France has a few things to be proud of, including the Eiffel Tower, its wines, its aircraft carrier \"Charles de Gaulle\" and the Dassault Rafale fighter.<\/p>\n
The Rafale made its first flight in 1986 and entered service with the Arm\u00e9e de l'Air in 2001. It is currently the only active naval fighter of European origin<\/strong>, since the French National Navy operates it from the aforementioned aircraft carrier. France bought a total of 294 of these fighters: 234 for the Arm\u00e9e de l'Air and 60 for the Navy.<\/strong> It has also been exported to Greece, Qatar, Egypt and India. Its most recent buyers are Croatia and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n This French fighter has good performance and excellent maneuverability.<\/strong> After all, Dassault Aviation has been building military aircraft since 1947 and has extensive experience building fighters, with models as famous as the Mirage III, the Mirage F-1 and the Mirage 2000<\/strong>, the latter still in service with the Arm\u00e9e de l'Air.<\/p>\n A few weeks ago, the French Rafale Solo Display was at the Danish Airshow 2022<\/a>, an air show organized by the Danish Air Force at Karup Airport, Denmark. A few days ago, PaddyPatrone<\/a> published a video of this exhibition, in which the French fighter made some spectacular maneuvers, showing that its pilot has a bomb-proof stomach:<\/strong><\/p>\n
