Flying a mission during the Tactical Leadership Programme (2019-1) is often complex, especially when you have to encounter one of the most powerful jets in the world, like the F-15E that is seen taking off in the background. The Rafale M though, is an extremely well capable jet fighter, so the Strike Eagle will have a tough job too in fighting the Rafale.

In February 2019, this was the newest Rafale M in the Aéronautique Navale (French Naval Aviation) inventory. Nr. 46 participated unmarked in the Tactical Leadership Programma at Albacete but was assigned to Flotille 11 (11F) based at Landivisiau.
