rumours, fog of war, so take it with a grain of salt, but one of the downed aircraft is India's new overpriced French Rafale
I doubt that it's one of the top end models. france-india only inked that weapons supply deal with the rafale-Ms a week ago. I don't think they had Ms from previous deals but idk, I don't have that fighter jet neurodivergence.
I think India already had 30 operational Rafales before the new deal.
You called it a week ago congrats : https://hexbear.net/comment/6106194
Video on twitter showing wreckage of missile pylon and French MICA missile and huge flames behind (jet wreckage burning?), filmed by locals speaking. This might be proof of Rafale being shot down.
If France's top of the line jet got shot down by Chinese missile, it's a huge PR win for China's aerospace industry lol
yawn I'm going to sleep, nothing ever happens anyway
Excited to never talk about this again by the end of the week
shit has this ever happened before during their border wars?
A couple Indian and Pakistani planes were shot down in 2019 as well.
TBH this would be a pretty big incident between most countries but it seems to happen every couple years with India and Pakistan. There have been about half a dozen incidents of this scale (and one war) since Pakistan got nukes in 1998.
Edit: They're saying its five planes now. This is a pretty big deal
This is not a good sign
Damn not like I wanted to sleep anyways
Whoops sorry wrong thread but yeah not a good sign. I hope cooler heads like China or Russia can step in and mediate this.

Whopps wrong thread but yeah not good. I hope China or Russia can step in and intervene.
Yea same, Pakistan Vs India is obviously heavily tilted in favor of India but if China joins in to back up Pakistan and Russian backs up India hopefully it will be more even footing for both of them to ensure a fairer war
