France -made Rafale Fighter Jet.
Paris: After India’s Operation Sindoor, China has played another very dirty game, about which your senses will fly away. The French intelligence report has revealed that during the Indo-Pak war, China used a big lie to weaken the sales of Rafale fighter jets using its embassies in many countries. During this time, China spread the lies of the loss of India’s Rafale aircraft in the war with Pakistan, who have been dealing with France’s Rafale fighter jets or in will. The purpose behind spreading such a lie was to encourage its fighter aircraft to buy other countries.
France released intelligence report
French military and intelligence officials concluded that China used its embassies worldwide to spread doubts over their performance after seeing the role of Rafale aircraft in a confrontation between India and Pakistan and demolish the doubt of French’s leading fighter aircraft and weakening the sale. According to the French intelligence reported by the Associated Press (AP), officials associated with defense cases in China’s foreign embassies attempted to damage the sales of Rafale.
Rafade ordered countries discouraged
According to French intelligence report, China specially worked to discourage countries who had ordered Rafael. It also includes Indonesia, which has already ordered Rafael. Along with this, Beijing also tried to attract other potential customers towards China’s weapons.
China also made a false claim to Pakistan
China also made a false claim to Pakistan to increase the sales of its fighter aircraft and reduce the sales of Rafale fighter jets. Pakistan then claimed that it had dropped five Indian aircraft in the fight, including three Rafael. French officials have said that these false claims raised questions about its performance in Rafale purchased countries.
Pakistan and China used fake AI images
French officials believe that Pakistan and China jointly launched an organized “disinformation” campaign on social media. It used fake pictures of Rafael’s alleged debris, AI-produced video and video game scenes. French researchers reported that more than 1,000 new social media accounts were created during the conflict, which tried to make Chinese technology look superior. The French intelligence report said that the defense officials of the Chinese embassies propagated in meetings with defense officials of other countries that Rafael is weak in performance and Chinese aircraft should be preferred.
Beijing rejected the report
After the report came to light, the Defense Ministry of Beijing termed the allegation as “baseless rumors and slander” and said that China always adopts a responsible and cautious attitude in military exports. The French Defense Ministry said that Rafael was “deliberately targeted” as it is not only a high -performance aircraft, but it is also a symbol of France’s strategic autonomy, industrial credibility and international partnership.
Which countries have given Rafael to France
Till now France’s Dassault Aviation Company has sold 533 Rafale fighter jets. Of these, 323 have been exported to Egypt, India, Qatar, Greece, Croatia, UAE, Serbia and Indonesia. At the same time, Indonesia has ordered 42 aircraft and is considering buying too. According to experts, this effort may be part of China’s strategy, which wants to weaken France’s strong defense relations with Asian countries. (AP)
