F4 brings the networking, f5 has better radar, engines and wingman control
French Dassault Rafale F4 and F5 Standards: Next-Gen Connectivity, Drone Ops, and Strike Precision
Equipped with the Thales RBE2 XG radar and helmet-mounted displays, the F4 upgrade boosts situational awareness and data fusion for seamless coordination with allied forces. F5 standard, expected post-2033, will integrate hypersonic ASN4G missiles for nuclear deterrence.www.grosswald.org
Solid fighter, glad France is having production issues. My guess setting up an entire new line in India will add 4-5 years onto any timeline, then add another 1-2 years for fighters to be made.
No chance of a new plane till around 2032-2034. Add HAL screwing up as they do, you may be looking at 2035 for a new Rafale being inducted.
This would be like PAF building and inducting F-7PGs today.
