    Premier vol opérationnel d’un Rafale F3-R équipé de 2 missiles Meteor

    L'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace a effectué le 4 mars son premier vol opérationnel avec un Rafale équipé de 2 missiles Meteor. L'intégration du missile Meteor entre dans le cadre de la montée en puissance du Rafale F3-R de Dassault Aviation. Le missile Meteor, développé par MBDA, est propulsé par un statoréacteur pilotable qui lui apporte vitesse, portée et manoeuvrabilité terminale. Son intégration « apporte une allonge considérable dans le combat air-air, avec une portée estimée à une centaine de kilomètres », précise Aerobuzz. Son emploi se conjugue à celui du radar RBE2 AESA à antenne active, capable de détecter et désigner des cibles à cette distance. La prochaine étape pour le Rafale en matière de missile concerne l'intégration du MICA de nouvelle génération avec le standard F4, dans les années 2023-2024. Air & Cosmos et Aerobuzz du 9 mars
