Goa, January 04 (ANI): Speaking over the reports of Chinese 6th Generation fighter plane, French air wing commander Guillaume Denis of French Navy’s Charles de Gaulle said its only on papers and is a bit of a dream right now. He said, “6th (generation aircraft) is a bit of a dream right now but when it comes to 5th generation under Rafale...Rafale is a subjective topic. Rafale is not stealthy...but it has been built from the very scratch...to be able to do all the missions at the same time, which is one of the features of the 5th-generation aircraft, we are able to upgrade it every two years...Rafale’s Meteor air to air missile is probably one of the best missiles you can find in the world...right now it (6th generation aircraft) is only on paper.”
