Sales of the French Dassault Rafale fighter jet have skyrocketed in recent years, while Russia’s fighter jet exports have collapsed to the point of almost non-existance. The tried-and-tested Rafale is now 37 years old and is becoming more popular around the world (especially with non-aligned countries). The Rafale is broadly a competitor with the Typhoon Eurofighter and the F-16 Block 70/72 Fighting Falcon.
