The production of the 300th Rafale has been completed by Dassault Aviation, marking a significant milestone for the French aerospace giant. The company has involved 400 French companies in the Rafale program and has received firm orders from France and eight export customer countries. According to Dassault Aviation, the first Rafale units became operational in 2004 and 2015 for Egypt. With production rates planned to increase to 4 aircraft per month, the company is expected to deliver 233 examples of the Rafale aircraft yet. The Rafale program has been a cornerstone of France’s industrial and military sovereignty, thanks to the critical technologies developed and export successes achieved.
