Its like asking how well an F-15 will outperform an F-16. At long range its a piece of cake, but in closer its more difficult for the F-15 to come out on top.

Gripen could beat the Rafale, and the Hornet could beat either one in the right situation........

Im not being offencive but why do americans say everything pretty much they make is superior grippen could beat rafale fair enough wrong but fair enough but hornet could beat either of them what is the americans problem. I have huge respect for american hardware and the people themselves execpt from alabamians. But why why oh why do they say pretty much everything could beat other countrys hardware it so annoying please stop it stop it!

What I was saying, was that any of them could be the other one, it depends on the situation.........calm down a bit there.........

The rafale would beat both f-18, gripen for its more agile dogfight, the rafale is almost the same as the ef2000 which is newer than the gripen

No offense.

I understand what your on about in critisism but i have flow all of these aircraft on exchange programs. And the best of all is rafale for its supreme agility then the gripen for its amazing versatility and light fighter technology at no loss of capabitlity and then theres the hornet its a mixed bag as its a carrier aircraft so its designed for multirole. A good phrase for the f/a 18 would be a jack of all trades but arguably a master of none.
The reason i critise is because i know however everyone has there opinion and thats how it should be.

guys, guys, lay off. I unfortunately have to agree with examples in the case that v-bomber can get a little critical, however I do feel that v-bomber has a right. he has flown all of these aircraft and that would give him experience and knowlage in this field. therefor he should be able to point us out in our mistakes, i personally have never flown anything bigger than a cessna, and i am not sure about examples. so please, just chill.
