What a Utter embarrasment to IAF on the 1st night of supposed attacks.
Lost 5 aircraft, including 3 advanced Rafales.
I don't think this was attack but IAF tried level best but FAILED horrifically in surprise.
BALAKOT v2.0
Lets see what the IAF does tonight.

The data is gravitating towards the 5 being a legitimate number, but for some reason Pakistan still not gone as aggressive with the 2 on its territory to win the PR and morale battle. If there was an ejection, where is the pilot? if he survived, get his name.
So I certainly want to believe in that.
Question to you: why do you think India is goign the night strike approach. The enemy sensors (ours) operate as well at night as they do during the day. Why do you think waiting till ngiht? I know you don't speak for IAF
but you may have an opinion.

Are there any confirmed authentic irrefutable evidences of IAF jets destroyed?
Especially the destruction of a Rafale fighter by Pakistani military. Both sides are claiming diametrically opposite point of views. India struck ground targets and we know and no one denies it.
PAF struck India and IAF jets were shot down but India denies it. So the burden of proof is upon PAF/OSINT experts to prove India wrong and shameless.

The footage of wreckage, which should be brand new and authentic. The wreckage should of the fighter airframes preferably with identification marks and matching serial numbers on it. Latest Aerial/satellite footage of the crash site which can be geo located and confirmed by other people too. So that India could be officially declared a blatant liar publicly on the global level. And if it's proven to be true India would become a certified shameless state.

I don't know what's the weird Indian logic behind attacking Pakistan at the middle of the night time. You wanna conduct ground invasion involving armies on both sides then okay it makes sense as both militaries have far less night vision capabilities down to the individual soldier level.
But when it comes to missile strikes and medium/long range air defenses, they simply don't rely on sunlight to be effective. They work perfectly fine if not better during the night time. Or someone in the Indian military have given them the intelligence report that Pakistani defenders tend to be fast asleep after 12 in night. That's completely absurd.
If those attacks would have happened in the daytime then the people on both sides would have a far better idea of what happened and could easily cut through the propaganda warfare of the modi media.
I personally don't rely on the Pakistani media as well apart from the Dawn a bit. The TV channels on both sides of the border are mostly controlled by their respective Govts.

With so many different sources claiming the same thing makes it somewhat confirmed that IAF jets were destroyed with indian Govt still trying their best to maintain a complete state of denial.
Then it means only one thing. Complete Pakistani victory till this time. Modi did the same during Galwan valley crisis in Ladakh with China. He simply denied the fact that PLA forces have encroached into the Indian territory. Modi's complete silence means that he has accepted the defeat of his military machine and trying to win the narrative in front of his public with 100% complete shameless armored state of denial.
Well I feel much better and safe now that modi is scared of the Pakistan's military capabilities that he has closed his eyes like a pigeon. Pakistan zindabad

French intelligence official confirms downing of Rafale by Pakistan: CNN
The confirmation comes after Pakistan shot down five Indian fighter jets in retaliation for India's missile attack.
News Desk

A senior French intelligence official has confirmed to CNN that one Indian Air Force Rafale fighter jet was shot down by Pakistan, marking what could be the first known combat loss of the French-made aircraft.
The confirmation comes after Pakistan shot down five Indian fighter jets in retaliation for India's missile attack early Wednesday morning. Accoding to DG ISPR Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, India carried out 24 airstrikes on six different locations inside Pakistani territory.
He further said that, In response, Pakistan army downed five Indian fighter jets and one combat drone in response to unprovoked aggression and airspace violations.
According to the military spokesperson, the aircraft shot down included three Rafale jets, one MiG-29, one SU-series aircraft, and an Israeli-made Heron combat drone. The jets were downed in multiple locations, including Bhatinda, Jammu, Akhnoor, Srinagar, and Avantipur.
According to CNN, French authorities are now investigating whether additional Rafale aircraft were also brought down during the overnight military exchange. “We are aware of the loss of one Rafale and are examining reports suggesting more could have been downed,” the French official told CNN.
Images circulating from the crash site in Indian Illegal Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJ&K) appear to show debris with French manufacturing labels. However, aviation experts cautioned that it is too early to confirm if the wreckage belonged to a Rafale jet.
“There are identifiable parts from a French supplier,” one analyst told CNN, “but it's inconclusive whether they are from a Rafale.”
After reports emerged that Rafale jets were shot down by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) early in the morning, shares of France’s Dassault Aviation — the maker of the Rafale fighter jet — dropped at the Paris Stock Exchange. The company’s stock had declined by EUR 5.40, or 1.64%, to EUR 324.
Overall, defence analysts noted Dassault's stock could fall by a further 5% amid scrutiny over the Rafale’s battlefield performance.
The sharp contrast in investor sentiment could be a sign of global market confidence in the capabilities of PAF and performance of the JF-17 and J-10C jets, developed in cooperation with China.
