India's Rafale dream shattered in combat

India's Rafale dream shattered in combat

Pakistan's military claims to have shot down five Indian fighter jets – including three state-of-the-art French Rafale warplanes – on the night between May 6 and 7 as it retaliated against India missile attack on civilian infrastructure at six locations along the Working Boundary and the Line of Control.

New Delhi has yet to officially confirm the loss of its prized assets, but independent sources lend credibility to the Pakistani military claim, marking the first combat loss of a Rafale fighter jet anywhere in the world.

As soon as the news of India's naked aggression broke late Tuesday night, reports emerged on various social media platforms about the downing of Indian combat aircraft. Indian netizens were either silent of trying to deny the reports.

However, DG ISPR Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif officially confirmed at a news briefing on Wednesday that five Indian Air Force jets had been shot down including three Rafale fighter jets, one MiG-29, and one SU30. He also claimed that a Heron combat drone was also shot down.

According to the military spokesperson, "These aircraft were brought down over various locations: in Indian Punjab near Bathinda, in Indian-Occupied Jammu (two near Awantipora, one near Akhnoor), and one near Srinagar."

He said that the Indian jets were downed by the Pakistan Air Force

Pakistan maintains that it shot down two Indian jets in 2019, while Indian President Ram Nath Kovind awarded Wing Commander Abhinandan the third-highest military honor, the "Vir Chakra," for allegedly downing a Pakistani F-16.
