link Great news for Dassault Aviation, as the current orders for the Rafale stand at 507, 273 of them at export, with Serbia buying 12 planes. The Rafale is a great fighter, the only issue is the building capacity which stands at 2-3 copies per month… |

Rafales, Mirages, Eurofighters are surely getting a big boost with the current US problem…
I just feel sorry for the US aircraft manufacturers workers, when they see their orders drying up! |

Well short of Typhoon numbers, but very creditable nonetheless. It is a fine aircraft. GCAP should be in a decent position to score 6th gen export orders too when it appears in the next decade or so |

My level of sympathy for US workers would depend on how they voted last November. Countries looking elsewhere than the USA for their defence purchases was a very predictable consequence of various policies of the current incumbent (for those who chose to pay attention). |
