The French Rafale F4.3 has passed the fire test: what was checked before the final approval

France has taken an important step towards officially certifying the new standard of its flagship fighter, the Dassault Rafale F4.3. The country's Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) reported that the fighter had undergone a short-term but intensive test campaign designed to assess the real state of its capabilities before the final approval of the standard.

These were not just demonstration flights. The planes flew in real combat conditions, as close as possible to those faced by French aviation in the future. Special attention is paid to two key aspects: interaction within the tactical network and the effectiveness of weapons.

What does this mean in practice?  

— The operation of the new on-board computer and software was checked, which allow Rafale to exchange data faster with other aircraft, drones, ships and ground forces.  

— The integration of new missiles is being tested, including the long-range Meteor and the ASMP-A anti-ship, as well as future satellite drones ("free hunters").  

— Communication stability and protection against electronic attacks are being evaluated — a critical moment in modern warfare.

The test results will help DGA and Dassault Aviation make final adjustments before the F4.3 becomes the official standard for the entire Rafale fleet. This stage is not just a technical formality, but the last chance to identify weaknesses before large—scale implementation.

The Rafale F4.3 is not just an upgrade, but a transition to network—centric warfare, where each fighter becomes a node of an intelligent combat system. And France clearly does not want to lag behind.

The French Rafale has passed a "technical inspection" before going into production: DGA has completed tests of the F4 standard.3

 

Rafale F4.3

The General Directorate of Armaments of France (DGA) has put an important point in the development of the Rafale fighter. It has successfully completed a large—scale campaign to assess the operational capabilities of the aircraft in its future standard configuration, the F4.3. All tests took place at the DGA flight Test center in Istres, which is a key testing ground for new French military equipment.

This campaign was not just a formality. Its goal is to thoroughly test all the new features and improvements that are included in the F4.3 standard to ensure that the aircraft is fully operational. The successful completion of these tests is a critical step towards official certification of Rafale according to this new standard. After certification, all new Rafales will be produced in the F4.3 configuration, and the existing fleet aircraft will be gradually upgraded to this level.

The F4.3 standard is designed to significantly enhance the combat capabilities of Dassault Aviation's flagship fighter, making it an even more deadly and technologically advanced player on the modern battlefield.

Lockheed Martin received 33.4 million to help Israel with the F-35 — all for the sake of the Block 4

Lockheed Martin has signed a new contract with the US Department of Defense in the amount of $ 33.4 million. The money will be used to support Israel's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, or rather, to help develop its most advanced version, known as Block 4.

What does it mean? The F-35 is not just an airplane, but a flying computer, and its capabilities are constantly being updated with new versions of hardware and, especially, software. Block 4 is the largest upgrade in the history of the program: it will add new combat functions, improve sensors, enhance combat communication between aircraft and other systems, and expand the arsenal of compatible weapons.

Israel, as one of the key international partners of the F-35 program, wants not just to fly these fighters, but to deeply integrate them into its own defense ecosystem. Therefore, some of the design and software work is carried out directly in Israel, with the participation of local engineers and defense companies. This contract is designed to support the second stage of the development and design of systems on Israeli territory.

Such localization is an important step. It gives Israel more control over technology, allows it to adapt the F-35 to its unique tasks (for example, countering enemy air defenses or operations in the dense airspace of the Middle East) and reduces dependence on supplies from abroad in the event of a crisis.

Lockheed Martin will coordinate these efforts by providing access to source codes, technical documentation, and simulation tools. The work ahead is extensive: from software architecture design to testing new combat algorithms.

As a result, although the contract was awarded to an American company, the whole system wins: the United States strengthens its alliance with Israel, and Israel gains more technological independence, and the F-35 becomes even smarter, more powerful and more deadly.

