Who got free Rafales? If you think Greece did,you're wrong.

Oh is that just French fake news?

Heck the Swiss even speak French as one of their languages.

Their currency is still called the 'Franc'

Its a decision based on merit as well as politics. The F-35 is a better aircraft than Rafale.

If you pitch F-35 vs Rafale/Gripen/Typhoon/F-18E and financing not a issue they all lose in terms of overall capability. Heck if all Arab countries had the option to buy F-35 there wouldn't be any sales of Rafales/F-15S.

French are getting hammered

its jus getting worse

Defense share is shrinking, and when share shrink, its the top dog in the pack who takes it first. With all embargoes and secret keeping, Frenchies have earned a lot. But times have changed now.
Its a wild wild world.

The Swiss have been using American Jets for a while now and they selected the F35 months ago. This is hardly news.

The French should sell to both sides and remove any and all items that makes it's weapons ITAR free.

What if the French were to help China, in technologically advanced fields

The only thing China could possibly want from them are helicopters. Nothing else they have is of interest.

You are right, they are paying the price of that insult in this world and will continue in the afterlife. Hard days for France now and ahead.

What if the French were to help China, in technologically advanced fields, in order to compensate for the loss of the Australian Subamarine Deal?

Operation: Rage

seriously what would you pick in the f-35 versus Rafale ?

No it wasn't French,I don't know where it originated,various sites had said in the early stages of the deal that we were supposed to be getting some or most of them for free. That was completely wrong.

Its a decision based on merit as well as politics. The F-35 is a better aircraft than Rafale.

If you pitch F-35 vs Rafale/Gripen/Typhoon/F-18E and financing not a issue they all lose in terms of overall capability. Heck if all Arab countries had the option to buy F-35 there wouldn't be any sales of Rafales/F-15S.

On paper. But that remains to be seen. But the thing is: Switzerland never cared to buy the best and latest. They never had a large Air Force or Air Defence. They were always neutral and their weapons budget was crazy. Besides,we all know,nobody would realistically invade Switzerland. So why do they suddenly buy the F-35? It's probably politics and deals,maybe bribes too. I don't know.
But there's something going on with that deal. The Americans are pressing a lot of countries lately to buy their stuff.
