Dassault Rafale is a french twin-engine, based on close coupled canard delta wing design.
Rafale can perform “Omnirole” as Air dominance, interdiction, aerial reconnaissance, Ground support, deep strike in enemy territory with lethal weapons support, anti-ship strike and nuclear detterance missions.
Now i particularly talk about Indian specification enhancements as per we wanted the fleet for rafale. Let’s start:
India ordered Rafale DH – twin seater version of IAF, tail or fin or vertical number symbolize RB001, RB002, RB003, RB004 on the name of current CAS Rakash kumar singh bhadauria. Rafale EH – single – seat version of IAF symbolize BS001, BS002, etc on the name of Former Air chief marshal Birendra Singh Dhanoa.
Now talk about this aircraft Lethal specifications and activities and major components that makes him deadly weapon
Starting from common specifications:
Maximum takeoff weight :24,500 kg
Maximum speed: 2223 km/hr
Combat range: 2000 km/hr with two SCALP-EG anti-ship air to surface missile and two MICA Air-to-air missile
Gravitational limits: +9
This impeccable machine with 4.5+ generation gives us a major air dominance in indian airspace. We are facing odds to the challenges in past narrative confronting with two adversaries one is in right and second one is on the left perhaps theses two understated with our flying warriors, example it was a time of late September 1965 sqn ldr devaiah gunned down advanced jet of US F-104 starfighter with a Dassault mystere IV DEFA cannons fired continuously guiding with Gyroscopic Gun Sight. We didn’t recognize that time because we don’t have AWACS to identify the track is vanishing on the panel so i want to drives this statement that man behind the machine is so important than the aircraft he trained for although. posthumously he (sir) was awarded by MVC mahavir chakra that was confirmed by some Fricker’s work agency of UK that he gunned down one aircraft after 23 yrs he was rewarded.
During this modern warfare we keen to have a medium weight category aircraft as per demands of fleet of MIG 21 and MIG 27 phasing out under MMRCA deal. Now the question’s arises how it can make unilateral difference, I believe it makes psychological, barrier and inciting approach to the enemies due to its firepower and rubber stamp of METEOR and Nuclear detterance missile. This aircraft changing the face of IAF in coming years during peace time and war time. We have to keep in mind that we are adding fleet with existing stays of multirole not as Air Superiority is remains only one Heavy weight category that is Su-30MKI.
Dassault name signifies the national heroes with a water mark of any warzone battle includes these fleet: Mystere IV, Ouragons (Toofani), Mirage 2000,now Presently Rafale right from the beginning.
