You guys are funny. My last USAF job before retirement was weapons export policy. the JSF guy and the F-22 guy sat right next to me. Let's put it this way. The JSF guy was buried. The other guy had F-22 as an additional duty...i.e. a hobby. No, not much action there and there won't be for a LOOOOONG time.

The Rafale is stealth?


Not like the F-22 and F-35, but the designers have tried to minimize it's radar cross section by applying radar absorbing materials/constructions and electronics. When the B-1B visited the Paris Air Show, the French were surprised by it's late appearance on the radarscope.