South Korea's KAI has received a second contract for the production of 20 KF-21 Boramae fighters worth 2.39 trillion won

Korea Aerospace Industries Co. (KAI) has announced the signing of a second major contract with the Office of the South Korean Defense Procurement Program (DAPA) for the production of 20 additional KF-21 Boramae fighters of its own production. The value of the agreement is about 2.39 trillion won (1.76 billion US dollars).

The main details of the contract

- The contract includes not only aircraft production, but also logistical support — technical manuals and training programs for pilots and technicians.

- Delivery of the first 20 fighters under the first contract is scheduled for the second half of 2026.

- According to the plan, a total of 40 KF-21 aircraft will be delivered by 2028.

- The overall goal is to produce 120 KF-21 fighters by 2032.

The KF-21 is a 4.5 generation multi—role fighter developed by South Korea in collaboration with Indonesia. The aircraft is designed to replace the outdated F-4, F-5, KF-16 and F-15K models in the South Korean Air Force. It is equipped with two General Electric F414 engines, is capable of speeds up to Mach 1.8 and carries a wide range of weapons, including guided missiles and bombs.

The KF-21 program symbolizes the significant progress of the South Korean aerospace industry and the country's desire for technological independence in the field of defense. The fighter combines modern avionics, sensors and multi-purpose capabilities, while remaining more affordable than its fifth-generation counterparts.

The KF-21 has already attracted interest from several countries, including Poland, Peru, and the United Arab Emirates, which view it as an alternative to more expensive Western fifth-generation fighters.

F-16 Block 70 fighter jets

 The United States plans to complete delivery of the first 10 new F-16 Block 70 fighter jets to the Taiwan Air Force by the end of 2025. These aircraft are part of a large order for 66 upgraded F-16Vs, concluded as part of a military sales agreement. The first 10 vehicles are expected to be delivered in the second half of the year, and they will be delivered by direct flights from the United States to Taiwan with air refueling support by American tankers. The flights will be operated by U.S. Air Force pilots, with Taiwanese pilots accompanying the two-seat options to gain long-range flight experience. The new fighters will be based at Chihang Air Base and will become part of the 7th Tactical Fighter Wing, which will become the most powerful unit of the Taiwan Air Force responsible for the defense of the eastern region of the island. Full delivery of all 66 fighters is planned by the end of 2026.

Lockheed Martin has completed the delivery of the second F-16 Block 70 fighter for the Bulgarian Air Force

F-16 Block 70

Lockheed Martin has successfully completed the delivery of the second multirole fighter F-16 Block 70 for the Bulgarian Air Force. This delivery is part of a large-scale modernization program aimed at replacing obsolete Soviet MiG-29 fighters.

The new F-16 Block 70 are distinguished by modern technologies, improved avionics and increased combat effectiveness, which will significantly enhance the capabilities of the Bulgarian Air Force. The first fighter jet was delivered to Bulgaria in April 2025 and became a symbol of the strategic partnership between Bulgaria and the United States.

Under the first contract signed in 2019, Bulgaria received eight F-16 fighter jets, including six single-seat F-16C and two two-seat F-16D. The delivery of the second aircraft confirms the fulfillment of the schedule, despite delays caused by the pandemic and production nuances.

The Bulgarian Air Force plans to form a full-fledged squadron of F-16 Block 70 fighters by the end of 2025, which will significantly increase the country's defense capability and integration into NATO structures. In addition, in 2022, a second contract was signed for the supply of eight more fighters, which are scheduled to arrive in 2026-2027.

Bulgarian Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov and Defense Minister Atanas Zapryanov noted the importance of this acquisition for national security and strengthening cooperation with the West. The modernization of the Bulgarian Air Force is seen as a key step in ensuring the sovereignty and protection of the country's airspace.

First F-35A fighter jet to arrive in Belgium in coming months after delays

 F-35A

Lockheed Martin announced that after a number of delays, the first F-35A fighter jet will arrive in Belgium in the coming months. This aircraft will be part of a general order for 34 fighters, which was concluded as part of the modernization program of the country's Air Force.

