IF. Let me repeat that IF.
So far there has been no evidence that any Indian aircraft has been shot down. When asked by Becky Anderson of CNN what evidence they had Pakistan’s Defence Minister stated that Indian Social Media had shown pictures of wreckage.
Several news channels have shared photos of what purports to be the tail unit of a Rafale BS 001.
However, Flight Global has pointed out several discrepancies with the proof. Awkward discrepancies in Indian Rafale shootdown image. The report states
“First, on Indian air force Rafale’s the word ‘Rafale’ is printed in plain font at the top of the rudder.

On the tail lying in the field, the text appears to be in italics.

“There is another discrepancy, also with the rudder. On pictures of known Indian Rafales, a vertical seam line intersects the top of the rudder at an angle. On the rudder in the field, this vertical seam appears to intersect the top of the rudder at a right angle.
“Although slight, these details raise questions about the images’ authenticity.”
IDK which report is true. However, given that everything is under close scrutiny, it doesn’t make sense for the MOD to try and conceal the loss of an aircraft. If it happened and it can be proved they lose all credibility.
Much is being made of the vaunted Chinese PL-15E BVRAAM (Beyond Visual Range Air to Air Missile) which reportedly can hit a aircraft at a range of 145 km. One intact missile which missed its target and presumably ran out of fuel has been recovered from a field near Hoshiarpur.

Not just the DRDO but also agencies in Japan, South Korea and USA have asked if they could be allowed to examine the missile or receive the analysis data.
It will NEVER be confirmed
India today is a CULT rather than a Nation
A Cult in the grasp of :-
- Narendra Modi and the BJP and Hindutva movement
- Social Media Platforms – X & Whatsapp
- Mainstream “Godi” Media
Together these three entities set a “NARRATIVE” which everyone must follow or else..
Anyone who goes against this narrative is :-
- A Wumao/CCP Bot
- Pakistani
- Anti Indian
He or she will be subject to draconian Nazi era ostracism by the Masses who are utterly brainwashed with the propaganda and narratives
A Few Indians do raise their voices but they are shouted down
Some Indians do think rationally and don’t swallow the tripe of the three entities but they have no other choice
They stay unpopular, abused, trolled and they have only two options :-
A. Either get silenced
B. Avoid the Narrative and chose something that is outside the narrative like Animals, Movies, Demographic Maps or Sports
The Armed forces are also unfortunately governed by this massive propaganda machinery
Hence their “No Comments” on the shooting down of the Rafales
So Indian Armed Forces can NEVER LOSE
They will never admit their losses and if anyone refuses to believe their own successess – the Propaganda machinery gets into action and goes into a torrent of abuse and trolling
So if you write answers like India crushed everything and decimated Pakistan to surrender, you become popular and liked
I even got a message today ago offering me a deal that if I spoke about the Law, Economy and China and leave Politics, Military affairs and Pakistan, people would not troll me or abuse me
So any fruitful discussion in India is OUT OF THE QUESTION
It’s a Mini North Korea where you keep praising Kim and count your days
It was just Indians but now a Profile of a Possible Striptease / Streetwalker with an American name is also jumping on the bandwagon of propaganda and mayhem.
