French official says Pakistan downed Rafale jet as officials examines possible further losses​

A high-ranking French intelligence official told CNN today that one Rafale fighter jet operated by the Indian Air Force was downed by Pakistan, in what would mark the first time that one of the sophisticated French-made warplanes has been lost in combat.

Pakistan claimed earlier today to have shot down five Indian Air Force jets in retaliation for Indian strikes, including three Rafales. Indian officials are yet to respond to the claim.

The French official told CNN that French authorities were looking into whether more than one Rafale jets were shot down by Pakistan overnight.

Pictures taken of parts of an aircraft that crashed in Indian-administered Kashmir show the label of a French manufacturer, but experts said it was not possible to say whether the part came from a Rafale aircraft.

Dassault Aviation, the French manufacturer of the jet, has not responded to CNN’s requests for comment.

Some background: The Rafale is a 10-ton, twin-engine multirole fighter, equipped with a 30mm cannon for air combat and ground support, along with air-to-air missiles, laser-guided bombs, and cruise missiles.

Before this latest escalation, India had 36 Rafale jets in its Air Force, purchased from French manufacturer Dassault Aviation.
The French military has not officially commented on the incident.

indians spamming 'grok verify!!!" all over Twitter is so pitifully pathetic. This whole embarrassment is really testing their spinology to the max haha!

Saaaaaaar grok saar confirm pleej!

Do they not know how it works? It's only as good as the data it can get. There's no way it can get the latest info on stuff like this when a lot can't even be confirmed yet ffs

Indians keep boasting how they are an AI superpower yet have little idea how it works. They just expect it to do all the work for them. So what do we need them for then?

Anything they can buy are all live targets facing PAF & PLAAF, who always have more & superior counterparts in equipment.

Meanwhile, considering India's actions and performance in this conflict, everyone will think twice before sending anything to India.

and thats just vs Pakistan. Imagine their dream of 2 front war with both China and Pakistan. there will be no IAF at the end of that conflict.

Listening to Jai hinds is tiring. As a westerner I can't believe how much propaganda they consume.

If visual proof wasn't enough, Jim is very reputable and this is almost as good as direct French confirmation.

It has become rather mainstream in the West in the last 24 hours:

It is horrifying the reliance that people have on a LLM on current events lol.

There's enough cope induced usage of the AI to power a small country at this point. I don't think musk anticipated indian cope when he introduced the AI.

Even on Reddit I have seen the internet army being activated, with all discussions being at minimum astroturffed heavily.

You are wrong, like other goals, India will be an AI power, but not now

All I can say is that thank god they didn’t fuck around in 2020. They might not have had much of an Air Force left at the end of it.

That said members within China who travel to Tibet should probably place flowers and J-10C/PL-15 models in the Martyr’s Mauseoleum there.

MAGA and Jai Hind are essentially the same kind of people. They are desperate for any form of external brain to think for them, whether it is LLM or populist leaders

The funny thing is a lot of time, grok actually disagrees with them. Then they get mad and try arguing with it telling how it's wrong. No wonder there were rumours that grok might get banned in India.

I scanned through some news media websites and some Indian sites, they used the word "crash" instead of "shot down". What a joke!
