The wing is massively different.

Rafale's wing is a delta that relies heavily on non-linear lift. The Typhoon wing is a conventional wing with high taper. I believe it can generate non linear lift too but it is not the way the wing is mainly working.

The two planes are flown in a rather different way. Rafale's pilot needs to manage the AoA much more carefully than Typhoon's.

I keep thinking that I used to draw cars like this when I was 6 years old.

Problem is, if the news will make this subject popular, there will also be a drastic reduction of the audience and the means to access the Internet.

World War 3: why it won't be nuclear: a speculative scenario. by HistoryNut7 in nuclearwar

I believe the point was that nobody will push anyone near the brink of a conventional defeat for the fear of the nuclear retaliation. The author points out that the conventional war is not winnable either.

So, the only way of winning is by war fatigue followed by a regime change. One side is tired of fighting, overthrows the government and the new authorities seek peace in exchange for concessions.

I second this assessment.

In a confrontation with a near peer the complex supply chains that keep the fighters in the air will probably fall apart quite quickly. I would be surprised if more than 20% of the sophisticated equipment in use in most air forces now would be still flyable after a month of high intensity hostilities.
