Question: aerodynamic of La Rafale

According to the aerodynamics, area rule on aircraft, especially for subsonic or transonic, does aircraft reducing drag much more than cylinder design.

Variant aircraft was used different area ruled shape for individually subsonic or supersonic aspects. Eurofighter for example was designed as a bulging fuselage, which makes the frontal fuselage looks more sharp, this maybe good for supersonic or transonic, but Rafale, as we can see, was not designed as wasp-waist, conversely, the waist across wing section looks more fat than nose part or tail part.

I wonder what principle the Rafale designer used?

Area rule is applied to all supersonic designs emile, but with modern techniques, computers and decades of experience the application of this principle is much more subtle than it was in the days of the F-102 and Buccaneer etc so it is not readily visible to the eye.
