(Saint-Cloud, January 8, 2024) – The final tranche of 18 Rafale for Indonesia came into force today. It follows the entry into force, in September 2022 and August 2023, of the first and second tranches of 6 and 18 Rafale, thus completing the number of aircraft on order for Indonesia under the contract signed in February 2022 for the acquisition of 42 Rafale.

France has ordered additional Dassault Rafale combat aircraft, the country's Minister of the Armed Forces Sébastien Lecornu announced on 12 January.
Lecornu said that 42 new aircraft will be acquired for the French Air and Space Force... via a so-called tranche 5 order.
France’s defence ministry values the deal at more than €5 billion (more than $5.5 billion), says all the aircraft will be produced in the single-seat (C-model) variant. The fighters will be delivered in the F4 operating standard, but “be designed to evolve towards the F5 standard in the 2030s”... investment will come from the Military Programming Law (LPM) 2019–25 budget.
This represents the fifth procurement tranche placed by France since 1993. The first of these new F4-standard aircraft will be delivered from 2027.
The French Armed Forces have made a commitment to field and modernise the Rafale through to at least 2070, with incremental upgrade packages.
Cirium fleets data shows that the French air force today has 90 Rafale B/Cs in active service. [Más los 40 M de la Marine de un total de aprox. 180 pedidos. Hasta 2027 se estarán entregando los restantes hasta 180 y a partir de ahí estos 42, con los que alcanzarán los 225 planeados tras los recortes.]

India también compró células dadas de baja para Jaguar para mantenerlos en servicio unas décadas mas.
Grecia haría un buen negocio, dado que Francia también se quitó de encima sus cazas 2000.
No sé si conservaran aún algún escuadrón.
