"Temprano en la mañana del 22 de junio, después de un reabastecimiento de combustible en vuelo en el A400M alemán, los tres combatientes franceses llevaron a cabo un ataque con bombas AASM [Armament Air-Sol Modulaire] guiadas por láser y GPS. , reduciendo así el potencial militar de la organización terrorista ", relata el Estado Mayor de las Fuerzas Armadas [EMA].
Esta vez, el objetivo de la redada fue un conjunto de edificios utilizados por Daesh como "lugar de cama".
Según la EMA, todos han sido destruidos. “Antes del ataque, el apoyo de aviones no tripulados estadounidenses hizo posible controlar el entorno inmediato del objetivo. Las tripulaciones recibieron así la confirmación de que podrían proceder con la destrucción de los objetivos ", especifica.

Named “F4 standard”, this new version of the Rafale will provide collaborative combat capabilities. As part of this project, Atos works on developing the new generation of the aircraft's multi-level gateway (E-SNA[1]), effectively securing connectivity and two-way data exchange between the various onboard communication networks.
The solution provided by Atos addresses key challenges in combat aviation, such as the need to equip aircrafts with cybersecurity systems or safeguarding the continuity of onboard connectivity processes. It is part of a long-term plan to provide combat aircraft capabilities to the Rafale.
Atos' new multi-level gateway is an evolution of the previous onboard Mirage 2000D platform. It enables secure two-way transfer between networks with different levels of security and confidentiality, thus preserving data integrity and security of all onboard connectivity. It allows critical “authorized” intelligence to be safely shared and used at all times, protected against outside intrusion.
Developed, produced and implemented in France, the rugged platform meets common security criteria (EAL3+/EAL4+).

Las empresas de defensa de Francia han encontrado la oportunidad de oro para reanudar las negociaciones con la parte egipcia sobre los acuerdos de defensa estancados, aprovechando la situación actual de tensión entre Francia y Turquía sobre Libia y la actitud egipcia para enfrentar las ambiciones de Turquía.
Francia también está tratando de bloquear el camino en el reciente acuerdo de defensa MEGA, que Egipto tiene la intención de firmar con Italia por más de € 9 mil millones e incluye la venta de 24x Eurofighter Typhoon jets.

Así, el 1 de julio, una patrulla de Rafale que había despegado de la base H5 para una misión de vigilancia en el norte de Irak fue llamada al rescate por las fuerzas iraquíes, que acababan de ver a los yihadistas en la entrada de la cueva. . Después de obtener la luz verde de las autoridades iraquíes y de la coalición, los aviones franceses lanzaron varias municiones, "destruyendo 3 entradas de cuevas y neutralizando a varios terroristas", indica la EMA, que especifica que esta misión "habrá durado 6 horas y requirió varios reabastecimientos en vuelo. "
Las últimas redadas llevadas a cabo por los Rafales franceses habían sido "planificadas", es decir, que habían sido decididas y preparadas sobre la base de la inteligencia.
“A diferencia de las misiones de ataque planificadas, cuando despegamos para este tipo de misión de protección, no sabemos si tendremos que entregar nuestros armamentos. Pero esta tarde, fue necesario intervenir de inmediato en beneficio de la misión terrestre que demuestra la importancia de los medios 'de apoyo', según el término utilizado, pero que preferiría calificar como medios de 'compromiso y ataque inmediato' ” , explica uno de los pilotos de la Fuerza Aérea que participó en esta misión.
El 7 de julio, reabastecido en vuelo por un A400M alemán, dos Rafales hicieron que el polvo volviera a hablar al apoyar nuevamente a las tropas en tierra. Los aviones franceses "dispararon bombas de precisión AASM [armas modulares aire-tierra] con guía GPS para destruir refugios y posiciones defensivas de Daesh", informa la EMA, sin más detalles.

