“PAF has pulled off quite a brilliant move with this combat achievement.

In the past, while diehard American equipment fanatics and French gear extremists couldn't stand each other, their core objective of disparaging Chinese tech remained aligned, preventing major conflicts between them.

But now things get complicated. The Rafale jet - the crown jewel of French equipment that Francophiles have been hyping for years - has been shot down. If French gear fanatics want to maintain their anti-China stance, they must deny the Rafale was downed by J-10/JF-17 fighters with PL-15 missiles. Instead, they'd have to attribute the kill to PAF's F-16s with AIM-120s. But this admission would essentially acknowledge French tech as inferior to older American systems - practically requiring them to kowtow to American gear enthusiasts. Could French fanatics swallow such humiliation?

If Francophiles want to save face, they'll inevitably claim the Rafale was ambushed by Chinese jets with PL-15s, even arguing that PL-15s outperform AIM-120s in PAF's arsenal. This directly triggers American gear extremists' red line, as many have been shouting that F-16s/AIM-120s took down the Rafale. Openly contradicting this would inevitably spark conflict between the two factions.

Similarly, American gear fanatics seeking to capitalize on this incident must credit the kill to AIM-120s while disparaging French equipment, inevitably clashing with French supporters.

Thus, PAF's brilliance lies precisely in leaving PL-15E wreckage in Indian territory. With no AIM-120 debris found yet, some creatures might need to brainstorm new narratives”

If Rafale was actually shot down by Pakistani F-16 with early model AMRAAMs, then Dassault should just disband itself because that would be too embarrassing.

The Pl15 A2A missile is definitely the winner. The J10c has a good detection range too. There are claims that India's plane haven't fire any missiles. Pak has a detection advantage and shoot first.

My only concern is the ground defense such as HQ9. India has shot several brahmos and hit their targets..
