Saw Rafale against FA2 a number of times over a year ago. Bl**dy good fight. Best show I saw however ,was two SHAR holding their own against 4 Rafale. It's not what you've got but how you use it that really counts. Just hope RAF makes the best use of the Typhoon and they develop some good tactics.
FRS1 could regularly whip most aircraft with the right crew/GCI.
Never, ever, ever, underestimate the French.
