Want to know the single best aircraft that can beat every Aircraft in terms of Multirole Combat mission? Its the Rafale, from French Dassault Aviation, however the title that looks so big had taken a lot of years to build up.

The year was 1970, when the French Air forces and navy were looking for a replacement for their existing fleet of fighter aircraft's. So that they can upgrade their fleet with new aircraft. During that time itself France entered an Agreement with other European countries to jointly develop what today is called "THE EURO FIGHTER TYPHOON". This was done due to disagreements with Dassault Aviation to Produce their own range of Fighter Aircraft's.

But this is not the End of the Story, Dassault continued testing its Technology demonstrator over a long period of 8 years before finally getting the clearance of the project. And That's basically how the Rafale was Born. There is a long story after that but lets stop it here.

So, now the question arises as to what makes it so special aircraft? Well there are some exclusive features that are only available for the Rafael including the Radar Signature( which basically is like a Stealth feature. It also Has a SPECTRA feature which basically is used for Jamming the enemy's defensive weapons.

Till now There are approximately 175 Rafale's that are Built, and some of Its customers are French Air Force, Qatar Air force, Egypt Air force and Indian Air force( deliveries in Schedule).
