Rafael might not be modern but F-16As are practically ancient.Nope. Multiple Ukrainian F-16s been shot down by Russia Su-* fighters months ago.

This time around, Indian security forces are quickly securing the areas.Personally I won't believe the rafale claim until I see a burning Rafale airframe on the ground. The claims with the rail launcher and drop tanks I don't believe are concrete evidence of a Rafale, they very likely could just be for a mirage 2000.
India hit Pakistan. Video proof:Actually Pakistan intercepted 99% of Indian missiles, prove me wrong
What we do know is India lost 5 jets, including at least 1, more likely 3 of their most advanced model, to China's lowest end model, while attacking civilian targets and without shooting down a single PAF aircraft.
What does that tell you about how well IAF will do in a conflict with China?
Pictures of downed aircraft show part from French manufacturer
Pictures taken of parts of an aircraft that crashed in Indian-administered Kashmir show the label of a French manufacturer, lending support to Pakistan’s claims that it had shot down three of India’s top-of-the-line Rafale fighter jets.
The label shows an aircraft part from French filtration company Le Bozec et Gautier. Le Bozec is a French-based subsidiary of Minnesota’s Donaldson Company.
A press release from Donaldson in 2005, when it acquired Le Bozec, says the French company “designs, manufactures and sells filtration equipment for the management of air, fuel, hydraulic fluid and air pressure on aircraft and helicopters.”
CNN has not been able to independently verify whether the part shown in the pictures came from a Rafale jet, nor Pakistan’s claims of shooting down the aircraft.
The Rafale fighters are made by France’s Dassault Aviation.
BS, we know exactly which side you're on.That is a fuel tank buddy. Yes, carried by the Rafale. But the Rafale can drop it's fuel tank anytime. Doesn't mean the jet crashed. Until i see the actual debris of the Dassault, ill believe it.
Assuming a Dassault Rafale crashed by only having photo's of it's fuel tank is like India claiming they shot down the F-16 while only having a picture of the AIM-120 AMRAAM.
I am on no side here. only on the side of the truth. If clearer photos eventually surfaced, i will take back what i said.
Apparently the Chinese origin AESA radars shocked the Indians who couldn’t believe that they were the equal of or, surpassed the pinnacle of western tech. The French are blaming the incompetence of the Indians on the failure.
Literally Neanderthal level of cargo cult behaviour by india, come on modi, whoreship louis vuitton, maybe the handbag starts to fly and spin around its longitudinal axis or smth....Apparently the Chinese origin AESA radars shocked the Indians who couldn’t believe that they were the equal of or, surpassed the pinnacle of western tech.

It’s raining planes in Jai Hind land…
The "Indian in you" couldn't be repressed any longer lolMan, the misinformation on both sides is insane. I am not going to believe any aircraft has crashed until i see actual evidence of it and where they are from. Reuters reported on the Indian local government sources claiming at least 3 fighter jets crash. here is the thing, from which side are these jets from?
One sad fact about this conflict today was the Chinese defense system were rendered useless by India's standard missiles. Not a single Indian missile was intercepted.
