I mean CNN itself as an organization is rather immaterial, it's the French commentary that is decisive, as them being the original developer of Rafale.Who in france confirmed it? Not Dassault or any government officials. Just said some french anonymous person. The CNN article is not enough concrete evidence for anything. Remember when CNN also made up a story of a chinese submarine sinking in Wuhan with no proof.
Lol. I'm not even trying and so many are already crying for mods.
Now imagine how much i would wreck Indians if i actually have evidence of their rafale getting shot down/crashed.
Not only that, we also found multiple photographic evidence of various Rafale components like the Engine and tail. So the French commentary is just the cherry on top.
Honestly the way they detract the photos is rather clumsy. Especially just claiming it's just an old photo.
Please, we even get an update whenever Mig-21 or Mirage-2k are destroyed during drills from time to time, but we never heard about a Rafale going down before?