In 2018, Belgium selected the American F-35A as its main combat aircraft and signed a contract worth 3.6 billion euros (about 4.1 billion US dollars) for the supply of more than two dozen such vehicles manufactured in the United States. This step is aimed at replacing outdated fighter jets and significantly increasing the combat capabilities of the Belgian Air Force.

The delivery of the first aircraft will be an important stage in the implementation of the program, which includes not only the purchase of equipment, but also pilot training, technical staff training and the creation of the necessary infrastructure.

China completes sale of Shenyang J-35A stealth fighter to Pakistan Air Force

Shenyang J-35A

China has officially completed the sale of the new fifth-generation Shenyang J-35A fighter jet to the Pakistan Air Force, marking an important milestone in strengthening Islamabad's defense capabilities. The deal includes the delivery of 40 fighter jets ordered in December 2024, with China speeding up delivery dates to deliver the first batch of aircraft as early as the first quarter of 2026, ahead of the original schedule by about six months.

The Shenyang J-35A is a modern Chinese stealth fighter aircraft, originally designed for ship—based use, but adapted to perform a wide range of tasks, including gaining air superiority and attacking ground targets. The aircraft is equipped with advanced stealth technologies, an active phased array radar (AFAR), modern avionics and weapons located in internal compartments, which significantly increases its combat capabilities and survival on the battlefield.

The delivery of the J-35A will give the Pakistani Air Force a qualitative advantage, which, according to experts, will remain for 12-14 years, since this fighter is significantly superior in performance to fourth-generation platforms such as the JF-17 and F-16, which now form the basis of the Pakistani air fleet. This will also create a challenge for the Indian Air Force, which continues to modernize its forces, but does not yet have a similar fifth-generation fighter in mass production.

The first serial KF-21 Boramae fighter has begun final assembly before delivery to the South Korean Air Force

KF-21 Boramae on assembly in the workshop

The Korean Aerospace Industry (Korea Aerospace Industries, KAI), together with the Office of the Defense Procurement Program (DAPA), announced an important stage in the development of the national fifth-generation fighter. The first serial multifunctional fighter KF-21 Boramae has begun the final stage of assembly, which brings it closer to its official incorporation into the Republic of Korea Air Force.

This became known during a ceremony held at KAI's production facilities in the city of Sacheon. This event took place a little less than a year after the start of mass production of the fighter, as well as exactly ten years after the launch of the program to create its own supersonic combat aircraft.

The KF-21 Boramae fighter, developed with the participation of Indonesian specialists, is positioned as a competitor to the F-35 and other modern fifth-generation aircraft. It is equipped with an advanced radar system, is capable of carrying a wide range of weapons and has the potential for further modernization.

This project is an important step by South Korea towards technological independence in the aircraft industry and strengthening the country's defense capability.

The United States has unveiled the first officially designated unmanned fighter aircraft: the beginning of a new era in combat aviation

 The US Air Force has officially unveiled the first-of-its-kind unmanned fighter aircraft as part of the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program — a new revolutionary initiative aimed at integrating autonomous technologies into combat aircraft. Two models were presented as part of this program: YFQ-42A, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, and YFQ-44A, created by startup Anduril Industries.

These drones will become key partners for next-generation manned aircraft, such as the advanced fighter jet Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD). The main goal of the CCA program is to create autonomous aerial platforms capable of interacting with manned aircraft in real time, providing superiority in intelligence, strike operations and electronic warfare.

Special attention is paid to the level of autonomy: the new drones will have the ability to make decisions in conditions of high uncertainty and counteraction, which is especially important in modern conflicts using fifth-generation technologies. This approach can significantly reduce the risks for the crews and at the same time increase the effectiveness of combat operations.

The CCA program is part of a broader modernization strategy for the U.S. Air Force, envisioning a transition to hybrid systems where man and machine work together. This marks a new stage in the development of military aviation, where the decisive factor is not only speed and armament, but also the ability to adapt, learn and function autonomously in difficult conditions.

