Chinese media outlet Phoenix TV asked the French Armed Forces about the rumor regarding the Rafale jet during the India-Pakistan conflict. I have transcribed the French military spokesperson's comments: "Obviously, we're going to draw as much feedback as possible from this high-intensity combat use, which, according to some reports, obviously involved several hundred aircraft. So we're obviously following these events as closely as we can. But today, the main thing we can see is that the Rafale has been in service for 20 years, 20 years of combat use, and if it were true that there was a loss, it would be the first combat loss of this warplane" This is the first time the French military has officially commented on the rumors about the Rafale jet.
