In May 2025, escalating tensions between India and Pakistan led to significant military confrontations. India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Punjab, utilizing Rafale jets equipped with SCALP missiles and AASM Hammer bombs. Pakistan responded with drone and missile strikes, claiming to have downed five Indian jets, including a Rafale. Both nations engaged in intense air combat, marking one of the largest aerial confrontations in recent history. The conflict has raised global concerns, with the risk of nuclear escalation looming over the region.😎
