Average age ~14 years. So these are some of the oldest Rafales, with almost half of their nominal 30yr service life already used up. Given the typical 240-250 flight hours per year in French service, they should have used up roughly 3,500hrs of their nominal 7,000hr service life (on average), though an extension to 9,000hrs may be possible.


The second batch of 6 used Rafales will be delivered in the 2nd half of the year or early 2023.
