What is the use jf17 block 3 will take them down.

Which one is coming over for tea, out of these three.

When I read the title, it reminded me of the phrase “casting pearl before the swine”

What a waste.

For those who think it's a good idea to purchase a US plane....

Aww did they give us a slap on the wrist in front of the Indians and then patted our backs for a job well done?

This is hilarious, I have 2006 posts on PDF and I have mentioned the F-35 once or twice. You have 597 posts on PDF and each post extols the virtues of the Rafale.

Here is the reality babba, like the F-16, Phantom,Sabre before it the F-35 will make combat history while the Rafale will be a minor footnote.

Deal with it...!

The F35 will have the same history than 737MAX : too many problems unfixed. It will be a technical disaster.
LM always push back the solutions to next block. It's a never ending story.
It's so clear : The software is so huge and so badly studied that LM is forced to add patch to a patch to another patch. with undesired effects on other functions.

F16, F15, F18 were nice planes. They evolve smoothly, from relatively dedicated plane to multirole ones.
F35 is too ambitious : it will never be perfectly efficient. But now too big to fail. Every one will hide (or try to) the operationnal reality.

Regardless, LM will sell more F-35 to more countries than Dassault.
The F-35 will see more action, strike more targets, more A2A kills... than the Rafale..

The F-35 has already made history, the Rafale struggles to make new sales...

The Rafale is a lost cause, give it up.

Get some help please - your obsession with the Rafale is not healthy..

Of course !
France is 7th smaller than USA, so the market share is smaller.
Dassault is a 14000 peoples company, when LM is a 125000+ one

F35 will see.... it's the problem : it's always WILL. 14 years after preserial flights it's only an IOC plane. So my opinion is made : it will never work correctly, after so many patchs that solve one problem and create one or two others.

Don't worry about my health. I follow the Rafale program from 30 years now. All is fine.

All is not fine, you are exhibiting classic signs of unhealthy obsessive behavior.
Please see a professional.

@dbc why not send some F35 to pakistan and we will test them against rafale? and see which aircraft is good? never mind just kidding..
I think F16 block 70/72 will be enough for us to beat Rafale and we won't need F35 for it.
