France Agrees to 60 More Rafales

[PhilDernerJr]

I'd hate to say it, and I still don't understand why France would need these surrender jets, but the Rafale is one of the best-looking new fighters these days.

Perhaps laying the bedrock for significant foreign sales? US is going to have a very hard time selling fighters abroad. Too expensive.

Maybe a lot of market share to be picked up by other players down the road.