Airbus has developed an unmanned LOAD fighter jet to combat attack UAVs

 

 LOAD

Unmanned aerial vehicles for strike purposes pose an obvious threat that requires a response. Various means and methods of combating such UAVs are being developed and proposed, including the most interesting ones. For example, the European corporation Airbus recently presented the first materials on the project of the unmanned fighter aircraft LOAD. This UAV will have to intercept aerial targets and hit them with light air-to-air missiles.

One of the main innovations from Airbus was the layout of a promising interceptor drone called LOAD (Low-Cost Air Defense — "Low-cost air defense"). This product is designed to combat attack UAVs or other means of air attack and is in fact the answer to one of the main modern challenges.

It is reported that the new LOAD interceptor was developed based on an existing serial UAV. By replacing some components and introducing new systems, including weapons, the serial drone turned into a fighter. At the same time, the main flight performance characteristics remained at the same level.

In the near future, Airbus plans to conduct full-scale tests of the new drone to confirm its design characteristics. Both the entire interception complex and its individual components, including air-to-air missiles, will be tested.

After successful testing of the new sample, the development corporation plans to bring it to the market. The UAVs will be offered to potential customers who want to strengthen their air defense and provide protection not only from "traditional" aerial targets, but also from modern threats.

Airbus is already developing various options for the development of the LOAD project, aimed at improving basic parameters and expanding combat capabilities. In particular, it is proposed to increase the transported ammunition, which, in turn, should improve the combat qualities of the drone.

However, the timing of the full implementation of the project and full market entry remains unknown. Using a ready-made platform will reduce the development time of a new project, but other components may have a negative impact.

The LOAD interceptor was created on the basis of the Do-DT25 unmanned target, designed to train anti-aircraft crews. The Do-DT25 product was originally developed by EADS, but later passed on to Airbus Corporation. It has been mass-produced for a long time, and by now more than 2,500 such UAVs have been produced. It is noted that the target drone is one of the most widespread samples of Airbus products.

During the redesign of the unmanned target in the interceptor, some changes were made to the original airframe and control system. The remaining components and assemblies, apparently, corresponded to the goals of the new project and did not require modification or replacement. This approach to the design of a new drone has allowed us to preserve the overall appearance and some of the characteristics. At the same time, LOAD received fundamentally new features.

The LOAD UAV, like its predecessor, is built according to a normal aerodynamic scheme. It has a spindle-shaped fuselage, a mid-mounted wing with a slight sweep and a T-shaped tail. At the base of the tail is a gargrot with a built-in air intake.

The size of the interceptor has not yet been announced. However, it is known that the Do-DT25 target has a length of about 3.1 m and a wingspan of about 2.5 m. LOAD is unlikely to have fundamentally different dimensions.

The LOAD product retains the turbojet power plant of its predecessor. With its help, the device will be able to reach speeds of more than 550 km / h and stay in the air for at least an hour. The combat radius is determined by means of communication and is currently limited to 100 km. If necessary, the duration and range of the flight can be increased due to the outboard fuel tank.

It is not yet known which control system the new UAV will receive. The traditional combination of autopilot and remote control is likely to be used. Such a system will be able to perform some tasks independently, and in other cases, operator intervention will be required. In particular, it is the person who will give the command to use weapons.

The LOAD drone can be equipped with optoelectronic detection devices. Also, the possibility of using a lightweight small-sized radar cannot be excluded. In both cases, this will allow you to get an overview of the front hemisphere and ensure the search for aerial targets.

LOAD will hit aerial targets with guided missiles. The type of these products has not yet been specified. The combat characteristics that can be obtained with such weapons also remain unknown. So far, the promotional materials for the project depict only average hypothetical rockets, but not real samples.

