Then stop cowarding and buy the best équipements and not what the us lobbies you into buying ! Rafale > any US fighter
I don’t disagree with you per se (though Eurofighter and Gripen are good too), but I have to point out that the Czech Republic has been using Saab Gripens for a while now, not US-made fighter jets.
Yup and it’s great ! But i’m referencing to a particular case were they did two set of tests cause the rafale was better in every category than it’s us counterpart, and in the second test they just made it so the critera were like : “does the name begins by F ?”
What makes the Rafale so superior in your opinion?

Can you point us somewhere, where we can read more about it?
I’ts reliable, versatile, and very well modernised, i’m not a mechanics but i’ve hear and read a lot of things comparing various planes and it just stood on top most of the time. You have access to trials set by governments to decide wich plane to buy, and it compares most of the most recents fighters if you’re interested.
Ok, if this is public information- go ahead.
Look up about Switzerland buying F35 when their specs and their own assessment were telling them to buy the Rafale.
Oh and also the population wanted to buy Rafales and not F35.
with what industry lol, they just pissed away whatever pittance of an industry europe had left.
i guess they could rebuild that industry, but that’d require them to stop being neoliberals, since those will never ever build anything, they’ll just privatize and financialize until the system chokes on its own vomit.
Five of the world’s ten biggest arms exporters are in the EU. France alone exported more than either Russia or China did last year.
