Thanks

Now where I can see the hires version, has the GBU-58 been purchased by the French military? And what's the status of the GBU-49/58 integration on the Rafale? I suppose still not there but planned for the future!?
Never heard about the gun pod either and not about the LR68 (probably the base pod for the laser guided rockets?).

I want to know if Rafale dual seater (Rafale B) is equipped with GIAT gun, because in Mirage 2000 case, the tandem version (mirage 2000B/D/N) don't have internal gun.
Anyone has the answer?

Yes the Rafale B has a gun as well.

@TMor,
why did you edit the image out? copyright problems?

Not exactly, however, I've been offered the same at Le Bourget today. But I've no time right now.

I'm very busy those (interesting) days... !

is rafale B equipped with cannon (GIAT) ?
just curious, because in case of Mirage 2000B/D, it is not equipped with cannon because lack of space

Yes, Rafale B has a gun.

Only the Rafale N would have sacrificed the gun (N would have been a naval twinseater once envisaged, but dropped for costs reasons).
