The Rafale M multi-role fighter in the F3-R standard has reached the stage of full operational readiness. This aircraft is considered one of the most advanced fourth-generation fighters in the world.
The new version of the carrier-based fighter Rafale M-F3-R-has reached the stage of full operational readiness. This is reported by the publication Naval News.
The Rafale M F3-R fighter is similar in its capabilities to the land version of the Rafale in the same configuration. The combination of the state-of-the-art RBE2 active phased array radar (AFAR) and the new METEOR long-range missile provides the vehicle with a confident dominance over almost any fourth-generation fighter.
In addition, the aircraft has extensive capabilities to defeat ground and surface targets. Recall that last year, France successfully tested a new version of the ASMPA nuclear missile, the carrier of which is the Rafale fighter.
Dassault Rafale belongs to the 4++generation. The aircraft made its first flight in 1986. To date, more than 200 of these machines have been built in different versions. In addition to France, these fighters were received by a number of other countries, including India, Qatar and Egypt.
