French military and secret officials on Sunday claimed that China used its embassies to question Rafale’s capacity in India and Pakistan struggle in May.
According to French intelligence report, Military Diplomats (Raksha Atashe) in China’s foreign embassies tried to harm Rafael’s sales.
He tried to influence countries who have already bought Rafale, including countries like Indonesia.
China’s Defense Ministry rejected these allegations as rumors. China said that it adopts a responsible attitude in military exports.
AI used to discredit Rafael
In May, dozens of aircraft from the two countries participated in a four-day struggle between India and Pakistan. During this time India used France Made Rafale Jet.
France claims that Pakistan and its ally China used false news on social media to spoil Rafael’s image, manipulated pictures, AI-generated content and video game footage.
French researchers found that more than 1000 new social media accounts were created during the battle, claiming to be superior to Chinese techniques. However, France did not provide proof of connecting this online campaign directly to the Chinese government.
Many social media users of Pakistan claimed to demolish Rafael by sharing months old footage during the struggle.
Pakistan claimed to drop 3 Rafale
During the conflict with India, Pakistan claimed that its Air Force killed five Indian aircraft during the fight, including three Rafale.
French officials say that this raised questions on Rafael’s capacity. Later, India had accepted the loss of the aircraft, but did not say how many aircraft were damaged.
After this, French Air Force General Jerome Bellanger had said that he had seen only 3 Indian aircraft damaged evidence- one Rafael, a Russian-made Sukhoi and a Mirage 2000, which is the French jet of the last generation. According to media, this was the first time Rafael was damaged in the war.
CDS had accepted some of India’s aircraft falling
Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) Anil Chauhan spoke on the claims of Indian fighter jet falling in a conflict with Pakistan during the Shangri-La dialogue program in Singapore on 31 May. He said these things in an interview to Bloomberg.
He had said that the real issue is not how many aircraft fell, but why they fell and what we learned from them. India recognized their mistakes, rectified them quickly and then within two days, targeting the enemy’s hideouts from long distance, once again responded effectively.
CDS Chauhan said that Pakistan’s claim that it dropped 6 Indian jets, it is absolutely wrong. The count does not matter, but it matters what we learned and how it improved. The use of nuclear weapons has never come in this struggle, which is a matter of relief. Read full news …
