Another point are the missions;Rafale is very versatile,
Typhoon is an interceptor.
I don't know what you or the partners of Typhoon think about it,
but at the moment,and for now 15 years,it may be more useful to have a
good
multi-purpose aircraft,than an interceptor.



This is nonsense.

Typhoon has been designed from the beginning as a multi-role
aircraft.


Yes, but it is optimised for being a fighter. An optimised bomber
would look like an A-10 or Tornado.
