In 2024, Dassault Aviation increased its production of the Rafale multirole fighter jet, delivering a total of 21 units despite falling short of its target to produce two to three jets per month. The company received an additional 30 orders from export customers, boosting its backlog.
Dassault's delivery numbers for 2024 averaged 1.75 Rafales per month, a notable improvement from the previous year's total of 13 deliveries. Like other manufacturers, Dassault faced supply chain challenges and is likely to attempt increasing production in 2025.
The Rafale now has one of the highest production rates globally, surpassing Russian models like the Su-57 Felon and Boeing's F-15EX Strike Eagle II and F/A-18 Super Hornet. However, it still lags behind Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II with its 110 deliveries.
