Rafale's Stealth Gap vs. F-35: Why France Is Betting on Speed, Numbers, and Networked Warfare

Industry insiders describe the F5 as transforming a 1990s airframe into a near-sixth-generation combat node — integrating loyal-wingman drones, advanced data fusion, and nuclear-strike connectivity. France acknowledges the Rafale cannot match the F-35's low-observable profile, but argues that speed, mass, and network-centric warfare may better suit modern battlefields.
