Rafale is nuke-capable (F3 standard) since 2008. Dunno if the nuke-capable version is exported though (the F in F3 stands for "France")

  It is about being compatible with US nukes and their systems.

    Good point. This was more about wondering whether France was willing to export nuke capability than anything else though.

      I am confused : my google-fu says Rafael is Israeli. What is the French connection?

        None here - you mistranscribed :) Rafale and Rafaele are two different beasts - one is the name of a plane made by Dassault industries, the other is an Israeli defence company.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Rafale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Rafale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Advanced_Defense_Systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Advanced_Defense_System...
