9 tons ? You wish. The current M88 is about 7.5 tons of thrust. There is a 9 tons variant dedicated to hot environment that was studied for the UAE order, but that went nowhere AFAIR, there are variants up to 10 tons offered for single engine fighters, but again, that went nowhere. The only upgrades in production or signed off are targetting greater range, operability and lower maintenance, not increased thrust.

@@Noelegamer No. 5gen fighters is basically the name given to stealth fighter and the rafale is not stealth, it is "discret" (so still very hard to detect). Rafale is not a stealth fighter and it will never be. For a plane to be really stealth, it need to carry his missiles and bombs inside is belly but the rafale will never do that, even with the f5 standart, it will always carry them bellow the wings. But in the other hand, the design of the rafale is very well thought because from all 4th gen fighters it is the one that has the smallest radar signature. Also the rafale is powered with two m88 Safran engines that have a pretty low infrared signature compared to other engines. With the F3/R and the F4 standart you also have some electronic warfar sytemes that makes it capable of jamming the sensors of enemies systemes. I'm probably missing some other aspects but all that are the reasons why we call it a 4.5gen fighter, not "stealth" but really "discret".
