Scud,
i doubt its over from a financial shenanigans point of view, but i'm afraid that its over from a potential customer asking 'which is the better aircraft?' point of view.

Rafale is far more flexible in terms of where it can be based, it is far more multi-role than any Typhoon ever will be, and it is a proven in a sustained combat role.

Typhoon is probably a better dogfighter in a brillcream boys-esque, Battle-of-Britain styleee. whoop-fceking-doo.
