The Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) is the air arm of the armed forces of the state of Qatar. In May 2015, the QAF awarded a contract to Dassault for 24 Rafale fighters to replace its inventory of Mirage 2000s. In December 2017, it ordered 12 additional Rafales with an option to purchase 36 more.
Designed as a result of the ACX (Avion de Combat Experimentale) program prior to France's withdrawl from the EFA project, the Rafale was first flown on July 4th, 1986. The Rafale is multi-role fighter for the Franch Air Force and Navy, capable of handling missions from reconnaissance to air supremacy to nuclear deterrence. The Rafale built on Dassault's expertise with delta-winged fighter design, adding a forward canard to improve maneuverability and reduce approach speeds for carrier operations. The Rafale's advanced avionics and and limited stealth capabilities are expected to secure it as the primary combat aircraft for the French Air Force and Navy until at least 2040. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
