Rafale fighter jet uses electronic warfare and stealth for combat survivability

The Indian Air Force's Rafale fighter jet utilizes advanced electronic warfare and stealth features for survivability in combat. The 4.5-generation aircraft employs its SPECTRA system for passive threat detection and active jamming against hostile radars, supplementing this with countermeasures like flares and chaff. This omnirole fighter, while not fully stealth-shaped, integrates multiple sensors and network capabilities, enhancing its operational flexibility and reducing its detectability.
