India Lucky Not To Lose More Than Four Rafales

[Hayabusa]

Can laugh only utter nonsense this is.

Pakistan's claim is at least supported by a credible publisher like Alan Warnes, who is pinning the number at four Rafales. On the other hand, the Indian Air Force Chief is bragging about six kills, a claim so bold that absolutely nobody on the world stage is willing to support it.

Dont think his Government supports him, there has been zero official mention of his claim after he made it. Think the guy may well of actually been drunk.....

These Four are said to have been shotdown , now waiting for the one damaged number .

1. BS001 No. 17 Squadron
2. BS022 No. 101 Squadron
3. BS027 No. 101 Squadron
4. BS021 No. 101 Squadron

I will not be surprised if indians paint these serial numbers on their existing Rafales and show them in any fly pass.

If out of nowhere, 3 months later they can claim shooting down PAF jets then you can expect any cheap act from indians.

Might be the 4th one
Although visually only one is confirmed so far - 001

PAF Airchief is reported to went on to command from deter to destroy and instructed, "I want Rafales"
PAF only obliged .

by the grace of the Almighty Allah SWT, india and its military has been shown who's the real power in the region, which is Pakistan. Any action india takes again will be its eventual permanent downfall.

let them bring all their su's and raf's......they'll all fall from the sky!
PAF is the king of the skies in the region. Second to None.

Probably PL15 proximity was a bit off at detonation or Rafale managed to pull an evasive measure just in time.....again, pure luck.

Apart from the Four Rafales shot down over India , another Rafale was also hit as well, but managed to limp back to base.

"The fact that an Indian single-seater Rafale hit by a Pakistani air-to-air missile (of Chinese manufacture) managed to return safely and save the life of its pilot finally convinced the Indian Air Force of its desire to order a hundred Rafales".

Avec les Indiens il faut toujours s’armer de patience même si les voyants sont au vert depuis le printemps dernier, et notamment l’opération aérienne (mal ficelée) contre le Pakistan. Le fait qu’un Rafale monoplace indien touché par un missile air-air pakistanais (de facture chinoise) ait réussi à revenir à bon port et à sauvegarder la vie de son pilote a terminé de convaincre l’Indian Air Force de sa volonté de commander une centaine de Rafale.

and in particular the ( poorly put together ) air operation against Pakistan. The fact that an Indian single-seater Rafale hit by a Pakistani air-to-air missile ( of Chinese manufacture ) managed to return safely and save the life of its pilot finally convinced the Indian Air Force of its desire to order a hundred Rafales.

So in a ratio of 4:1 with 4 jets shot down for every 1 being able to return to base....IAF has decided to order 114 Rafales....meaning they are expecting a good 70-80 of them to be shot down. Priceless.

 

[baqai]

i have a personal feeling its a lot more than 4 rafales that r down.......

Modi ki shalwar utaar di bhai aur kia down karna hai

The sight of some of your prized birds not returning to base and then one limping trailing thick black smoke and parts missing must be soul destroying for the fellow pilots and ground crew .
