Un Rafale sur deux est disponible
"At the end of 2016, 51% of the 139 Rafale of the Air Force and Navy were available.
Questioned by the deputy (LR, Haute-Marne) François Cornut-Gentille, the Ministry of Defense has just communicated the availabilities of air force and navy aircraft. Only Mirage 2000N and KC-135 refueling data are classified, as these aircraft depend on strategic air forces (nuclear deterrence).
As a result, on December 31, 2016, the Air Force had 98 Rafale "in service" and their availability rate was 49.3%. For the Navy, 41 Rafale, with an availability of 56.6. That's a total of 71.5 devices available, according to our calculations. Remains to understand what exactly this 0.5 device ...
Let's not chipotons: half (51%) of the Rafale fleet was available at the end of 2016, which was roughly (49%) the case a year ago.
On the way, we learn that the air force always aligns 150 Mirage 2000, in five different versions (D, -5, C, N, B).
Not surprisingly, MP Francois Cornut-Gentille pointed to the "critical situation of the transport fleet" and the "black spot" of the availability of the Atlantic 2 on his blog."

It looks more like a H175 but with a Fenestron tail rotor then a Dolphin / Panther

Chammal: Forbin participates in the 22nd edition of Exercise Kundjar Hadd
The Forbin Air Defense Frigate (FDA), deployed in the Arabian Gulf (GAP) as part of Operation Chammal since the end of December 2016, was placed under the command of ALINDIEN (Admiral Commander of the maritime zone Of the Indian Ocean and the Indian Ocean maritime forces) to participate in the 22nd edition of Exercise Kundjar Hadd, in the Gulf of Sardinia, with two Rafale of the 1/7 Provence squadron and one Atlantic 2 Oman from 19 to 23 February 2017.
This joint and inter-allied exercise, organized by the Omani Navy, brought together French, American, British and Omani vessels and aircraft around a dense and diverse program of activities. The actions carried out on this occasion made it possible to sweep away the majority of the scenarios of operations carried out in the Indian Ocean, combining anti-aircraft and anti-surface combat, but also the fight against terrorism and illicit trafficking.
These few days of cooperation in a sensitive environment, at the time of the launch of the major Iranian exercise Velayât, were the opportunity for the different buildings to share their experience. Forbin was able to demonstrate its know-how on all the proposed actions, ranging from shooting to air defense actions through a visiting exercise, while continuing to monitor and analyze air activity in the zone d Operation Chammal.
After completing Task Force (TF) 473 and TF 50 in GAP, Kundjar Hadd marked the end of a significant new phase of the FDA's operational deployment "Forbin" which began on October 25, 2016.
Launched since September 19, 2014, "Chammal" is the name given to the French operation within the operation Inherent Resolve. Today, it mobilizes nearly 1,200 soldiers. At the request of the Iraqi government and in coordination with the allies of France present in the region, Operation Chammal is based on two complementary pillars: a training pillar for Iraqi national security units (Task Force Narvik and Monsabert ) And a "support" pillar to support the action of local forces on the ground against Daech and to strike down the military capabilities of the terrorist group (TF Wagram).

Année 2016 atypique pour les exportations d'armes
"The year was marked by the conclusion of major historical contracts.
But the way in which they are accounted for creates a dispute between professionals.
Numerical dispute over arms exports. During the presentation of the annual review of the activity of the Directorate General of Armaments, his boss, Laurent Collet-Billon, did not want to estimate the export orders taken by the French armament industry . However, a year ago, the head of the DGA promised that after an exceptional year 2015, with 16.9 billion euros of orders taken, 2016 would reach a new record.
But on Monday, the leader locked himself in awkward silence: "I do not want to give figures. "A curious attitude as France last year registered the two largest armament contracts in its history, with the sale in India of 36 Rafale and DCNS contract with Australia for the supply of 12 -marines. All the more so since last January Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that the French arms industry had reached a new export summit with more than 20 billion euros Of orders.
" It is not fair "
Indeed, the embarrassment comes from a dispute over how to take DCNS contract into account or not. In the Minister's entourage, it is pointed out that the French part of this contract represents at least 6.5 billion euros and that it must be included in the 2016 figures, since France and Australia have Concluded in December the intergovernmental agreement on the supply of these 12 submarines. On the other hand, the DGA considers that the contract has not yet entered into force since DCNS has so far only received a deposit of 300 million euros for the studies and that the finalization of the contract is still under negotiation.
Even if this historical order is to be registered on the 2017 accounts, this leaves the Minister of Defense of the next government the opportunity to announce effortless record orders. "It is not fair," one pleads in the entourage of the Minister of Defense. Without the submarine contract, however, export order intake is some 14 billion euros, which, if not a record, is still a very important figure.
Yesterday, Laurent Collet-Billon, whose term of office expires next July, has insisted on another achievement: compliance with the law of military programming (2014-2019), which he calls "law of survival". With the export of Rafales, which will allow France to suspend its deliveries of fighter jets for two years in 2018 and 2019, the DGA was able to complete other purchases that it could not have made without it. breath of fresh air. "It was an issue at 4 billion euros," said the delegate general of the armaments.
Last year, the DGA spent 10.8 billion orders, remaining the first public investor in France. The officer states that he has placed orders for 80% of the equipment provided for by the military programming law. In addition, some 804 million were spent to support innovation and research. Among the three main beneficiaries is Thales, with more than € 1.7 billion in payments, followed by DCNS with € 1.33 billion and Airbus Group with € 1.25 billion. Commenting on the renegotiation request by Airbus CEO Tom Enders on the A400M, the delegate general promised that this would take "a lot of time". A way to kick in touch. On 30 March, he and his counterparts from European countries must meet to discuss this issue, but without taking a decision."
