Just the standard 'blah blah America superior to the rest of the world in absolutely every respect blah blah" Al post. The Rafale is a nice aircraft, and excellent value when you take it's weapon systems - MICA, SCALP-EG, etc - into account. The Republic of Korea's Air Force wanted the Rafale with uprated engines, but since the US offered the F-15K with economic offsets that actually outweigh the price of the contract (i..e. they essentially payed the Koreans to take it), they went for that instead. Suprise! The F-15K is a very nice aircraft, but the base airframe is getting on in years. Matt The Rafale has ZERO export sales, despite offsets equal to any offered by the US. The F-35 has thousands. Do try to keep up. Al Minyard
