https://www.internazionale.it/ultime-notizie-reuters/2026/07/13/ukraine-to-produce-french-missiles-orders-war-planes-macron-saysBut that's not the actually cool part:>Furthermore, he [Macron] announced that Ukraine had received licenses for the production of Aster-30 air-defence missiles (for the SAMP/T air-defence system), AASM-Hammer guided munitions, and SCALP cruise missiles.
Looks nice in UA livery though.
>>65328250>Another fucking 1:72 kit I'm going to have to get of Western aircraft in Ukrainian livery from ICMplease stop my backlog is too much already, I dont even have space to put them when they're done
>>65328165Retard here, why do these jets always take years to deliver? I can see Ukrainian pilots and ground crew need training at least..
>>65328262Training, also I assume the next Rafales to be built have already been purchased by other countries.
>>65328262Because they only make 40 Rafales per year and they have 6+ year backlog. Receiving aircraft in only a couple of years means that France is probably deferring their own orders to get these out sooner.
>>65328165Do we know if its the two seater or the single seater variant?
>>65328250Rafale would possibly be the sexiest jet in the world (by a slim margin) if it weren't for that GOD DAMN MUTANT APPENDAGE on its nose
>>65328318I will prefer Gripen, but Rafale is pretty close
>>65328278>>65328271The goal is 40Current is 26Last year 21Before that sub 12If the India deal actually happens have 140 backlogNo mention of engine lead times or if it requires Indian parts to meet 40
>>65328533Most of the airframes for the India order will be made in India. Only a small portion will be made in France. Though it's more than likely that the deal will just fall through like alot of other French-India defense procurement programs that wanted India to have tech and industril knowledge transfers because of their pajeet retardation and corruption
>>65328533They have 233 backlog as of late last year.https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/dassault-300th-rafale-production-milestoneAlso this is only including India's original order for 62, and not the planned 112 more.
>>653282623ish year turnaround on a new aircraft type is fast as fuck. I’m assuming this has been in the works for a while now
>>65328631Or France is diverting their own aircraft to Ukraine.
>>65328261>laughs in 4 40k armies and a battlemech regiment.
>>653281652029? But the Russians will have taken Druzhkivka by then.
>>65329444It's wild to me there's soon to be 2 million ded and dismembered rusfags for what should have been day 1 objectives 4 years in.
>>65328165> in 2028–2029> Ukraine Lol. Lmao evenThere won't be any Ukraine left to receive itAlso Macron can't participate in next elections and that means his party will be kicked out and replaced by based anti-EU politicians
>french anti-EU politiciando those even exist?
>>65328165It's gonna get its ass kicked again, proving that stealth is the way to go. Mark my words.
>>65328318It is removable, if it makes you feel any better. It's just that for various reasons, nobody removes it.
>>65329493and ´hoow exactly would Russia acquire a stealth aircraft?
>>65329489LePenn and other old-style commie dudeBoth are more popular than Macron
>>65329555It's easy to be popular when you aren't governing.
>>65329567Neither trump nor putin is actually popularWe know for a fact that trumps approval is in the low 30s and even the propaganda numbers in Russia are beginning to slip
>>65329567>Putin popularReally calling the guy feeding random russians into a pointless meatgrinder for 4 years a guy with empathy, kekPost discarded
>>65328318>French pervert is always errectIts just the way things are
>>65329573This is pure bullshit, anon
>>65329503Retarded gotcha attempt, the comparison is not against russia, but against Israel and the US operating over Iran with impunity.
>>65328318>muh fuel probeFixed fuel probes are like a perfectly placed mole in the middle of bosom. Something that on paper shouldn't work but makes me harder than a rock
>>65329650>muh stealthDid you already forget that goat fucker in iran already shot the so called stealth plane?Against a near peer stealth is obsolete.
>>65330911>Against a near peer stealth is obsolete.is this the new third world cope?
>>65329567>Trump is popular
