The Barougan ("battle" in Arabic), was a very minor off-shoot of the M.D.450B Ouragan. The main difference was the new gear design that would allow the Barougan to take off from undeveloped runways. The nose gear stayed the same; however, the main gear in the center of the aircraft was very different. The Barougan had four wheels in the center to help absorb the load from grass runways and it proved to be a good design. A tail parachute was also added to decrease the landing distance and make it more viable. Unfortunately for the Barougan, the program was cut short due to budget constraints and was reconverted back to its original configuration.

Introduced in Update 1.73 "Vive la France", the M.D.450B Barougan is a decent early jet fighter. It has four chin-mounted 20 mm cannons and access to bombs as well as SNEB type 23 rockets. Although it has four cannons, the ammo belts are less than desirable and greatly hinder the effectiveness of the guns. The Rolls-Royce engine is decent; although if players choose higher fuel settings, the Barougan will greatly struggle with accelerating quickly and overall energy retention will diminish. Overall, the Barougan is a decent aircraft for players progressing through the French tech tree and serves as a good indicator of upcoming native French jets.
