The French Dassault Aviation plans to double the production volume of its rafale fighter jets by the end of the decade.
The European arms industry is now on the rise, and France, which is already large, is going to keep up.
Dassault CEO Eric Trappier Said on Sunday that where the company manufactured one Rafale fighter per month in 2020, it is now manufacturing more than two fighter jets per month.
According to Trappier, now the intention is to make three fighter jets per month next year, and four fighters per month by 2028-2029.
This would mean that by the end of the decade, Dassault would produce almost 50 fighter jets a year.
Trappier’s production is likely to be helped by the fact that the French president Emmanuel Macron On Tuesday, the French armed forces “increase and accelerate” rafale fighter volumes.
The Rafale fighter was one of the fighter jets that Finland considered to be a replacement for Hornet in his HX project. Finland eventually ended up with the US Lockheed Martin F-35 fighters.
