Evidence : IAF Rafale Jet Shot Down

[Zarvan]

First of all there is no evidence of three Rafales down.
Most likely one in Bhatinda and that's it.

It has got to with the RoE followed by IAF that day.
RoE had been not to target any Pakistani military assets.

That's why no BVRs or S-400 were launched though PAF was loitering very close to the border on May7.

On May 10 IAF sent SCAlps and Brahmos to every Pakistani airbase in tandem to give sample of things to come. We have more than 1000 Brahmos and SCALP, only 15 were used that day.

At least two are now fully confirmed. The only question is whether third one was Mirage 2000 or that was also Rafael.

Can you share the 2nd Rafale proof? BS-001 is quite clear

1 Rafale
1 mirage 2000(fratricide)

Another toad is just out of the well now.
Dude! This is not a meme page.
And cow cola destroys brain cells. Avoid it.

they dominated the entire airspace with their pilots releasing constipated vegie farts

 

[suriya]

Really, I think you drank too much gao muttar today! IAF could not even dominate airspace on its side of the border.

He is saying the truth.
I mean let's discuss what happened on May10 when RoE was clear. Any Sat images of damages that Pakistan says it attacked on 26 places?? While damages on 11 PAF bases is clear from Sat images.

Do you understand the meaning of dominating air space? Air space is not dominated remotely from 400 KM away from the border with fighters hidden under bunkers. Air dominance in not hybrid work in a scammer call center

1 Rafale
1 mirage 2000(fratricide)
1 mig 29

and that's it.

There are at least 5 different places where plane wreckage are found which are KMs away from each other. So yes there were at least 5. Heron is separate.

and that's it.

How can you claim one is blue on blue when IAF has not commented at all on these losses? Or let me guess, just more regular social media Indian BS!?

2 Rafale is confirmed. Not 3.

Second Rafale confirmed shows a different M88 engine wreck where the combustion section housing is split. The first Rafale's M88 engine wreck - one of the two engines is shown not to have the split.

These were leaked out of Indian social media on the 7th, before Indian government issued internet censorship, banned over 8 thousand twitter accounts from operating and being shown in India and banned Indian posters from uploading any video and images of the conflict or wrecks. Indian government started jailing individuals uploading images and videos so all the available ones are from early on the 7th only.


The M88 engine from Rafale of the "first downed" Rafale":





Second M88 engine wreck different to the one above, notice the split damage at top and different levels of damage to the engine nozzle petals.

It could be two engines from the same Rafale.

If not, these are already two M88 engines of separate Rafales.

 

[Assault Rifle]

Only four losses of IAF, out of that only one is Rafale.
Mirage- Pampore
Rafale- Bhatinda
Mig 29S- Ramban-Awantipora axis.
Mig 29UB- Akhnoor.

All pilots ejected successfully and recovered within minutes by CSAR teams and nearby army formations.

On May 10 story was totally different though, IAF completely dominated PAF in strikes missions.

On 10th May you didn't flew a single plane. It was your drones and ground based Brahmos which were doing the strikes. Your Air Force didn't flew a single plane after 7th.

Your aircraft were grounded after May 7th. No sorties were flown.

The Many Failures of Operation Sindoor

Four facts, undisputed by any major party to the conflict, are enough to understand that Operation Sindoor's shortcomings at the tactical, strategic, and diplomatic levels.

So Mirage was own goal?

What about this?

Not at all.
Your own ISPR DG admitted we used to air to ground missiles to strike Noor Khan, Murid and Shorkot.
