Don’t forget about the 13ieme Regiment des Dragons Royales. SF unit specializing in behind enemy lines operations such as recon, demolition and other operations in such environments.

I also forgot the 1st RPIMA, which is the successor of the french SAS from WWII.

Couldn’t help yourself and just HAD to take a dig at the Rafale eh, Jacko? Nice.

Has to earn his salary doesn’t he?

Do you live in Italy?

Do you know what’s happening there in addition to what Anglo-Saxon mass media report?

No, you do not. That’s why you say Italy is broke.

Well, with an “ex” goldman sachs in charge, if it ain’t broke yet it’s soon going to be.

So long italian gold. 😡

They probably paid more for it than the USMC paid for all the british harriers ^^

FFS stop it with the “emergency landings in Malta”. Nobody here knows what made the plane land in Malta. For all you know it may have been caused by lack of fuel due to staying to much on station and the unavailability of a tanker on the way back. It could have been anything.

Given this attitude, I have very low hopes of any future Rafale export sales.

Our politicians give away everything that France have. From know how to independance & sovereignty to technologies to the gold of the central bank.

I won’t be sorry if there is at leat one thing they don’t manage to give away, that’s for sure.

I for one don’t think that the Rafale needs a bigger array.

I for one don’t think that the Rafale needs a 90kn engine until the AESA conformal arrays are integrated during MLU.
