India Lucky Not To Lose More Than Four Rafales

Suspect it will be September. It will require time to put together?

My guess is both. In last issue (July) they stated aa full report of PAF version will be in August issue (after the let someone report on Indian version).

My guess is Warned will do a actual 7-9th May "Combat report" and talk about the kills and events.

Maybe in Sep and even Oct issues we may see some more in depth arricles on equipment, bases, training etc. Travelling to Pakistan (even as guest of PAF) is time consuming and expensive so he will want to make the most of it by stretching out the content he is collecting, which will probably be too much for one issue anyway.

Quick tip guys, I know it gets posted here, but AFM only gets by is people BUY the magazine, please do, it will be in most larger WH Smiths outlets

Agree - people should go out and buy the August edition for sure. I am a subscriber so it always turns up at my door step!

I donty subscribe, maybe I should, but travel for work often so tend to get most issues at the airport, perfect read for 2-3 hour European flight. Got into a real routine now

Get to Heathrow/Luton early, buy AFM, sit for relaxed lounge breakfast of salmon, eggs and coffee and read the best bits of AFM. This up coming one is probably my most anticipated issue knowing that Warnes went all teh way to Pakistan straight after the skirmish, must have been a good reason PAF invited him so quickly.

Yeah, nice one. As you cam imagine, if no one buys it as we can all read it online here, then eventually Warnes will stop doing coverage. If as many of us buy it as possible, AFM gonna make sure he does Pakistan frequently!

I have the August 2025 edition of AFM infront of me now, was delivered this morning. The main focus is "B-2's bomb Iran", with pages 46-50 dedicated to the PAF/IAF exchange. The commentary is a rendition of the facts of the sequence of events, with 3 pilots ( Gripen, Rafale and F16C pilots ) providing their 'view' of the course of events over the days and their professional interpretations. Nothing major in the there regarding the shootdowns, other than there were some with the PAFs message of 3 Rafales, Su30MKI and Mig29's only mentioned ( no mention of drone, or Mirage2000 ).

Seems like we will have to wait till Sep issue now as Warnes is still in Pakistan
 
Well the seem to have lost a 5th one as well- obviously speculation.
