Fascinating how this thread is bringing out some brand new posters who have an identical posting style to a well known lunatic drench rafale troll who usually gets banned very quickly indeed.
The French have had to put some interesting deals in place to support this and I suspect called in a lot of favours to make these decisions happen.
Typhoon remains credible in a number of competitions, but rafale will have a boost from recent developments. But medium term good luck to the French affording a new design to replace it...
