HISTORY ASPECTS: In 2015, the Rafale C fighter jet of the Armée de l'Air (French Air Force) was deployed for Operation Chammal, France's military intervention against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Iraq and Syria. Operation Chammal aimed to provide support to Iraqi and Syrian forces in their fight against ISIL, conducting airstrikes against strategic targets such as ISIL strongholds, weapons caches, and infrastructure. The Rafale C played a crucial role in these operations, delivering precision strikes with its advanced weapons systems and contributing to the degradation of ISIL's capabilities in the region. Operating from Jordan in 2015, the Rafale C fighters conducted numerous missions as part of Operation Chammal, striking ISIL targets with precision-guided munitions and providing close air support to ground forces. The Rafale C's versatility and advanced avionics made it a highly effective platform for a wide range of missions, including air interdiction, reconnaissance, and combat air patrols. Its ability to carry a variety of weapons, including air-to-ground missiles, bombs, and precision-guided munitions, allowed it to adapt to the evolving battlefield requirements and respond swiftly to emerging threats. Now, aviation enthusiasts can own a piece of modern military history with the meticulously crafted 1:72 scale model. With intricate detailing and authentic markings, this replica pays tribute to the Rafale C's vital role in France's military operations against ISIL and its contribution to global security efforts. Whether displayed on desks, shelves, or in aviation collections, this model serves as a tangible reminder of the Rafale C's prowess as a multi-role combat aircraft and its enduring legacy of military aviation.
