Pakistan's claims on downing Rafale jets rejected: In a massive revelation exposing the propaganda of Pakistan, Eric Trappier, the Chairman and CEO of the defence company responsible for making the Rafale fighter jets used by India, has dismissed Pakistan's claims about having shot down three Rafale fighter jets of the Indian Air Force during Operation Sindoor.
In an interview to French magazine Challenges, Trappier has said that 'What Pakistan is claiming about downing three Rafales is simply not true.' Why India lost one Rafale fighter aircraft during Operation Sindoor?
However, the Dassault CEO has also clarified that India lost one Rafale fighter aircraft due to a technical failure at high altitude during Operation Sindoor. The Dassault CEO has further specified that the Spectra electronic warfare systems did not record any hostile engagements during Operation Sindoor, which exposes the propaganda of Pakistan.
The Chairman of the company has made it clear that has no official communication from the Indian Air Force indicating any such losses have been received.
'What we already know is that what the Pakistanis are saying about destroying three Rafale planes is inaccurate,' Trappier said.
In the interview just ahead of the Paris Air Show, Trappier highlighted the formidable reputation of the Rafale as a premier multirole fighter jet. 'If you want a single aircraft capable of air-to-air combat, reconnaissance, ground strikes, nuclear deterrence, and aircraft carrier deployment, Rafale is unmatched,' he asserted. What did Pakistan claim during Operation Sindoor?
Notably, Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif had earlier claimed that Pakistani forces downed five Indian aircraft, including three Rafales, and captured Indian soldiers during a retaliatory attack following India's airstrikes during Operation Sindoor. However, it has not released any evidence to support these claims.
