You will notice that in that video, the Rafale managed to gain a simulated lock on the F-22 twice if I remember correctly.
Question is, how many times did the F-22 lock on the Rafale in that video.
There was also a part in that video that when the Rafale saw the Raptor, the F-22's nose was pointed straight at her already, that could have been a simulated lock for the F-22 right there.
When it comes to Agility, the British claim that the Rafale performs very similar to the EF Typhoon. It's not a far fetched claim as the 2 fighters share very similar aerodynamic layouts.
But according to the British themselves, the Raptor is superior on most maneuvering metrics

the reality of the last confrontations are 7 to 1 in favor of the rafale, and the rafale was limp when eurofigter scored 1 time, f-22 vs rafale is equal seen the video have burst advantage from start to finish.which is stange f-22 1 victory no vidéo 5 Equality and 1 loss .For me the video of the fight f-22 vs rafale must be a victory rafale .French army or air made this video for a reason,proves a victory for rafale that has not been validated by us Air Force. Why British driver did not want to face the rafale! you should ask yourself ? The rafale is as good as the f-22, you will not have to say otherwise!The frenzy on the generations of aircraft as for me it is just of anything...
And at what the French technology would be less good ques the others? Equivalent OK, but less good forgiveness but there it is you who do not like France.
Anything else, you saw the results(profits) of the exercises led between Gusts(Bursts) and Typhoon? For information the English people do not any more want to reattempt these exercises, and Gust(Burst) widely dominated him(it), I invent nothing, visits on the clear(net) all the sources(springs) which I was able to see say the same thing.
Furthermore, the evaluations of the countries which one tried this plane places him(it) in all the domains above the typhoon, look at those of Switzerland, Brazil, South Korea, they are all all right top.
Thus we shall go back so that Typhoon is better even there dog fight ^^
Attention I do not say that it is the best plane, but when we look at the difference between both programs, that of Eurofighter was much more expensive for a device which in put three years more being born, nevertheless developed and built with the cooperation of 4 countries!
And there is as well a fact as to deal with a country to manage a contract as this one is already very complicated, then if we add three countries more... That has to be a nameless horror at the level of the agreements and of the transfers of technology.
You have the right to prefer Typhoon, no worries, but inquire about the notices of the other countries which were able to test it, it is not that a valuable story.
