The Rafale-M is such a beautiful fighter. It is agile and powerful, yet small in overall size. But for a small fighter, it sure packs a lot of capability. These aircraft, along with the French sailors that fly and maintain them, are as good as any carrier borne force in the world. I'm glad they are on our side. I hope that someday soon they can have two carriers so that at least one is always available for operations.
We have always been allies despite our differences its not going to change. From France respectfully
Indian air force has Rafale fighters
france prepares its next carrier for 2035 with the new 6 th generation fighter for 2035 too. we won't have 2 carriers , may be 2 carriers but not a long time , the carrier cdg will be at the end in 2035 .

Rafale has a very smooth approach
Yeah the Rafale use an electronic device who stabilize it just before landing.
low wing loading delta - better handling than F/A-18s at low speed and nose up ( high angle of attack)
@@LokeshMeena-je4qb the other advantage from the Delta wing ist the phenomenal load capability: the Rafale is able to load more weight as he's empty weight...And in dog fight allow the delta wing very brutal manouvers: it's not for nothing that the advanced dogfight training aircraft use in the USA are Israëlian Kfir, who are evolutions from the old Dassault Mirage 5...very difficult to catch in dog fight...
@@leneanderthalien yea but the delta bleeds energy at high aoa thus leading to less sustained turn rate.

That ending is beautiful. This was a great experience for both countries. Very happy for you France, operating your own top of the line nuclear carrier.
From many other people i met
From differents countries
You're the only one that doesn't insult us
By saying f35 better than rafale even if they hasn't the same roles or other things
Idk which country you're from but thanks
May you have a nice day
This is so cool! Absolutely love the interoperability between US, UK and French forces. Can't wait to see our QE class carriers side by side with the French and US fleets.
Exercises like this are so incredibly awesome. I await that moment as well. :)
I can’t wait 🇬🇧
Does anyone know what date Queen Elizabeth is leaving Portsmouth for America ? 🇬🇧🇬🇧
The 3 blue fleets who rule the world.
QE is, with all respect, pretty rubbish compared to Nimitz/Ford/Charles De Gaulle class carriers...
A ship that big without nuclear power and catapults...it makes very little sense.
If you're gonna go for STOVL, you don't need such a big ship
0:53 A Rafale is so lightweight, you can hold it back by the tip of your finger!
Noice
lol
They can be heavy too if they carry
-Two external fuel
-misilles
-bombs
-nuke
But lightweight jet can be an advantage for reaching a certain speed

Rafale is the best
Love & respect from India to France & USA
Merci beaucoup pour le partage de cette vidéo, de bien belles images 👍😉🇫🇷
I know that military planes are function over form, but damn, the Rafale is definitely a supermodel.
At 0:52 it looked like the crewman was touching the tip of Rafael jet nose tip..and then let it go.
(Optical illusion)
N. Roy rafale, its rafale, wtf even is rafael
@@fmsorpa6510 yes people often get confused in Rafale's spelling.
"Rafale" is a jet build by Dassault whereas "Rafael" is an Israeli defense technology company.
It's because when you write rafale on an English kboard , the automatic spelling option will choose Rafael if you don't choose the word rafale yourself.
Statue of Liberty a gift from France. From the revolution on, these are two good buddies, usa glad to be one of the allies helping her in WW1 and 2.
@High school Hottie, The French made a major contribution to the independence of the United States during the 1775 war, with the most famous Marquis de La Fayette, but there was also the Viscount of Rochambeau, the Count of Estaing and the thousands of officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers who came from France to fight the English on the territory that would become America or more precisely the USA !
The Statue of Liberty, offered by France and the French to the United States, was originally a gift to celebrate Franco-American friendship and the centenary of American independence.
It is therefore important to go back through history from the beginning to understand the links that unite our two countries, and why the USA intervened in the two world conflicts (14/18 and 39/45), even if for the latter, the USA had a very "wait-and-see" attitude and that it was only after Pearl Harbor's attack that the government decided to enter the world conflict, whereas the population at the time was not mainly in favour!!
Ww1 amerivan soldier was 2 😂 but thank you for ww2
this was great to see, thanks for posting!
long live mighty France, and long live the good ol US of A.
God bless America and Vive la France !
This kind of stuff I can watch over and over all day long. Carrier ops + aircraft diversity, ultimate combo
Wow that was so cool seeing the Rafale catapult and the arrested landings, a beautiful fighter jet. Thanks for sharing this it's great seeing multinational naval exercises.
Love the Rafale. Such a sexy fighter! Absolutely beautiful jet.
Two of the most beautiful fighter jets to ever fly, flying side by side brings a tear to my eye.
C'est un bonheur de voir notre bel oiseau de combat en coopération sur ce porte-avions de belle taille ! Que dieu bénisse les hommes de bonne volonté !
