A high-ranking French intelligence official told CNN that Pakistan downed one Rafale fighter jet operated by the Indian Air Force (IAF), in what would mark the first time that one of the sophisticated French-made warplanes has been lost in combat. Pakistan had claimed to have shot down five IAF jets in retaliation for Indian strikes, including three Rafales. Indian officials are yet to respond to the claim.
WOW!
If Pakistan knocked down an Indian Rafale with a Chinese jet this will send shockwaves thru the French version of our DoD. It will tank sales in a heartbeat. I need more info!
