Third party sources, the French, already confirmed at least one Rafale shootdown and they say they are being prevented by India from investigating if any more were lost.Don't think China will want to embarrass India any further as it will force them to retaliate against Pakistan to save face. It will not help the current situation as it might blow up again if there are no illusion of Modi and India won this round(At least in Indians own mind). Right now India can still giving out ambivalent answers to their fighter jet loss as long as no one out there can prove what happen May-7th then both side can still have their own win narrative.
We might have to wait 5-6 years from now for the leak 'third party sources' to confirm May 7th shoot downs just like Yankeesama only mention this after a period of time when things don't matter anymore as much.
You can't really embarrass India. When you shoot down/destroy their planes, they just say all your wreckage pictures are AI or just spare parts made to look like a shootdown. Then they claim they shot down 25 of your jets and just repeat it over and over until they all believe each other. When you kill their soldiers, they say the corpses are all dead Pakistanis dressed up as Indians and the actual Indian soldiers all died within 2 weeks after the conflict due to separate traffic accidents. I don't know if it's a brave mask to hide a crying face or if they're really that stupid but you can't embarrass people like that just like you can't embarrass hobos crawling around in mud flinging poop.
