The research and development in rafale fighter lasted 15 years.

Rafale fighter is the latest generation fighter jointly designed by Europe, an important achievement of European military cooperation and one of the outstanding representatives of European aviation industry. Rafale fighter's design concept is to take aviation technology as the core, combined with advanced digital technology, so that this fighter has the characteristics of high efficiency, intelligence and flexibility, and has strong tactical advantages and battlefield adaptability.

Rafale fighter is a multi-mission and multi-role fighter launched by European aviation industry. It not only has advanced airborne weapon system and airborne radar system, but also can be equipped with a variety of new weapons, such as missiles, missile warheads and various time-sensitive weapons, with strong strike and kill capabilities. In addition, rafale fighter has advanced reconnaissance system and combat capability against air, ground and sea, which can respond quickly in complex battlefield environment and effectively deal with all kinds of hostile actions.

Rafale fighter has adopted advanced digital technology, which can efficiently process and analyze information. Its operating system and control system all adopt the latest digital technology, which enables the fighter to respond quickly with high precision and accuracy, which is of great significance for fighting in complex maneuvering environment. In addition, European fighters also have superior maneuverability and high-quality air combat capability, which can perform high-intensity combat missions in the air and have extremely high survivability.

Rafale fighter is a fighter plane jointly designed by Europe. Its research and development began in 2003. * * * Five European countries participated in the R&D and manufacturing of this project, including Britain, France, Germany, Spain and Italy, among which France and Britain have greater R&D rights and manufacturing rights. The development of European fighter took 15 years, and finally it was officially launched in 2020. It is expected to become the main fighter type of EU countries in the next few decades.

Rafale fighter's R&D and manufacturing costs are huge, and a fighter needs to invest billions of dollars. Moreover, because the project integrates aviation technology and resources from many countries, the cost is more complicated. Eurofighter is not only a military project, but also an industrial project, involving all aspects of technology and resources in the aviation field. In order to launch this fighter as soon as possible, EU member states not only actively negotiated at the political level, but also carried out extensive cooperation at the technical and economic levels. The research and development of rafale fighter is of great significance to the aviation industry and scientific and technological development of EU member states.

However, the launch of rafale fighter also faces some difficulties and challenges. First of all, the cost of European fighters is extremely high, and the current international situation is unstable, and the military expenditures of many countries are limited, so the sales of this fighter are facing no small difficulties. Secondly, technical challenges cannot be ignored. Rafale fighter has adopted the latest digital technology and airborne weapon system, which requires higher professional quality of its employees and stricter requirements for its production environment and technical equipment. If the relevant technology and quality of European fighters cannot be guaranteed, they will also face many difficulties in future combat missions.

In a word, rafale fighter jointly designed by Europe is an outstanding representative of European aviation industry, an important achievement of European military cooperation and an important milestone in the development of aviation industry and science and technology in EU member States. This will provide a solid guarantee for the security and defense of EU member states. The launch of Rafale fighter is the result of the development of aviation industry and science and technology in EU member States, and it also reflects the determination and desire of EU member States to promote European integration.
