I don't think it would have made any difference whethere Rafale or the EF won the contract, both are very good aircrafts. Just bloody glad that it is over & done with. I'm pretty sure the IAF & the MoD got whatever they wanted. Excellent work by the MoD to do what is a fairly transparent job in such a huge deal. For once, I'm thankful for St. Antony. There will be no whispers of a kickback with him around, the deal is pretty much safe on that score. Otherwise, we might have had this deal going the Bofors way, crippling the force.
