Dassault Aviation CEO denied Pakistani claims of downed Rafales, admitting one loss in India. He labelled the claims as inaccurate amid intel reports that China tried to undermine Rafale's global image.
In a bid to counter allegations made by the Pakistani military, Dassault Aviation CEO Eric Trappier has categorically denied reports that multiple Indian Rafale fighter jets were downed during recent aerial engagements. In June, Trappier clarified that while India did lose one Rafale aircraft, the incident was not a result of enemy fire.
The remarks came in response to claims by Pakistan’s military that three Indian Rafales were destroyed during ‘Operation Sindoor’. These assertions, made public via an official communiqué from Rawalpindi earlier in June, were widely circulated in local media and amplified across social media platforms. Both the Indian government and Dassault Aviation have since strongly contested the narrative.
