Introduction
India's \"Rafale\" jets are back in action, this time seeking revenge against the J-10C. Unfortunately, devastating news from Ukraine shattered India's resolve, breaking through their defenses completely.
展开剩余92%India's recent international humiliation has been severe. Not only did U.S. President Trump twice confirm that India lost five jets, but multiple military institutions and professional journals, including France's Dassault Aviation, also verified India's losses. The latest confirmation came from the UK's \"Air Force Monthly,\" stating that four \"Rafale\" jets, not three, were shot down. India is now eager to regain its reputation and recently conducted large-scale aerial exercises on the India-Pakistan border.
Four Jets Down! India's \"Rafale\" Myth Shattered
India's Air Force has recently faced a string of setbacks. The \"Rafale\" fighter jets, purchased at great expense from France, were intended to assert dominance on the border but were dealt a heavy blow right after takeoff. The UK's \"Air Force Monthly\" first revealed that in May's India-Pakistan air skirmish, four \"Rafale\" jets, not three, were downed by Pakistan's J-10C.
Adding insult to injury, President Trump added fuel to the fire by publicly mentioning at a White House dinner that \"five aircraft were shot down in the India-Pakistan conflict,\" although he did not specify attribution. Combined with information from France's Dassault Aviation and U.S. intelligence agencies, India became the target of criticism.
The catalyst for this air battle began in May of this year with India's \"Operation Red Sand,\" a military strike that launched missiles into Pakistan. In response, the Pakistan Air Force swiftly retaliated using the Thunder-15E missiles mounted on the J-10CE, hitting Indian jets from beyond visual range.
Most dramatically, India's hopes of using the advanced electronic warfare systems of the \"Rafale\" to turn the tide were dashed when Pakistan's electronic warfare pods suppressed them, causing radar and communication link failures, rendering them blind and deaf. Photos of the wreckage later revealed that the downed \"Rafale\" with serial number BS001 was riddled with bullet holes, its engine compartment severely deformed—characteristic of combat damage, even acknowledged by French experts.
Trust Crisis Amidst International Certifications
India's reputation has suffered a blow on the international stage. The UK's \"Air Force Monthly\" listed the specific serial numbers of the downed \"Rafale\" jets: BS001, BS005, BS011, and BS013, totaling a staggering $1.25 billion.
After recovering these jet remnants, Pakistan sent some components to China for technical analysis, revealing that despite the \"Rafale's\" advanced RBE2 radar, it only had 836 T/R modules, inferior in detection range and anti-jamming capability compared to the J-10C's active phased array radar.
Ironically, in an attempt to cover up losses, India used AI technology to fabricate a video of Foreign Minister Sujay Sharma, trying to confuse the public. However, this attempt was exposed by the Indian media, becoming an international laughingstock.
France also found itself in an awkward position. Initially, Dassault Aviation insisted the \"Rafale\" crashed due to technical faults, only to be contradicted by French Air Force Chief of Staff Beranger who privately admitted at least one was shot down.
Dassault CEO Trappier first claimed no \"Rafale\" was shot down, then hastily reversed course, stating \"the possibility of being hit cannot be ruled out.\" Such inconsistent statements have tarnished France's military reputation. Now, Qatar and the UAE are reconsidering their plans to purchase the \"Rafale,\" unwilling to buy a \"combat fragile aircraft.\"
Back home, India erupted in outrage. Rahul Gandhi, leader of the opposition Congress Party, questioned Modi's government on social media, \"What is the truth behind the downing of five aircraft?\" Only to be angrily rebuked by BJP lawmakers as a \"traitor.\"
While Indian media hyped the \"Rafale's\" tactical success, they also revealed continuous jet crash accidents—on July 9, an \"Amur Tiger\" attack aircraft crashed during training, killing two pilots. This was the third such incident this year. This \"tough talk but soft body\" approach has shattered public trust in the military.
Anxiety and Helplessness Behind Border Exercises
In a bid to restore its reputation, India recently held large-scale aerial exercises on the India-Pakistan border. From July 23 to 25, the Indian Air Force assembled \"Rafale,\" Su-30MKI, \"Phantom-2000,\" and other mainstay fighters in Rajasthan, even inviting foreign military officers to observe.
On the surface, it was a \"show of strength,\" but it exposed a fatal weakness of the Indian Air Force: incompatible systems. The \"Rafale\" uses French data links, the Su-30MKI operates on Russian systems, and the \"Falcon\" early warning aircraft comes from Israel—these equipments are fundamentally incompatible, causing the \"Meteor\" missile of the \"Rafale\" to lack effective guidance and can only fight alone.
Even more embarrassingly, this exercise was under the full scrutiny of the Pakistan Air Force. Pakistan deployed ZDK-03 early warning aircraft and J-10CE, conducting electronic interference exercises on the other side of the border. As a result, the radar screen of Indian fighters was full of snow, and the communication channel was covered with noise.
The Indian Air Force had to urgently cancel the exercise and withdraw the fighters to the base. Such \"just unsheathed sword was broken\" operations made international military experts unable to look away—commented on \"Defense News\" of the United States, India spent $20 billion to buy equipment, and even the most basic system integration was not done well, like \"Ferrari engine installed in tractor\".
India's anxiety is also reflected in the public opinion warfare. They banned more than 8000 social media accounts of \"Rafale\" was shot down, while spending money to ask \"former F-15 pilots\" to make up the lies of \"bait tactics\" to claim that \"Rafale\" used Israeli X-Guard system to deceive the Thunder-15E missile.
As a result, it was beaten in a fact: X-Guard was not integrated into \"Rafale\", and in the picture, that all the,
