US Edition'When Truth Comes Out...': Dassault CEO Labels Pakistan's Claim Of Downing Rafales As 'Inaccurate'
- Dassault Aviation CEO Eric Trappier denied Pakistan's claim that three Indian Rafale jets were downed during Operation Sindoor in early May 2025.
- This claim followed India's retaliatory airstrikes launched after a terror attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, which escalated tensions between India and Pakistan.
- Trappier refrained from confirming any losses, noting India had not communicated details and emphasizing that mission success outweighs focusing on aircraft losses alone.
- He asserted the Rafale remains a world-class fighter superior to the F-35 and Chinese aircraft, describing it as "the best in compromise."
- Trappier’s rebuttal suggests Pakistan’s claims lack accuracy and that assessment of the conflict should focus on objectives achieved rather than losses.