In case of a coalition operation it is good for foreign maritime forces to know how to operate from the US carrier. While no ship is 100% safe in a warzone, the US carrier is going to be the largest, most protected, most available (by size and by number) landing surface in the theater.
Franco-American love

Rafale pilot be like: that was the easiest aircraftcarrier landing ever
lol he caught the 1 wire that bad
@@FatOnAxis hi friends, Thinh probably said that because French Aircraft Carrier CDG is 50 to 100 meters shorter than US ones.
Don't know about wires and stuff like that tho.
Respect from France.
@@julmar9153 Fair enough I'm not a pilot so I don't get to judge
This pilot deserves all the applause ! Fantastic 👍
the rafale would be so perfect for an us carrier. We should let one rafale all day every day for nice video and fun
SUPER!un grand MERCI venu de France,Amitié
Rafale is the best 🧡❤
A really nice plane for a really nice boat
Awesome US and France join together as Brotherhood
Amazing French pilot over there.
Never really been on US carrier, still managed to bag the second wire.
Not that different to landing on the Charles de Gaulle. TBH I think landing on the smaller French deck is more challenging.
@@Sedna063 Yeah I think so
brotherhood
Very cool video beautiful plane that’s the way our lives are supposed to be working together makes me proud
For everyone :
The Rfale isn't a fighter, but an Omnirole
And thanks for your feeling, love from France
You forgot an "a"
'omnirole' , but it does everything better :D
Coolest looking fighter of all time
Rafale looks more cool, strong and beautiful than Super Hornet.
What a great video, thank u so much for sharing 😍
Thanks at you people of America, friends for eternity
Vive la France😍😍😍
Le top comme toujour✌💪💪👍👍👏👏👏
Nice to see some friendly cooperation, and it seems the Rafale's aproach speed is way slower than the F18's
Maybe delta wings ?
@@genstudio7859 Delta wing and close coupled canards. They generate a lot of lift.
Yes it is thanks to the delta wings and the duck tail and it is surely better to bring on the Charles de Gaulle
F18 doesnt need slow approach speed because US carrier are bigger than french one ; so raffale needs slowest speed !
I just wish they had taken the opportunity to take a few Rafale shots to include them in a scene of Top Gun 2
Yes but no, it's french 😱🤯
Amazing video! Your aircraft carrier is so large, constantly busy, and all of you work so well together. The size of the aircraft landing on the flight deck is incredible. You really don't realize how huge these jjets and the radar planes are until you see the ratio of man vs. craft. Loved the video, and very much appreciate what each of You do on your deployment. Hope everyone stays safe. It's very dangerous out the. Please be careful and Thank You for your service to our country. The valor you show is immense.
Semper Fidelis
That is one beautiful aircraft.
I wonder how much the French Navy pilots like the American carrier . Because as far as I know no other country has carriers with a large flight deck as we do .
they said being able to launch and recover at the same time was awesome. We can't do that with our carrier
Maybe the size can make sick our pilot !! :)
This effect is reversed when US pilot land on the CDG with their F18, really short landing x)
That's depending about your own financial capabilities. With more moneys, you can do most bigger . French military finances are very limited .
The CDG (French CVN) was not designed small because of the budget, but only because at the max size of the Shipyard where the CDG was built.
The next CV will be surely build at the Saint Nazaire shipyard(STX, Which is the greatest shipyard in Europe) and not at Brest where the CDG was built.
And we need a bigger CV for a next gen, if we keep the size of CDG, it's better to not built him.
We dont need a Ford/Nimitz size (too big for us) but the QE class is a good option. Something between 70 and 100 000tons.
Can be equip with 50 fighters, can work with the same crew size of CDG(without the pilots / maintenance crew... bigger by the new size of course), not necesserly Nuclear, but with a good self protection, AntiAir AntiMissile AntiRad...
No way of knowing but asking them... Still I think what's not to like? A pilot would appreciate the size and weight of a super carrier... More stability, more room.
The average carriers go around 70k tons. While gringo super carriers are 100k both old Nimitz class and new G. Ford class.
There's also the steam catapult (Nimitz class) and electromagnetic catapult (Gerald Ford class) should give the pilot a sense of more secure take off... Which it is... Surprisingly having a catapult is actually a rare thing in a carrier most carriers don't have such thing, just check the Kutznetzov class (Kutznetzov/Russia, Liaoning/China) or the Vikramaditya/India they use a ramp 😊
Carrier operations are so impressive.
I am impressed the French built a jet with backwards compatibility on U.S. Carriers
Both are great fighters...USA s French both countries are Amazing s powerful...i respect both and love from 🇮🇳...Now india is going to buy Rafael and already order it...and in MMRCA 2 tender USA offers Fa18 Superhornet, F16 block 70 and other fighters from another countries like Rafael, Eurofighter Typhun ,Mig 35 , Grippen etc etc...I think india will go for Fa 18 Superhornet...
