      Most tests that were conducted by countries looking for a new fighter jet came to this conclusion. Ultimately though the decision was always made by ignoring the test, arguing that it needs US nuke capability, or tailoring the test so only the f35 can win.

      I’ts reliable, versatile, and very well modernised, i’m not a mechanics but i’ve hear and read a lot of things comparing various planes and it just stood on top most of the time. You have access to trials set by governments to decide wich plane to buy, and it compares most of the most recents fighters if you’re interested.

          Look up about Switzerland buying F35 when their specs and their own assessment were telling them to buy the Rafale.
          Oh and also the population wanted to buy Rafales and not F35.
