+pcpilot Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Nice videos. The Rafael is certainly a maneuverable fighter; very impressive. Quote
+JediMaster Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Makes you wonder what gov't screw-ups have prevented it from being exported already. Every previous Dassault jet has been sold to numerous countries. The Rafale has "won" a couple of times but has yet to actually be bought. Meanwhile, SAAB has Gripens all over after the utter failure to export Viggens. Quote

Meanwhile, SAAB has Gripens all over after the utter failure to export Viggens. Political reasons mainly Korea for example or the price Brazil, the aircraft is combat proven (Libya) and mature. Now we're waiting for the first export bill with India but it will take some times After the first export success other customers will go for the Rafale I hope. Quote