Y tanto. Que le pregunten a India Y de entrenamiento, de infraestructuras, de mantenimiento...
In January 2019, France announced would commit $2.3 billion to develop an F4 generation of the Rafale... This would include production in 2022–2024 of the last 28 of the original order of 180 Rafales, followed by the purchase of an additional 30 Rafales F4.2 between 2027–2030, for a total of 210.
These give the Rafale an estimated Radar Cross Section (RCS) of slightly above one square meters—comparable to peers like the Super Hornet and Typhoon, but orders of magnitude greater than that of the F-35 jet.
Land-based Rafales are currently priced $76–$82 million per plane, only modestly cheaper than the F-35A which benefits from vastly greater economy of scale, though the Rafale’s operating costs are likely lower.
The Rafale is much more agile than the F-35, with superior climb rate, sustained turn performance, and ability to super-cruise at Mach 1.4 while carrying weapons.
[the Rafale] compared to larger fourth-generation twin-engine jets like the Su-35 or F-15, the Rafale can’t fly quite as high (service-ceiling of 50,000 instead of 60,000 ft), and has a lower maximum speed (only Mach 1.8 compared to Mach 2-2.5).
To compensate, the Rafale boasts an advanced Spectra electronic warfare system that supposedly can reduce the Rafale’s cross-section several times over—it is rumored by reflecting back signals using ‘active canceling.’ ... and can even assist Rafale pilots in targeting weapons to retaliate against attackers.
Other key capabilities include sensor fusion of the Rafale’s RBE-2AA AESA, which can track numerous targets over 124 miles away...
...Other systems to be tweaked [in the F4 standard for 2022/24] include the air-to-ground mode of the RBE-2AA radar
with its discrete OSF infrared-search and track system, which has an unusually long range of sixty-two miles. Rafale pilots also benefit from uncluttered instrumentation combining voice command
and can be operated from relatively unprepared airfields, unlike most high-performance jets.
The F4 generation introduces additional network-centric warfare capabilities and data-logistics similar to those on the F-35,... and exchange data using new satellite communications antenna. The pilots also benefit from improved helmet-mounted displays.
The Spectra will receive more powerful jammers and new threat libraries.
Dassault seeks to use “Big Data” technology to develop a predictive maintenance system... cost-efficiently implement preventative repairs.
Other systems to be tweaked include the air-to-ground mode of the RBE-2AA radar, the M88 turbofan’s digital computers, and a new AI-system for its reconnaissance and targeting pod allowing it to rapidly analyze and present information to the pilot. Rafale-Ms will also receive a new automated carrier landing system.
New weapons set for integration most notably an improved model of the Mica, which has a range of forty-nine miles. The Mica can be launched without initially being locked... The Mica-NG model will incorporate new infrared-matrix sensors for better performance versus stealth fighters, carry additional propellant for longer range, and integrate internal sensors to reduce maintenance costs. Its dual pulse motor will allow it to accelerate just prior to detonation for a greater probability of achieving a kill.
For longer range engagements, newer Rafales F3Rs and F4s can launch Meteor missiles which can sustain Mach 4 speeds.
Another weapon set for integration is heavier 2,200-pound variants of the AASM HAMMER. Previously, the Rafale could only carry 485-pound variants of the weapon which can use either GPS-, laser- or -infrared guidance to deliver precise strikes... the HAMMER also incorporates a rocket-motor, allowing it to hit targets up to thirty-seven miles away when released at high altitude.
The Rafale will also be modified to integrate future upgrades of the French SCALP-EG and ASMP-A. Reportedly France may develop a hypersonic AS4NG variant increasing range from 300 miles to over 660 miles.
Currently, the French Armée de l’Air has three Rafale multi-role squadrons and two nuclear-strike squadrons based in Mont-de-Marsan (south-western France), Saint-Dizier (north-eastern France) and al-Dhafra in the UAE. There are also an operational conversion unit and a testing and evaluation squadron.
The French Navy has three Rafale-M squadrons which rotate onboard Charles de Gaulle.
The forthcoming Rafale F4s will progressively replace France’s fourth-generation Mirage 2000s, over 110 of which remain in service today.

A few months ago, we introduced you to the details of the new F4 standard of the French fighter Rafale , produced by Dassault Aviation. In addition to significant improvements in sensors, connectivity and logistics, the Rafale F4 also had to integrate new air-to-air and air-to-ground weaponry. If the MICA-NG and the renovated SCALP are based on known armaments, the 1000 kg AASM developed by Safran is indeed a completely new munition.
For several years now, models of the AASM-1000 have been exhibited at various air shows and exhibitions. Since the launch of the F4 program in January 2019, however, there has been no news of this new powered bomb intended to replace the GBU-24 of American origin under the wings of the Rafale. Until today, however, when a photo of a Rafale equipped with a pair of AASM-1000 was revealed on social networks, in particular on the Twitter account of Defense'Aero.
Respecto al DVI, no tenía ninguno y se estaba desarrollando, ¿podéis confirmarme si la mayoría de los franceses lo tienen? ¿O es para exportación?

Confirma que el RBE2 AESA realmente sólo tiene maduros los modos AA, pero tenía entendido que sí tenía algún modo AS aunque inmaduro (algunos no los tendrá hasta 2024 con la F4 plena).
Los artículos de National Interest no me suelen parecer muy fiables, eso por no mencionar los títulos que utilizan para sus artículos.
La F4 dispone de ella [DVI].
