France stopped UAE to deploy its Rafales against Azeri JF-17 Block 3 in Falcons Meet 2026 war drills

French in general traumatized by two things in recent history first because of first lady and second selling Rafale jets to India.

The French have been marketing the Rafale as their national pride and most sophisticated fighter for many decades. In fact, the Europeans often parade it as their best fighter. Even better than the EF. It hurts them to admit that this happened. It has been a humiliation.

France can't escape the fact that the Rafale it is selling to certain nations will face action versus aircraft of adversaries. This will happen again. Keeping the Rafale hidden during exercises won't do any good.

I don't know about that, man.

I mean..., they just recieved the 1st Rafale earlier this year in April.

How many do you think they have (by now)?

Besides, even when we recieved out first batch of J-10c's..., everyone was like it will take a while before the new type is incorportated in the system.

PAF recieved the J-10's in ... 2022.

The first time it participated in an Excerise was at home, during Indus Shield - two years later in 2024.

Besides..., if France wanted to play spoiler with the whole JF-17 game - I doubt they would have had an issue with the Azeri ones just to keep India happy.

PAF has already gone up against the Rafales 3 times.

& that Excercise that took place in Qatar a couple of years back.

You are right, but the French are butthurt after investigating the downing of their Rafale fighters during Sindoor. The French probably don't want PAF to learn more about this aircraft. In reality, as you rightfully claim, PAF has already extensively flown against the Rafale. In fact, there are claims that Pakistani fighters have even actually flown the Rafale itself. This is just butthurt by the French and it makes sense after Sindoor. The French are pretending to be cautious.

Those are just YouTube walley chacha stories.

Do you know that these Air Forces (in the region) have support staff from Dassault at all times...

So, its NOT like they can take anyone up for a joyride.
 
I think they already sent that memo to the indians..
We don't like it see Russian President Putin who invite our P.M and offer USD 2 billion investment and politely request please don't highlight the destruction of S-400 it hurts our pocket.

So Macron the antique collector to be honest old witch collector should visit Pakistan and bow down Saar pls spare Rafales.
 
French know what happened in May 2025 😅😅😅
And they will remember it you may know that latest order from India is on hold France is not confirming it may be they wanted to add clause don't use it against Pakistan or don't even fly it just offer coconut and lemon on every Saturday and observe fast.
 
May be France took this advise seriously....



No one wants bad publicity of their aircraft as said by our legendry pilots don't sell your aircrafts to Indians they are doing very bad publicity of your aircrafts.

What gems the PAF produces! I feel proud and honored that two of my Merhum uncles served with the PAF....
 
For 20 years of service no Rafale downed but when very first time they face PAF their Rafale fell like dead birds. So who wants their national asset a prize asset got humiliated like that.
On top of it Rafale is earmarked for carrying nukes should the need arise....
 
The French are known to be very arrogant and stubborn. Their arrogance has been absolutely shattered. This is absolute fear that we are witnessing.
And, they love Jules Verne like other-worldly complexities, cunningness and intricacies in their engineering! Thanks to the Bharatis, their confidence has got shattered....
