French President Emmanuel Macron landed at the "Nikola Tesla" airport in Belgrade, starting his two-day visit to Serbia. He was received at the airport by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic.
During his visit to Serbia, Macron will discuss the economy, health care, energy, culture and artificial intelligence with President Vucic. But the strongest conversation is expected to be about the purchase of "Rafale" planes. Although Macron has on many occasions negotiated for the establishment of peace in Kosovo, it seems that this time he followed his own interest, arming the Serbs, at a time when the fire of the conflict is burning.
But what are the planes that France is expected to give to Serbia?
Dassault Rafale literally means "blast of wind" or "blast of fire" in a more military sense. It is a French twin-engine, delta-wing canard multi-role fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation. Equipped with a wide range of weapons, the Rafale is intended to perform air superiority, interdiction, aerial reconnaissance, ground support, deep strike, anti-ship strike and nuclear deterrence missions.
In the late 1970s, the French Air Force and French Navy were looking to replace and consolidate their existing fleet of aircraft. To reduce development costs and increase future sales, France entered into an agreement with the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain to produce a "European fighter of the future" of. Subsequent disputes over the division of labor and differing demands led to France's pursuit of its own development program. Dassault built a technology demonstrator which first flew in July 1986 as part of an eight-year flight test program, paving the way for project approval. The Rafale is distinct from other European fighters of its era in that it was built almost entirely by one country, including most of France's major defense contractors, such as Dassault, Thales and Safran.
Many of the aircraft's avionics and features, such as direct voice input, the RBE2 AA Active Electronically Scanned Radar (AESA) and the frontal infrared search and track (IRST) sector optronique sensor, have been developed and manufactured locally. for the Rafale program. Originally scheduled to enter service in 1996, the Rafale suffered significant delays due to post-Cold War budget cuts and changes in priorities. The aircraft is available in three main variants: the single-seat Rafale C version, the two-seat Rafale B version and the carrier-based single-seat Rafale M version.
Introduced in 2001, the Rafale is being produced for both the French Air Force and carrier-based operations in the French Navy. The Rafale has been marketed for export to several countries and has been selected for purchase by the Egyptian Air Force, Indian Air Force, Qatar Air Force, Hellenic Air Force, Croatian Air Force, Indonesian Air Force and United Arab Air Force. Emirates Air Force. The Rafale has been used in combat over Afghanistan, Libya, Mali, Iraq and Syria. / Pamphlet
