Rafale and SH are evenly matched. The deciding factors are pilot training and combat support structure. The F-35C on the other hand is a generation ahead in capabilities.

First F/A-18 SH Block 3

You wish! No less than French Rafale pilots themselves admit that Hornets and SHs are better than Rafale.

A political, not a military choice. The Luftwaffe wanted F-35, for good reason. But German politicians silenced them.

Who said it's an inferior aircraft? Between Rafale and SH what will determin their fight is pilot skills. So they're evenly matched. And more importantly, with SH buy the IN can also buy Growlers (the best EW aircraft currently, which BAE systems is just now trying to copy in EF). Growlers with...

I cannot understand Indian thinking. US by far outstrips France and Russia, even China which is closer to India geographically, in trade with India. India has the biggest trade surplus with the US. In other words the US is contributing a lot, more than any other country, to India's economic...

Another thing with Growler, with the development and integrat of its Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) it is said that it will have an additional capability to inject virus into the computers of the enemy, especially computers controlling integrated air defense networks...

EW is acronym for "Electronic Warfare." They're the same. Growler is not only for EW, it is also for SEAD and ELINT.

(OT) The Swiss Air Force might not be going to war anytime soon but their pilots sure know how to fly the F-18: The F-18 performs lie it has TVC.
