India Lost 1 Rafale Jet During Op Sindoor, But Pakistan Did Not Do It: Dassault CEO’s Fresh Claim

Dassault Aviation CEO Eric Trappier has officially refuted Pakistan Air Force’s claim that it downed three Indian Rafale jets during Operation Sindoor. Speaking to French outlet Avion Chasse, Trappier confirmed that only one Rafale was lost, and that too due to a technical malfunction at high altitude, not enemy fire. He emphasized that Spectra electronic warfare systems recorded no hostile engagement, and all flight logs matched India’s version of events. This comes amid a disinformation campaign, allegedly backed by Chinese lobbies, to undermine France’s defence credibility and promote Chinese jets like the J-10C. France’s Defence Ministry has called this an attack not just on the aircraft, but on France’s strategic autonomy and defence partnerships. As the Operation Sindoor narrative unfolds, Pakistan’s credibility continues to be questioned, while Dassault Aviation stands firm behind Rafale.#rafalejet #dassaultaviation #operationsindoor #pakistanairforce #india #pakistan #indianairforce #indiafrancerelations #erictrappier #j10c #spectrasystem #defencenews #fighterjets #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews
