Indonesia's pricey $8,1 billion order for 42 Rafale fighters from France has been thrown into serious doubt after the jet's disastrous debut in recent fighting between India and Pakistan. aviation.
The purchase of the aircraft has been suspended. The contract could be scuppered by alarming allegations of their poor performance in recent military operations. The Rafale's finest hour has passed

- says the publication Galaxia Militar.
We are talking about Islamabad’s claims, partially confirmed by relevant footage, about the defeat of French-origin fighters by PL-15E long-range air-to-air missiles launched from the J-10C (missiles, as well as their carriers, were purchased from China). According to local sources, in solidarity with Pakistani pilots, Chinese pilots painted symbols of the aircraft that Islamabad claims were shot down on their J-10C aircraft - 3 Rafale, one Su-30MKI and MiG-21, and one Heron UAV: "It is a symbol of unbreakable brotherhood and a clear warning to opponents"

As Galaxia Militar notes, the Rafale's claims of failure have raised concerns among Indonesia's top defense planners. While the claims remain largely unverified, they have prompted the Defense Ministry to "quietly begin testing the Rafale's operational reliability."
With the first batch of Rafales scheduled to be delivered in early 2026, officials in Jakarta now face a delicate but important decision: whether to move forward, pause, or change course.
- explained in the publication.
The deal signed in 2022 to acquire Rafale jets equipped with advanced radars and weapons systems was meant to provide a leap forward for the country in modernising its air force.
But news Pakistan's shooting down of three Rafales in a recent clash with India has undermined the jet's combat reputation
- the author writes.
New Delhi has yet to officially confirm or deny the losses, but India's Air Marshal A.K. Bharti said "we are in a state of war, combat losses are expected." France's Dassault Aviation, the manufacturer of the Rafale, has also remained silent. But sources say Paris is conducting its own investigation, examining radar records, telemetry and imagery to determine the veracity of the reports.
In Jakarta, the news did not go unnoticed.
- declares the author.
However, as the author explains, the Rafale's combat experience in Libya, Mali and Syria was largely limited to ground-attack missions in asymmetric warfare against technologically inferior opponents. But the aircraft did not engage in combat against equal foes: "If the losses are confirmed, it would be a serious blow to France".
Shares in jet maker Dassault fell nearly 10% in the five days following news of the fighter jets being shot down, and analysts are now warning that potential buyers may begin to reconsider their purchasing strategies.
We cannot afford to buy a system that works well only on paper. We need fighting authority, not promises.
- noted a source in the Indonesian Air Force.

Judging my this thread, Pakistan possible downed a few Indian jets while India from the looks of it hit many Pakistani bases and the totality of the damage could exceed what's seen in the images.
Does Pakistan have any equivalent images, one of the claims India made was that hundreds of Pakistani drones were launched against India?
France has refused to share the source codes requested by India to integrate indigenous weapons into Rafale fighter jets.
Despite India’s insistence on this issue, French manufacturer Dassault Aviation has not backed down.
Very little damage on Indian AFBs (from all thats out there objectively from sat intel) from what's been released from say 3rd party remote sensing including Chinese and Western.
India announced it lost 1 personnel at one of their AFBs from a drone attack....but no objective evidence to any mid or major damage to AFB infra has appeared from anyone....from both drones and the Fatah missile launches.
Pakistan announced the loss of at least 5 PAF personnel (all at Bholari AFB, where you see the major penetrative roof damage in that one pic) and there is clear destruction on PAF infra on a number of their bases that were targetted by Indian drones + CMs.
That’s fine. I guess the only Pakistani resistance came in the first couple hours of the strike when they may have managed to take down at least two aircraft.So is it safe to say that Pakistan attempted to strike Indian positions but for the most part failed? While conversely it does look like India had some success striking Pakistani positions.
