Eurofighter, Rafale

You are not planning a junk musuem, are ya? Overpriced French and European junk is certainly an upgrade from Russian junk but no match for our stuff.

Actually the Eurofighters and Rafales aren't so bad. It would be interesting to see how the European AESAs and BVRs compare with those that America is ready to offer. The Mig-35 upgraded with Israeli Radars,Avionics & BVRs would also be a worthy contender.

Boeing cannot offer such a package under US export constraints given the procedure to clear weaponry exports.

Care to explain(based on emperical data) how Euro-stuff is junk???They have done as well in most conflicts as American ones...The Rafale/EF-2000 are as good as anything else unless you wish to make the F/A-22 the yardstick.
