Dassault Falcon

All the others that I found on the forums spoke of old Falcons (20, 30, 40, canard project, ...), Falcon SST (cancelled) or Falcon X (to see soon).

There is nothing on current Falcons. I think that there are not too much current Falcons to name one topic for each. But if it's not a good idea, I can rename the topic Dassault Falcon 6X.
 
7,500 nm and speeds of up to Mach 0.925. Dassault believes the 10X will best its two major competitors inside the cabin, where this newest airplane will measure 9-ft 6-in wide as compared to the Gulfstream G700′s 8-ft 2-in cabin and the Bombardier Global 7500′s that measures 8-ft wide. Two Rolls Royce Pearl 10X engines delivering 18,000 pounds of thrust each will power the aircraft.

The 10X will have a cabin cross section larger than some regional jets. Its cabin will be 6-feet, 8-inches (2.03 m) tall and 9 feet, 1 inch wide (2.77 m). That will make it almost 8 inches (20 cm) wider and 2 inches (5 cm) taller than the widest and tallest purpose-built business jet flying today.

Pressurization will also be the best on the market, with passengers experiencing a 3,000-foot cabin pressure altitude while flying at 41,000 feet. A next-generation filtration system will provide 100-percent pure air. The aircraft will be at least as quiet as the Falcon 8X, currently the quietest business jet in service.

And I saw Belgian Air Component Dassault Falcon 7X (one of a pair leased to their armed forces) touch down yesterday lunchtime at RAF Mildenhall so here are my photos :)

5 more Falcon 2000 Albatros MSA ordered for the French Navy, for a total of 12 airframes.
https://www.dassault-aviation.com/en/group/press/press-kits/france-places-new-falcon-albatros-order/
The Falcon 2000 Albatros is equipped with a multifunction radar housed beneath the fuselage, a high-performance optronic turret, observation windows, a SAR (Search & Rescue) kit release solution, and dedicated communication systems. It is based on the Falcon 2000LXS business jet – the latest addition to the Falcon 2000 family, with several hundred units in service worldwide. The versatile Falcon 2000LXS has a range of 4,000 nm and offers strong low-speed performance, allowing it to operate at the most challenging airports.

The first one flew earlier this year

Appears to lack any defensive aids, a rather unwise money-saving measure...

From some comments its DAS to be fitted later, would have delayed the delivery. Though the DOD has a very negative view of fitting DAS, seem to think it will mean the AC will fly their expensive planes somewhere where they will get shot at. The only reason the 295's got them is it would have cost more to have the systems removed.

First of 3 French Falcon 8X Archange SIGINT aircraft, in a surprising full white livery

Does seem strange not to make it look more anonymous, with some kind of civilian looking livery/strip, painted fake windows, low-visibility roundels and tail code etc.
 
The white color might give an indication to where it will operate: hot and sunny climates.
 
Kind of weird that it lost its windows along the way. Here's one of the earlier prototype flights... why paint them over or replace them with inserts?
