Višenamjenski borbeni avion Rafale, odnedavno dostupan i Hrvatskom ratnom zrakoplovstvu u inačici standarda F3R, Francuska ubrzano razvija na standard F5, a on bi mogao postati znatno više od uobičajene modernizacije. Dok se europski program borbenog aviona nove generacije (FCAS) suočava s ozbiljnim problemima, Pariz računa na to da će duboko modernizirani Rafale ostati ključni element francuskih zračnih sposobnosti i 2030-ih.

Nations are increasingly ordering fourth- and 4.5-generation fighters as they are cost-effective and readily available. France's Rafale and the US F-15EX are prominent examples of this trend. Various countries, including Ukraine and Colombia, have made commitments to acquire these aircraft. Fourth-generation fighters remain effective with capabilities that complement fifth-generation fighters. Their operational advantages indicate that they will continue to play a significant role in air forces.
