A top French intelligence official has confirmed that Pakistan has shot down an Indian Air Force Rafale fighter jet, marking the first time a Rafale jet has been shot down in combat.
According to US media, the senior French official told CNN that French authorities are investigating whether Pakistan shot down more than one Rafale jet. The investigation is important because the Indian Air Force’s Rafale is the most advanced and expensive combat aircraft.

However, there has been no official response from the Indian government to this claim, which raises further questions about the incident. On the other hand, the French company that makes the Rafale aircraft did not respond to CNN’s request for comment. The company’s silence has made the matter more serious, as the consequences of the destruction of such aircraft are considered a serious matter globally.
