The Rafale has ZERO export sales, despite offsets equal to any

I don't understand your POV. The F35 is 5 years, if all
goes well, from even entering service with the US -- the Rafale
has already been in service for two years.

The Rafale has been a commercial failure. No export sales at
all. "In service" and an effective weapons system are not the
same thing. How many Rafales are currently contracted for?
The F-35 has 3000+ orders in hand.

What about the plane you in question, the Eagle, how many exports
in the last 30, or so, years?
