Easy to build and cheaper than all its rivals when it got one of the best agility never get on jet aircrafts same in our days, but it's very poor in electronic equipement which make of it the last combat aeroplane only fly by its pilot.

Not in my heart in all cases... fistly, it was a project of Yakovlev which was stolen by Lockheed-Martin, secondly don't find it beautiful with all its square sides and thirdly, I can't take it as a serious combat aeroplane, it didn't crossed the Atlantic last year for the RIAT becasue of technicall problems, on informatic tests, it could not even win a dogfight against a MIG-21 from the 60s and, this is less good reason, I saw a video which compared the Rafale with the F-35 (ok, to compare it with the Rafale is like to compare a Bf-109 with a B-17), it began with the Rafale, low altitude passes, inside views, flight training, aerobatics, etc... and they show the F-35, the engines starting, the taxiing (I thought it would be epic...) and the take off, it took 5m in altitude before to... land... It wasn't epic at all and that was that during all the rest of the video...
