Alas, Europe knew since (at least) 2002 and The Netherlands chosing F-35, than sooner rather than later, F-35 will turn steamroller over the three Eurocanards. Surely it has been delayed by F-35 early troubles and Lockheed assasine development costs, but this time is now over, and the steamroller is now unstoppable. 1000 airframe is merely 1/3rd of the planned final production run.Grippen E was the first casualty, then Typhoon, and while Rafale still resists, that domino will fall like the other two.France is actually lucky Rafale broke its no-sale curse in 2015 with Egypt and got a (still going) window of opportunity between F-16 Block 70 and F-35. That window however is presently closing faster and faster.