Mock-ups of the interceptor drone were demonstrated with a pair of missiles under the wing. At the same time, the development organization claims that in the future, the UAV's ammunition supply may increase. Probably, a third suspension point will be organized under the fuselage and, possibly, additional points will appear under the wing.

The Do-DT25 target drone takes off from a rail catapult. The fit of this product is not normally provided for. Apparently, LOAD will also use a launch catapult, but it will receive some means for landing — a parachute or even a full-fledged landing gear.

As far as we know, the new LOAD project is still under development, and the final appearance of the unmanned interceptor has not yet been determined. However, the project is expected to be completed in the near future, and the finished sample will be shown at one of the next exhibitions. Time will tell whether he will be able to interest potential customers.

Pakistan may have shot down its own fighter jet

 In Lahore, an ejection seat was discovered, presumably from a Mirage V fighter jet of the Pakistani Air Force, prompting speculation that Pakistan may have lost one of its aircraft as a result of an overnight strike from India.The Lahore discovery may indicate internal complications in the operations of the Pakistani Air Force. "It's clear from the video that the seat matches the Martin-Baker systems used in Mirage V aircraft," said an open source intelligence analyst familiar with regional aviation assets.The Mirage V, a multirole fighter aircraft in service with the Pakistani Navy for a long time, has been upgraded over the years, but remains vulnerable to both enemy fire and system fatigue. In previous years, several aircraft were lost in training incidents and patrol operations due to age-related wear and tear or maintenance issues.

Pakistan announced the use of Chinese J-10C fighter jets against the Indian Air Force — the first combat victory is possible

According to reports from the Pakistani military, during a recent incident involving the Indian Air Force, Chinese Chengdu J-10C multirole fighters were involved, supplied to Pakistan as part of a program to modernize its air fleet. Islamabad claims that it was with the help of these aircraft that  five Indian military aircraft were shot down on approach to Pakistani airspace.  

If the information about the involvement of J-10C in these interceptions is confirmed, it will be  the first officially documented aerial victory of this type of fighter in real combat. Prior to this, the J-10C had already demonstrated its capabilities in joint exercises between China, Egypt and other countries, but direct combat use had not previously been confirmed.  

The J-10C fighter, developed by the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation of China, is equipped with modern radars, electronic warfare systems and air-to-air weapons, including the PL-15 long-range missile with a range of more than 193 km. This modification is actively exported by China — in addition to Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt and other countries wishing to modernize their fleet are showing interest in it.  

Reports of the use of the J-10C in the conflict between India and Pakistan are increasing interest in this machine as a serious competitor to its Western counterparts. Pakistan's possession of such weapons could change the balance of power in the region and affect Delhi's strategic calculations.

Russia has developed the high-altitude aviation cruise missile X-69

Multifunctional low-visibility high-altitude aviation cruise missile of the new generation X-69

It was created in the GosMKB Raduga named after A.Ya. Bereznyak. It is designed to destroy a wide range of ground-based stationary targets with known location coordinates before launch and with previously known information signs of the target area.The rocket has a close to square cross-section. This, firstly, facilitates its placement in the internal armament compartments of fifth-generation fighters, and secondly, the fuselage of this type, combined with other design features, reduces the radar visibility of the missile. The fuselage is 4.19 m long, the width and height with folded wing and tail consoles are 40 cm, and the wingspan is 2.45 m.

The X-69 rocket is equipped with a combined navigation and automatic control system (SNAU) based on a free-form inertial system (BINS), integrated with consumer navigation equipment (NAP) of information from commercial satellite navigation systems (SNS) GLONASS and GPS NAVSTAR, as well as with an integrated radio-technical altitude and speed meter (FARC) and opticalelectronic system (OE-M). A four-channel electromechanical steering gear is used as an executive element of the SNAU.The mainline dual-circuit turbojet engine accelerates the X-69 to 700-1000 km/h. The maximum flight range is 290 km, the height above the earth's surface, depending on the terrain, is 50-300 m.The X-69 missile can be part of the onboard means of destruction of Su-57 fighters, as well as placed on the external suspension of generation 4++ and 4+ Su-35, Su-30MK, Su-34, MiG-35, MiG-29K and others aircraft.

