Well: Here is my view off it.
The Rafale is one plane that has to reckoned with and it beats the crap out off the F-18 SH.
In a dogfight with a F-35, it will win but at BVR the 35 nails the french dude.
But offcourse the F-22, SU-35BM and EF-2000 will chop it up like there is no tommorow but then again, those systems are landbased and can carry as
much as they want to and have the luxury off having more performance since the runways are kilometers long and not a hundered or so meters.
oh btw: The 35BM is the best multiroler since it can carry up to 8.2 tons off goodies and has 3D TVC wich the EF lacks wich makes the EF second in my
list off best multirolers.
