How does the Dassault Rafale compare to the F-16?

[randym]

The F-16 entered service in the late 70s and did the Rafele enter service in the early 2000s making the French bird much newer ..

Bad time for YT to recommend this short LOL

[carolinadog]

The video contradicts itself from the very beginning talking about range😂

[xaxaxaxaxa]

In Greece we have Rafale, F 16 and Mirage . The F 16 is more equivalent to the Mirage but the Mirage is more agile because of it´s wing´s . There all really good fighter jets and now with the F35 coming as well we will probable have one of the most powerful air force in Europe

[jefflai]

Rafale beats F16v and J10ce beats Rafale hands down, end of the story.

[familiagarcia]

J-10CE has more air to air kills than F-22,  

F-35, Eurofighter, Gripen and Rafale LOL 😆

Here's the difference: F-16C Viper is a combat proven warrior, has been for decades. And still being updated worldwide for decades more service.
It's a legend !🇺🇸
Rafael is still trying to prove itself. Never be a legend..
Viper has secured its place in history as the greatest jet fighter the past 45+ yrs.

[benjaminlamey]

but you are comparing pear and apples. teh Rafale is about the equivalent of an F18. the F16 would compare in size with teh French Mirage 2000, these are small airplanes.

[Shychiprivian]

Yet it is the only jet to score a kill against the f22

[happytotroll]

I hope the Rafele is better because it's a lot newer.

[quazars]

Dont judge the jet fighter by its price...😂

[ThamMalaysia]

4, 220 km or 2, 600 miles is not the combat radius, but the ferry range.

[michaelstorm]

From May 2025....we welcome comparisons between the🇨🇳 Chengdu J-10 and others.

[AltafHussain-xuuu]

The new name for Rafael should be Raw-fail after its perfamonce against JC10.

[leneanderthalien]

F16 opponent is the Mirage 2000, not the Rafale!

[dustyarain]

Both fighters are best in hollywood... 😂😂😂

[frankfrank]

Someone forgot the minus sign. “-4.5 Gen”.

[keithprinn]

media rubbish the 16 was considered by Australia before 1980 45 years ago lol.

[leonardhermary]

It'd be easy to extend jetting distance and capability.

[sajadxargar]

Three rafales were made to bite the dust in recent fight of ind vs pak although these are good jets but the pilots were less skilled.
