Interesting tidbit. Craig Hoyle over at the Dew Line reported today on the production rate of the Rafale. If his numbers are correct (and I believe they are) then the F-35 has achieved a production rate almost 3 times higher (if not more) than the vaunted Rafale program. The only thing left for the critics to do is to state outloud..."we were so wrong!"
