the order backlog
(Saint-Cloud,
France, April
19th,
2022) – Today, we received the first down payment
of the contract for the acquisition of 80 Rafale by the United Arab
Emirates.
Signed on December 3rd, 2021 in the presence of
the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, and the
Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
this contract, by its exceptional scope, attests to Dassault
Aviation's technological expertise and the Rafale's unique
operational qualities. It also illustrates the strength of the
strategic partnership between the United Arab Emirates and
France.
This contract testifies to the historical and
privileged relationship between Dassault Aviation and the United
Arab Emirates Air Force & Air Defence (UAE AF & AD) since
its creation and reaffirms the Emirates’ satisfaction with Dassault
Aviation fighters as demonstrated by the modernization of the
Mirage 2000-9.
"The Rafale shows, through its proven
operational qualities and its export success, that it is today a
real ‘game changer’ on the global geopolitical scene and an
undisputed instrument for independence and sovereignty. Dassault
Aviation is fully committed to supporting the United Arab Emirates
in its sovereign power, its strategic challenges and its ambitious
vision of the future", stated Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of
Dassault Aviation.
