Dassault Rafale EA-2:

The Dassault Rafale EA-2 is an advanced variant of the well known Dassault Rafale, developed for Argentina to replace the Mirage. The Omnirole plane can compplete all types of sorties and has been in service since 2018. It is considered a whole new variant of the Rafale, since all the parts that BAe provided to build it were replaced with russian parts, with some of them being more powerful than its predecessors. It is actually in service with the 6th Fighter and Attack Group, belonging to the 6th Air Brigade. It has participated in the "ECOAS 1", a joint exercise with the US Navy, where the pilots were able to "sink" the USS George Bush, showing an exceptional ability to fly low and engage from long distance.

The scandal after the incident of Palmdale and the MightyMouse fiasco led to a rush to phase out these air to air rockets. In many cases, it was solved with new interceptors or replacing them with Falcon missiles in existing types, however a very sizeable fleet of F-86Ds was to remain in service for a while and then be passed on to ANG units. Many of those were refitted with new F-86F40 wings (please play along, I kept the tips out of frame) , new electronics, including capability to operate with SAGE, better engine and, most noticeably a new weapons set up, replacing the rocket tray with the cannon arrangement of the F-86Ks and adding Sidewinder missile rails.

The redesignated F-86Ls would become the backbone of the ANG during much of the 1960s, with a few being deployed to Vietnam and Thailand to provide air defense against the odd raid and a good adversary to simulate MiG-17s on training.
