What's ur definition of successful? Numbers built? Export orders? Advanced tech?
According to numbers built...Typhoon is more successful...I think in terms of export orders too but I'll have to look that up to be sure.
How many sold to India, of course, LOL!
According to Wiki, there are 276 Rafale on order or delivered, including exports of 96.
There are 623 Typhoons ordered or delivered including 151 exports.
As a comparision, Gripen have 326 on order or delivered making Rafale the least successful of the Eurocanards.
A comparision of exports, (excluding the Middle East, where SAAB is not allowed to export), shows that:
- the Rafale has only won a single order (36 for India)
- the Typhoon has won a single order (15 for Austria)
- The Gripen has won five orders for 104 aircrafts, including leased aircrafts.
If we compare orders by original partners:
- Rafale: France: 180
- Typhoon: UK, Spain, Italy, Germany: 472 = 118 per country
- Gripen: Sweden: 264, with some resold/leased.
