They want the f-35 more than anything.

What about the F-22. Except for range, but hay nothings perefect

Yeah, and Rafales were not allowed to used ECM.. So they were not at their full potential

Well Brazil is about to choose rafale instead of sukhoi or f-18, heard USA wanted to pre-sell some f-35 to our poor neighborhood down here, but as our gov. wants some tech sharing...no way, maybe if we make it fly on ethanol hahahah. But to Brazil the gripen can still be a choice if it could have more range, cos it can land in a country side dust road.

Yes but there is not this probleme since the Rafale easily outflies all the F-teens.
mariusrodrigo (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Rafale always was 2nd or 1st in all technical and operational evaluations.And It has always been better ranked than all the American fighter.But there is politics, and corruption...

If I were in the French AF and it couldn't beat the teens I'd be pretty dissapointed!
pinx82 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Sure they are Pierre thats why everybody who evaluated them choose either the F-16,F-18 or even the Gripen.
mariusrodrigo (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Ahaha big joookeThe French Rafales humiliated the F-14, The F-15E (Korea), the F-16 (Luke air base), and the F-18 super hornet during several exercises with US navy.And they have never flown against F-22, and the F-35 is not even in service...So stop dreamin boy all the F-teens are now outdated and like it or not but the Rafale is by faar superior.
