New Delhi: French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation Chief Executive Officer Eric Trappier last month dismissed claims of shooting three Indian Rafale fighter jets as “wrong” Pakistan claims during Operation Sindor.
Saying that Rafael was better than the American F -35 and was “much better” than all Chinese aircraft in the market, the CEO of the firm Joe Rafael said that the success of a mission is not about zero loss, but about meeting the objectives.
In an interview for the challenges of the French magazine ahead of the Paris Air Show, he said, “Indians have not communicated.

He said, “In addition, when you operate a fighter aircraft, you are completing a mission. The success of the mission is not about zero loss; it is about achieving your objectives.”
Trappier reported that during World War II, it was not said that the Allies lost the war because they had lost the soldiers.
“We will see whether there were disadvantages or not, and if the purpose of the war was achieved. When the truth comes out, something can be surprised,” he said.
Asked about Rafael’s performance compared to other fighter jets, the CEO of Dassault said that Rafael is actually the best aircraft in the world, “better than F -35 and much better than all Chinese aircraft in the market”.
“This fully fulfills the needs of the French armed forces and the countries buying it,” he said.
Pakistan has claimed to reduce a total of six Indian fighter jets, including three Rafale during Operation Sindoor.
Defense Staff Chief General Anil Chauhan also Refused Pakistani The claims of six aircraft were shot as “absolutely wrong”. However, he admitted to the loss, but underlined that the mission’s objectives were focused and acquired.
India had killed deep terrorist camps inside Pakistan on 7 May and after that there were accurate attacks on many Pakistan airbase and military establishments after trying to kill Indian cities.
