f-16, good plane.

Next year our air force will recieve the Dassault Mirage 2000, to replace ours old but beloved Dssault Super Étendard (good aircraft) .

Question: What is the best aircraft the F-16 (without modifications) or the Dassault Mirage 2000?

For me the Dassault Mirage 2000. We had confidence (we keep trusting) in the Dassault, and we were not wrong.

It's not “pavadas” all the crap you say.

There is a project to replace our super etendards for the Mirage 2000. Because France will change these planes, for a new model.

2: The Mirage is slightly better than the f-16. Only for nations with smaller budgets the French jet costs about double the ammount as the f-16 to buy.
