivered to France with major exports to Egypt, India, Greece, Qatar, UAE, Indonesia, and Croatia. Combat-proven in Libya, Mali, Iraq, and Syria.

Rafale F4/F5 - Dassault Aviation / Thales Group / Safran
ПРЕИМУЩЕСТВА
  • True omnirole capability: air superiority, strike, nuclear, maritime, recce in single sortie
  • SPECTRA EW suite provides best-in-class self-protection
  • Twin-engine design enhances survivability and carrier operations
  • F4 standard adds AI-assisted sensor fusion, Meteor integration, and connectivity
  • Combat-proven in Libya, Mali, Iraq, Syria with high sortie rates
  • Carrier-qualified (Rafale M) for Charles de Gaulle operations
НЕДОСТАТКИ
  • Not a 5th generation stealth design — higher RCS than F-35 or J-20
  • Smaller international user base limits economies of scale
  • M88 engines produce less thrust than F-22 F119 or Su-35 AL-41
  • F5 nuclear development may slow conventional upgrade pace
