How is one F/A-22 going to kill six Rafales?

By calling on his two wingmen, of course.

Unless the Rafales are selling for less than $30 million each, of course.


Are these in French service or exported? Very different accounting
systems used (one of the reasons people joke about "Shock Horror News
From France - GIAT Makes Profit!")

Parts, support, and training included.


Hey, how much do you get for the cost of a F-22? Not much in terms of
maintenance, crew training, or flying hours... you get the aircraft and
the rest is all extra, same as the competition.
