I think today even the French would beat them...

What aircraft are you particularly attacking?

The high-tech German Eurofighter which will be carrying the IRIS-T and
Taurus s/o weapon, radar-cancelling emitter pod and IR scrambling
wingtip sensors?

The ICE Phantoms that can fire AIM-120s?

The re-engineered MiG 29s that beat the USN and Marines several times
in mock combat?

The Panavia Tornado that can fly 75 ft off the deck at 920 mph armed
with an array of weapons plus Mauser's 27mm BK-27?


.... speak up... I can't hear you...

p.s. Despite your trolling I don't find fault with the French aircraft
of history. There's plenty of them to be proud of: Nieuports, Spads,
D.520, Arsenal VG 33, Ouragan, Mystere, Super Mystere, Mirages,
Vautour, Entendard, and Rafale. And of course the civilian Montgolfier
balloons, Caravelle and Concorde.
