Following Operation Sindoor, China and Pakistan spread false propaganda regarding Rafale jets. A French intelligence report has exposed China's global conspiracy.
China Rafale Jet News: The truth behind the rumors spread by China and Pakistan regarding Rafale jet aircraft after Operation Sindoor has now come to light. A confidential report from French intelligence agencies confirms that China intentionally launched an international propaganda campaign to damage the reputation of the Rafale aircraft. Its objective was to influence those countries that were planning to purchase Rafales from France.
China's Moves After Operation Sindoor
In Operation Sindoor, conducted in May, India used French-made Rafale jet aircraft. After this military action, Pakistan claimed that it had shot down three Indian Rafale aircraft. Following this, China began to propagate this false claim globally.
The French report indicates that China, through its embassies, spread the rumor that Rafale aircraft were ineffective and questioned their reliability. China, in turn, attempted to promote its own manufactured jet aircraft. This propaganda targeted those countries that were moving towards purchasing French Rafales.
Propaganda Through Defense Attachés
According to the report, defense attachés stationed at Chinese embassies in several countries argued in private and formal meetings that the Rafale aircraft being used in India were not sufficiently effective. Instead, they promoted the capabilities of Chinese weaponry. This strategy was entirely designed to tarnish the image of the Rafale and promote China's defense products.
Pakistan Also Spread Lies
Along with China, Pakistan also attempted to undermine India's military strength. Pakistan claimed that it had shot down three Rafale aircraft during Operation Sindoor. However, this claim turned out to be completely false. Eric Trappier, the CEO of the French company Dassault Aviation, himself refuted this, saying that all of Pakistan's claims regarding the Rafale were baseless and untrue.
India's Clarification
India's Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan also bly refuted these claims. In an interview during the Shangri-La Dialogue, he clearly stated that Pakistan's claim was completely false and there was no truth in it. He said that the Rafale aircraft had performed precise and effective actions in Operation Sindoor.
Conspiracy to Damage the International Reputation of Rafale
According to France, China and Pakistan jointly made an organized effort to weaken the reputation of Rafale aircraft. Their objective was not only to denigrate India but also to damage the image of French defense equipment globally. It was also revealed that China, under its propaganda campaign, fabricated false stories of the Rafale's failure and spread them among international media and those involved in the defense sector.
The Real Motive of China's Strategy
Analysts believe that China, through this entire strategy, was trying to sell its manufactured jet aircraft to other countries. It wanted the reputation of Rafale to fall, so that the Chinese alternative would be considered ber. This strategy was entirely designed with the aim of gaining commercial and strategic advantages.
France's Response
When French intelligence agencies gathered information about this entire campaign, they informed the relevant countries about it. France presented the real capabilities of the Rafale with data and operational data. After this, the trust of those countries that were in the process of purchasing Rafales was re-established.
