The Rafale C is the single-seater version for the Air Force with characteristics that allow it to carry out all kinds of missions (omnirole). Thanks to its external payload capacity of 9,500 kg and its versatile weapons system, the Rafale C can in fact carry out very diverse missions that previously required the use of different specialized aircraft: air superiority and defense, ground support, long-range strikes, aerial reconnaissance, anti-ship strikes, nuclear deterrence, etc. In service with the French Air Force since 2006, the Rafale has proven itself in combat in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom), Libya (Operation Harmattan) and more recently in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel-Saharan strip (Operation Serval), but also in Iraq and Syria from Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (Operation Chammal). In addition, the Rafale was exported to Egypt, Qatar and India. Important Warning: This is not a toy, but a detailed scale replica intended for adult collectors.
