The tag made a mistake, that's not Rafale M, that's Gripen E.
@F/A-18F All accounts can edit posts; do that next time instead of commenting. I've never been much for modern European aircraft so I get their deltawings mixed up all the time.

While the current 4.5 Euro jets all have canards and delta wings, there's an easy way to tell from the front:
Gripen has the intakes on the sides
Rafale has round intakes displaced below the cockpit.
Typhoon has one big, square intake split into two underneath the fuselage.
This has been an announcement from your local jetwatchers. Have a wonderful day!
