Dassault Rafale NEWS ONLY

[tyrin]

What are the odds that the Saber is a modified SCALP design (With France supplying the design)?

Pretty low, many of the engineers who are involved have experience developing cruise missiles.

Denel had MUPSOW, TORGOS, and Raptor programs running and many of the principal and senior engineers at EDGE were involved in them in the 90s and early 2000s.

Go to post #447 on Stand-off Weapons and PGMs on this forum where we discussed this a bit

By no means a small company and with many engineers at high levels with 20 or 30 years of experience

Ok, ... then back to NEWS ONLY, as the title says.
We had lowered this requirement quite a while again, but it obviously doesn't work.

So, as the title implies, please only post NEWS here, without personal comments or opinions.

#galgot: With around 400 posts every day, or more, it's clearly not possible to read all, deleting or
editing a post generally is a result of a report.

It looks like France is considering the deployment of ASMP armed Rafales to Germany, from Defense Updates:

France is reportedly exploring the option of stationing air-launched nuclear weapons in Germany, driven by increasing worries that the United States may not continue to assure European security within NATO. According to a report in the British newspaper The Telegraph, which cites an unnamed French official, “Posting a few French nuclear jet fighters in Germany should not be difficult and would send a strong message” to Russia.

France, with its arsenal of approximately 290 nuclear warheads, is uniquely positioned to extend its nuclear deterrence eastward.

In this video, Defense Updates reports the possible deployment of French nuke-armed fighters in Germany.