Specifications:

- Launch range, km: 290

- Flight speed, number of M (km/h): 0.8 (1000)

- Type of warhead: penetrating or cluster

- Mass of the warhead, kg: 310 or 300

- Guidance system: a free-of-charge integrated system with the consumer's navigation system + satellite navigation system + optoelectronic final guidance system OE-M

- Launch weight of the rocket, kg: up to 770

- Length x width x height x wingspan of the rocket, m: 4.19 x 0.4 x 0.4 x 2.45

Russia's use of a new type of subsonic X-69 air-to-surface cruise missile has raised fears in Kiev and the West that the Russian Aerospace Forces have acquired weapons even "more dangerous" than the Kinzhal hypersonic ballistic missile. It was the X-69 that was used by the Russian military for strikes that destroyed the transformer, turbines and generators of the Tripoli thermal power plant near the Ukrainian capital, military analysts at the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) concluded.A special "danger" in terms of consequences for the Ukrainian side is the fact that the X-69 is very difficult to detect with air defense systems, since the missile is capable of maintaining an altitude of only about 20 meters when following the target.

The United States has unveiled a massive defense investment initiative

 

The United States has unveiled a new large-scale defense investment initiative that provides for an additional $150 billion invested in priority military programs through fiscal year 2029, separate from the regular U.S. defense budget.

The plan, announced on April 27, 2025, reflects the Trump administration's strategic commitment to accelerate next-generation military capabilities in response to increasing global security challenges. The highlight of this initiative is the allocation of $500 million to accelerate the development of the F/A-XX aircraft, the sixth-generation stealth fighter that is central to the U.S. Navy's vision for future air supremacy.

Chinese J-35 fighter jet launched from an aircraft carrier

 The Chinese Shenyang J-35 stealth fighter made its first launch using an electromagnetic catapult (EMALS) from the Fujian aircraft carrier at the end of March 2025. 

If this is later officially confirmed by the Chinese authorities, this event could be a turning point in China's naval aviation capabilities by significantly expanding the operational reach of the People's Liberation Army (PLAN) Naval Forces. This event followed months of J-35 observations at ground-based aircraft carrier simulation facilities and static exposure aboard Fujian, which represents an important step towards the full operational integration of stealth aircraft into China's carrier strike groups.

J-36

 China has shown off its sixth-generation fighter jet, the J-36, in detail.

China has unveiled its new sixth-generation fighter model, the J-36, which is significantly larger and heavier than existing fifth-generation aircraft.

Possible tasks:

1. It can act as a leader for an entire combat system, which will include various unmanned vehicles, while its participation in aerial combat is "unlikely."

2. Long-range strikes (missile attacks) by enemy aircraft not only in the air, but also on the ground, as well as those stationed on aircraft carriers.

3. The center of a large combat system, which, in addition to drones, will include manned fighters such as J-20 and J-35A, AWACS aircraft and tanker aircraft.

4. A prototype for the creation of a naval version of the stealth fighter.

Length: about 23 m

Weight: from 45 to 54 tons. 

For comparison, the weight of the J-20 varies from 34 to 37 tons, and the weight of the Russian Su-57 with full ammunition is 37 tons. 

Experts believe that the demonstration of a promising aircraft that is already performing test flights is a political gesture to the United States and its allies in Southeast Asia.

Su-57: The Only Fighter Capable Of Breaking Through Air Defenses

 The Su-57 fighter turned out to be the only one capable of entering the air defense zone and firing missiles.

The latest fifth-generation multirole fighter, the Su-57, turned out to be the only combat aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) capable of operating directly in the affected area of air defense systems. 

This was announced by the head of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) Vadim Badekha.

Su-57
