Why the Dassault Rafale fighter?
By most accounts,this is not a particularly good platform, yet France is selling them like hotcakes.

Bill I think part of it is because the French are not too picky about what countries they arms sell to.

France will sell to any dirt bag despot in the world. The only requirement to buy a French fighter as far as I can tell is hard cold cash.
