00:00Bonjour, my name is the Rafale M, France's carrier-based fighter, in service since 2004.
00:08I carry 9.5 tons of weapons, including a nuclear missile that can strike targets 500 kilometers away at three
00:14times the speed of sound.
00:16One unit costs around 100 million dollars. That's about 5,000 Renault Clios, or 70 million croissants for a single
00:25jet.
00:26Take off from a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. In two seconds, the catapult launch me to about 250 kilometers out.
00:32To land, I catch a steel cable across the deck of the Charles de Gaulle at full speed.
00:38But here's what most people don't know. I'm not just a fighter jet.
00:42I can carry the ASMP, a nuclear cruise missile, part of France's nuclear deterritory.
00:48I am the Rafale M, France's answer to questions nobody wanted to ask.
00:52Au revoir. Follow Wartoon every day.
00:54A new weapon, a new story.
