No. Why would some someone carry-on with large fins when efficient carriage inside a WB dictates to minimize them? Fins are draggy, bulky and add complexity to your logistics. The less the better when you can rid of them. Is the Mica a super alpha missile? No. Is the Mica a super long range missile that use glide boost better than others? No.

There is no secured satcom on the Rafale until 2024/2025 with block 4.2. Air International has a series of article on the Rafale F3R* in its June edition coupled with a report on the Gripen E. Quite interesting to read and compare to get a clear picture about who has what or not.

*as well as future block 4.1&4.2

I think you are mixing the challenges b/w discrete beyond line of sight communication and broadband (encrypted as an option) satcom.

To complete missions in denied airspace, pilots need a way to share information securely, without revealing their location to enemy forces. The F-35 has incorporated Northrop Grumman’s MADL into its missions systems to provide pilots with the ability to connect with other planes and automatically share situational awareness data between fighter aircraft. The MADL is a high-data-rate, directional communications link that allows for the secure transmission of coordinated tactics and engagement for 5th Generation aircraft operating in high-threat environments. The MADL is one of 27 different waveforms in the F-35’s communication, navigation and identification (CNI) suite.

On the same trend, I am not sure that F-35 can interface with Android..

UAE to get 3x Kc-46A

thank you for the heads up. If true that would be quite a surprising news anyway… and perhaps in line with President Trump new policy to subsidize US made weapon for certain country in EU that are stuck with Russian harware.

Hill AFB F-35s, Airmen deploy to Europe as part of Theater Security Package

HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah (AFNS) —
The Air Force has deployed one squadron of F-35A Lightning II fighter jets, Airmen and associated equipment to Aviano Air Base, Italy, from the 388th and 419th Fighter Wings, at Hill AFB, Utah, to participate in exercises and conduct training with other Europe-based aircraft as part of a Theater Security Package.

Funded through the European Deterrence Initiative, the TSP provides a more robust U.S. military rotational presence in the European theater capable of deterring adversaries and assuring partners and allies of U.S. commitment to regional security. The F-35s and members of the 421st and 466th Fighter Squadrons arrived at Aviano AB, May 24 and will remain in Europe for several weeks.

“The entire 421st ops and maintenance team are extremely excited for this deployment,” said Lt. Col. Richard Orzechowski, 421st Fighter Squadron commander. “As the final 388th Fighter Wing squadron to transition to the F-35A, we’ve been able to leverage the experience of the 4th FS and 34th FS and take the squadron on the road just six months after getting our first jets. We are really looking forward to continuing the cohesion built with our allies and partners. It is a real privilege to get the seasoning, training and life experiences for our 388th and 419th FW Airmen.”