Sh ivaa pronouncing rafael but writing it Rafale in french, bro😊
The rafale is most stronger
Great video. Merci !
Now that is cool.
so long carrier for us , one stamp for the rafale ;)
I like the Rafael more than a Super Hornet
Rafale not Rafael, so many people get that wrong, unless it's just a typo, don't mind then :)
Dante Reed The Rafale not rafael
lol, the rafale is a generation ahead of the F18 so in most comparisons it's going to come out ahead.
Generally yes, F/A-18E Block IIs are actually pretty modern though, but the Rafale is a much more recent airframe, and it looks sweeter
RAFALE!merci
Looks like the Rafale lands with a very high AOA. I bet the sudden impact of the front landing gear is very uncomfortable for the pilots.
Paul Visser no. the french carrier is smaller, french plane have to stop very quick. thats the only reason
Don't know about its effectiveness vs an f-35 but that's a gorgeous fighter
jfloes90 i think the rafale would win any friendly exercise engagement with a jsf. rafale vs raptor, perhaps a different story.
let's hear from the expert's.. i put my money on the rafale vs jsf.
TheReal Lifehacks i just read a link which i will post. it's complicated but the conclusion is in any air to air circumstance the rafale is superiour. it's was just my hunch and with our CAF likely procuring jsf's to replace cf18s, it's a bit humbling to know.
TheReal Lifehacks the 16&15 are def outclassed by the 35&Raf. JSF is awesome, but according to that link i put up, not as lethal as the Rafale. Raptor kills everything so it's still Merica ftw!
TheReal Lifehacks i see it separately in the comment area. considering how much money all our country's invested into the F35, it better have some exercise kills. in a multi-role, JSF all the way. for CAP mission's, F22 all day and then take ur pick of SU35;Rafale;Eurofighter.
See us coming, step aside !!
0:55 Finger in the nose :)
Allies training together 😍
*The future carrier fighter of Indian Navy*
Not sure
Isn't the Tejas the Indian Navy choice ?
Béquat Fougère mk2 is not MK1 or mk1a. We have rejected mk1a for now. IN demands higher thrust engines so with mk2 or Kaveri integrated that can work

Tagada m pretty sure. ATM only Rafale and f18 are in competition
🤔 ❓ Una gran dupla f.. 18 y el Rafal francés 🇫🇷
Can US fighter pilots land on our French carrier ?
i like airplanes...
This carrier deck is so wide...but so short!!
( sic Belgian pilot)
C'est dans les missions conjointes qu'on verra le plus efficace
Nice and safe flying 🌸🍀
India should by atleast 2 squadron of rafale for indian navy..
That's the only way to have a Delta wing fighter in US carrier
US can have greater plane, the need of delta is less.
Perhaps it can be the last delta wing of french Dassault aviation. The next stealth fighter for France and germany program will be different.
Not specially the last delta... but probably the last Canard, which is not optimal for a stealth design.
The future will say to us
Tagada I don't think canards configuration has something to do with the jet being more or less stealth. Look at the Chinese J20 it uses canards and it's stealth. We don't know how much stealth it's. I think it has much more to do with the angles of the canards being equal to the angle of the wings, which will help to deflect radar, than the position of the horizontal stabilizer.
Everything is stealth, but you can be optimize (B2) or not (J20).
So yes the configuration is important for the stealth.
The French Navy is doing all this activity on a US carrier because their sole carrier is laid up in overhaul. This allows the skills of their pilots to be somewhat preserved while they wait for their own ship to emerge from overhaul. The actual long-term employment of the Rafale M on a US carrier is more problematic. The Rafale M does not have folding wings, taking up more precious space on the ship. The maintenance and parts requirements of the Rafale M are completely different than the normal airwing requirements. It would be difficult for the French support crew to be berthed and employed on one of our ships, given cultural and language barriers. The French really need to build at least 2 more carriers to be able to maintain their operational capability.
C'est vrai mais la construction d'un second porte-avions nous coûterait très cher et je ne suis pas sûr que nous puissions nous le permettre en ce moment ...
@@vinzcelin8565 ce serai un réel avantage mais un 2 eme porte avion nucléaire serai un gouffre en ce moment pour notre budget
It's done, they are working on the next 2 carriers. They also do some studies for a new space strategy...
