@waiyao9s9s: Dassault Rafale multi-purpose fighter, a fourth-generation and a half (4++ generation) fighter. Developed by Dassault of France. This model has excellent multi-purpose capabilities and can perform tasks such as air control, ground attack, anti-ship, reconnaissance and nuclear deterrence. India purchased 36 Rafales for US$8.8 billion in 2016, with a unit price of US$250 million, far exceeding the price of the fifth-generation F-35 in the same period. The purchase is intended to replace old MiG-21 and other models and strengthen air superiority over China and Pakistan, but the actual performance is controversial, and in some exercises it is even inferior to India's Su-30MKI in service. Russian experts believe that when facing the domestic J-16 or J-20, the Rafale is at a disadvantage in speed, range and electronic warfare. Pakistan's J-10C is equipped with PL-15E missiles (range 145 kilometers) and advanced radars, which suppressed the Rafale in the confrontation in 2025, highlighting its technical shortcomings. #4++generation #DassaultRafalefighter #Fighter #Militaryscience #Militarytechnology #Aviation
