India now begins to upgrade their Mirage2000H in France , if Dassault would not have stopped its productionlines, i would have benn not surprised if India would have choosen to buy more Mirage2000

I don't know what India needs, but saying that the Rafale is a better fighter than the Eurofighter is ludicrous to say the least.
If France stopped sitting on their thumb and
collaborated with the rest of Europe (like they're keen on doing with Airbus), we might well be capable of delivering better stuff than US or Russia.
