As the wreckage of the M88 engine has been discovered so far, the losses of the Rafale fighter jets can now be basically determined
This time fighting, dassault company was close to tears, the rafale and mirage 2000 were shot down
Has anyone noticed that Pakistanis are not promoting the narrative of attacks on innocent civilians with Gaza-like pictures like last night? Maybe they have realized that if that is the path they choose, then de-escalation could become very difficult.
We had accepted our losses post-Balakot. So either we have not lost any and we shot down intruding Pakistani aircraft or we lost a mirage or rafale.
So it seems we lost a rafale.
The first clear picture of the rear wing should have been shot down by PAF using the PL15. If it were the HQ9/HQ16, there should be countless holes on the rear wing instead of such clear cut marks
Had heard about Pilot ejection. Seems like the pilot is safe and the ejection happened while returning from the mission.
The crash point is this. Seems like a human or technical error rather than a missile shootdown.
Still no proof until actual confirmation. Thats definitely not a missile shootdown not technically possible.

This is an aircraft hit by an anti-aircraft missile. The anti-aircraft missile uses a fragmentation warhead to expand the killing area, which is completely different from the photo of the Rafale fighter jet. The PL15 uses a discrete continuous rod warhead to ensure killing accuracy
On the night of May 7, the Indian army announced Operation Sindoor, aimed "against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan." The Indian army struck nine targets in Pakistan, Pakistani Kashmir, and Jammu state as part of Operation Sindoor. It is worth noting that it is difficult to publish up-to-date information on these battles, as both sides are using old photos and videos, which is difficult to say for sure. According to India, the strikes were not directed against Pakistani military facilities. Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif called India's actions an "act of war." The conflict between India and Pakistan, which has been going on for several decades, escalated again after the tragic incident on April 22 in the city of Pahalgam, where 26 people, most of them tourists, were killed in an attack by terrorists from the Lashkar-e-Taiba group. India blamed Pakistan for this, accusing it of involvement in the attack. In response, Pakistan denied the allegations and called for an independent investigation. Both sides have now begun fighting.
Then can we make an assumption? Was the Rafale fighter jet shot down by the ambush J10C right after takeoff? Considering that it is only 20 kilometers away from the airport, and if it had crashed due to an accident, the Rafale fighter would have had a relatively intact fuselage instead of being shattered as it is now.
Possible. The j-10C's would get a lock on around 70-90 km. But they will have to be on the borders which seems highly unlikely. The crash direction seems like the plane either crashed while returning to the air force base returning from the north not the west. The j-10's would require to enter Indian AD network if they attacked from the west. Seems unlikely. Unless the j-10 launched it at a 100km range. Which doesn't make sense because we would have pl-15 wreckage. And the Rafale would likely do evasive maneuvers.h