Xcom 77 Et bien au lieu d'en construire 2 gros PA nucléaire, n'est-il pas plus judicieux d'en construire deux ou trois plus petit et à propulsion classique, car de toute façon, en cas de conflit majeur, la dissuasion nucléaire est avant tout avec nos sous-marins, l'usage de porte-avions se fait plus pour les conflits asymétrique ou contre des pays bien inférieur à nous militairement (Syrie, Irak, Mali...), alors jouer à celui qui a la plus grosse et dépenser des milliards d'euros sur un seul PA est une aberration , moralité, il ne faut pas jouer les riches quand on a pas le sou !!!lol
@@yvesgauthier1567 sur le terme opérationnel c'est pas l'idéal les propulsions classiques. Être bloqué plusieurs heures tout les 3 jours pour refaire le plein de carburant c'est franchement pas l'idéal. D'un autre côté dès qu'il doit être en maintenance une fois tout les 10 ans pour la recharge du combustible nucléaire et autres améliorations pendant ce temps on a plus de porte avions... donc 2 nucléaires serait parfait, en plus il est question d'environ 100 000 tonnes pour le prochain mais pourquoi ne pas en faire des plus petits 60/70 000 tonnes. Moins grand moins chère...
Looks like the Raf has a slower approach and landing speed compared to the Hornet
Wish they were able to be armed with american made weapons. It would make a good choice for Canada's fighter replacement.
Which fighter you want to be armed with us weapons?
very cool
Here is why France need 2 aircraft-carriers because of 18-month midlife upgrade and refit.
Where are patrol of destroyer and cruise guided missile?
It’s like a scene from Ace Combat
🤭
Great to see than NATO naval planes are compatible with eachothers aircraft carriers
Why wouldn't they be?
Who goin to play at Ace Combat 7 after that ? xD
family car 1 1/2 tons 0-60 8 seconds
fighter jet 15 tons 0-160 less than 3 seconds
when you see the jet in the video start to move ... count like this -
one miss-a-sip-e two miss-a-sip-e three miss-a-sip-e (at a moderate pace)
...by the time you get to the last "e" a fighter jet is in the air and going over 160mph.
Why is rafales landing style so different, than f18?? It just lifts upward so much to catch wire
Rafales operate on different carriers much smaller and also it’s a bit shorter then the f18 and has I think a higher central mass. And it’s also a delta wing. That’s what I think at least
@@cringebaby2558 It's because of the delta wing. It's designed to perform at high speeds and high altitude. But remember that Rafale do not have flaps. They need to have a high angle of attack (like the concord) to land at low speeds to use the entire wing as a flap, with the help slats on the leading edges of the wing. There is also an "auto-pitch software" that keeps the plane at the intended angle of attack during the approach.
@@Bapih ah that seems more plausible ngl probably makes sense why the euro isn’t carrier capable as it is.
Joke question, why Navy pilots are exceptionally excellent at landing on a carrier ?
Michel nguyen they were trained for that
Mainly because they want 1. To stay alive and 2. Keep their job.
like a pretty girl visiting all men's school.
And a couple of bolters thrown in for good measure
Pretty cool. Didn’t know they were tough enough for that.
Tony Harrell if a french/american pilot can land on the deck of french carrier, he can land on every US carrier. CDG (french carrier) is so small
French pilots are better than most American pilots though
@@azurman3 Absolutely not. French and US pilots are all professionnal pilots and are well trained. French Navy pilots are trained in the U.S. They have THE SAME training. The only difference is the philosophy of both Navies and how to use different tools to achieve the same goal.
Thank you to France for their help in the Revolutionary War.... but ain't nothing prettier or nastier than an American fighter with an American Pilot!!!!
Mike 1 wft? Lol
You'd be surprised
Stick Warthogs on this boat - just to spread their 'die now' diplomatic attitude.
Do Canadian jets ever land on Us carriers?
CF-18's do have tail hooks, along with the same heavy duty front landing gear required for carrier based operation.
I think the equipment is gtg but there’s a staffing issue.
They are but I don’t think Canada has any interest in buying Carriers

What??
Rafale M no doubt more capable aircraft than F18 it just need to have below things to make it monopoly.
1) Foldable wings
2) Twin pilot seats
Rafale’s Radar signature is far lesser than F18. Its airframe comparatively more suitable and stable to handle high G in dog fight and out manoeuvring SAMs
Avec les nouvel arme russe et la capacité d'envoyer a l'autre bout de la,planète une vingtaine de rafale bientôt comme c'est prévu plus les missiles de croisière longue portée je suis pas convaincu de l'utilité d'un porte avion qui peut être détruit rapidement avec les missiles hyper sonique les porte avion on leur utilité actuellement mais pas certain de leurs efficacité dans un conflit généralisé y de plus en plus,de sous marin de missiles de plus en plus efficace des drones avec des possibilité on connait pas les limite il peuvent être de surface sous l'eau dans l'aire plus l'espace ça demande réflexion vue les coup d'investissement pour envoyer une vingtaine de rafale a l'autre extrémité toute une armada très coûteuse !!!
Une attaque russe contre un porte-avions américain avec n’importe quelle arme, et encore moins des missiles hypersoniques, déclencherait sûrement la Troisième Guerre mondiale. Les Russes le savent, ce qui rend le scénario presque impossible.
