Dassault Rafale B, Armée de l’Air (French Air Force) 341 / 113-FH (c/n 4J-17) and Rafale C 142 / 113-GU (c/n 142) in its special “Thundertiger” livery both of Escadron de Chasse 1/7 "Provence at the NATO Tiger Meet 2014, Schleswig-Jagel Air Base (ETNS) Germany. (photo 7170-2).

Escadron de Chasse 1/7 "Provence" is based at Saint-Dizier (BA 113). It became a member of the NATO Tiger Association after the Tiger Flight of EC 1/12 (one of the founding members of the NATO Tiger Association) was transferred to EC 1/7 after the disbandment of EC 1/12 ‘Cambrésis’. This squadron operated the Sepecat Jaguar until its replacement by the Rafale in 2005. (source: www.natotigers.org)

On the Rafale (Wikipedia): The Dassault Rafale multirole fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation. With a high level of agility the Rafale is intended to perform air supremacy, interdiction, reconnaissance, and nuclear strike missions.

Many of the aircrafts avionics and features, such as direct voice input, the RBE2 AA active electronically scanned array radar and the Optronique secteur frontal infra-red search and track sensor, were domestically developed and produced for the Rafale programme. Originally scheduled to enter service in 1996, the Rafale suffered significant delays due to post-Cold War budget cuts and changes in priorities. The aircraft is available in three variants: Rafale C single-seat land-based version, Rafale C twin-seat land-based version, and Rafale M single-seat carrier-based version.

Introduced in 2001, the Rafale is being produced for both the French Air Force and for carrier-based operations in the French Navy. While the Rafale has been marketed for export to several countries, it has only been selected for purchase by the Indian Air Force. The Rafale has been used in combat over Afghanistan, Libya, Mali and Iraq; features such as the SPECTRA integrated defensive-aids system have been crucial advantages in Libya. Several upgrades to the weapons and avionics of the Rafale are planned to be introduced by 2018.
