Dassault Aviation Rafale B

The Dassault Rafale is a French twin-engine omnirole fighter; the Rafale B is the two-seat land-based variant used for training and complex missions while remaining combat-capable. Rafale integrates advanced radar, SPECTRA electronic warfare, and a wide weapons catalog for air-to-air, air-to-ground, and nuclear deterrence roles in French service. Export customers operate related standards tailored to national requirements. Compared with single-seat Rafale C and carrier-capable Rafale M, the B adds a second cockpit without abandoning front-line tasking. The family is central to French expeditionary airpower and a major European combat-aircraft program.
