Pourquoi le Rafale inquiète autant les Américains

Thanks to Mammouth AI, access all the best AI on the market for just €10 per month: https://mammouth.ai/ Business collaboration with Mammouth AI Long considered too expensive, too complex, and impossible to sell, the Rafale has become one of France's greatest industrial successes. More than 500 aircraft have now been ordered, the majority for export, and Dassault boasts a record order book. But the Rafale is not just a fighter jet. It is also one of the few Western aircraft that a country can purchase without placing its entire defense under the control of the United States. Software, maintenance, weaponry, export licenses: behind every military contract lies a true battle for sovereignty. This video revisits the turbulent history of the Rafale: France's withdrawal from the European program in 1985, the years of commercial failure, the first Egyptian contract, the French industrial chain, the competition with the F-35, and the reasons why this aircraft is such a thorn in Washington's side… and now Beijing's. Is the Rafale simply a commercial success, or proof that France can still maintain its independence in strategic sectors?
