๐๐ฅRafale Under Fire: France Alleges China & Pakistan Disinformation After India's "Operation Sindoor"! ๐จโ๏ธ
A heated diplomatic clash is unfolding as France accuses China and Pakistan of waging a "vast disinformation campaign" against its advanced Rafale fighter jets. This intensified after India's "Operation Sindoor" in May, which saw IAF Rafales in combat against Pakistani forces. ๐
Smear Campaign Unmasked ๐คฅ
French intelligence points to China, allegedly using its embassies to spread doubts about the Rafale's performance, aiming to push Chinese alternatives. This includes viral social media posts, fake imagery, and AI-generated content. ๐ฑ๐ค
"Operation Sindoor" Sparks Backlash ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ณ
The disinformation surge followed India's "Operation Sindoor," a retaliatory strike against terror infrastructure. During this, IAF Rafales reportedly showcased their capabilities, even jamming Chinese-supplied Pakistani air defenses. Pakistan's claims of downing Indian Rafales have been consistently refuted.

France is actively pushing back, asserting the Rafale's proven record. China denies the claims, calling them "groundless." This incident highlights the growing role of information warfare in global defense markets, with high stakes for national credibility and strategic influence. How will this shape future military sales and international relations? ๐ค
