You can’t tell me this is a glorious aircraft. Look at this :
It’s just awful, especially from the front

I mean I personally like the functional design of it.
Everything seems to be placed exactly where it needs to be without any consideration of aesthetics.
But I can see why others don’t like that. I personally think the Eurofighter looks more menacing than the Rafale. But that’s just my personal opinion and I can see why others like the Rafale design more. It looks more refined and more blended in together as a whole.

Rafale looks beautifully dangerous where Eurofighter looks beautifully aggressive.

Well just a quick reminder chihuahua are agressive but don’t deal any damage. Pitbulls are dangerous and lethal.
So EF = Lot of barking no action
Rafale = Quiet yet deadly
Meh.
Eurofighter is a honey badger. Eurofighter don’t give a sh*t.

Honey badgers are dangerous and agressive so it’s the depiction of an F22 not an EF nor a Rafale.
F-22 is to shy to be a honey badger. It’s more of a snake, scorpion or spider.
Eurofighter would be flown much more aggressively as well.
Anyway Rafale > EF. Tell what you want this is a French Aircraft thread any opinion going against France, thus, is invalid.

I love both. In the early days Rafale likely was the better multirole while I would have stuck with Eurofighter for high alt long range BVR stuff.
What the situation is now who knows?
Eurofighter certainly brings more power to the table, everything else is guesswork usually.

EFT soon will definitely have the better radar
Likely.
Wrong again but hey, at least you tried.
Im not
Like how early Rafale radars where worse then 90s F15Cs
rafale is just as old so thats not saying much
2001 is not the 90s
it was put in service in 2001 not developed
Yes im not on about pre production Rafales im on about early in service ones
Just a quick reminder than when France went for at least a PESA radar even for earliest production Rafales, EF kept it mechanical until they decided to make the Captor E in 2014. Which is being installed on typhoon atm. Meanwhile RBE2 AESA was there before Captor E and RBE2-XG is gonna once again bring the perfs up a lot.
Not even worth mentionning there is probably a better radar than RBE2 XG being developped for SCAF…
