Please i don't want to start a Rafale vs Typhoon thing again.
Probably a good decision, because you really have to inform yourself a bit more about EF and please not only from old sources.
-Both Typhoon and Rafale will employ the PIRATE.
-IRST is already incorporated into the Typhoon.
This for example says much, since PIRATE is the name of EFs IRST system, in Rafale it's called FSO. And the Damocles will not be phased out, actually Saudi Arabia wants to integrate it on EF to have commonality to their Tornados, which already use this LDP. Also not to use an Israeli LDP, which they wouldn't get anyway.
we will get meteor with rafale but can it be possible to put meteor in super sukhoi ? isnt it a deadly combo ?
Possible yes, likely now! METEOR is still in the final development stage and will come costly at the begining, also the Russians are developing Ramjet propelled versions of R77 too, but possibly only for the future Pak Fa. MKIs are also aimed to get Astra, which will replace R77 in IAF fleet and even that missiles is planned to get a similar propulsion system in future.
I say we also join the nEUROn project along with Rafale. Who else????
nEUROn is a European project, but it was reported that Dassault would be interested to assist in the AURA development. I still would prefer Israelis as partners on this, but wouldn't mind if Dassaults help too.
