An RAF pilot who participated in the actual exercise said to me that: "We have no idea how good it is in comparison to us as we are not allowed to merge with it in dogfights."
A senior industry source (who also didn't want to be named) said:
"The stories about the Rafale vs Typhoon are an unjustified and unfair representation of what actually occurred.
In the exercise sorties Typhoons and Rafales worked together on the same team! There were red Typhoon/Rafale combos and blue Typhoon/Rafale combos.
During the CT (continuation training) sorties outside ATLC both Typhoon and Rafale squadrons were conducting work-up sorties for their junior pilots and yes - mistakes were made on both sides where some results like those quoted did occur (but both for and against Rafale) - however to make a big deal about training results would be unfair and entirely unrepresentative.”
I hope to learn more now that 3 Squadron are back.
I think that Rafale probably did well against F-22, but in that context, it just means they took longer to be wiped out.
