Last update: In recent days, after the video was finished, F-35 was in final negotiations for further orders (but did not sign contracts yet) for 35 airframes to Germany and 88 airframes for Canada.The video itself goes in depth on why the French made Rafale fighter jet did not have any export successes at first, and then managed to rake in most of its export deals to date within the last 15 or so months. What changed in the meantime and how did the geopolitics and its competition “allow it” to be so successful?
