or maybe Time is near for Rafale to get shot down and crash

Rafale is far more efficient than Mirage 2000. You don't have destroye a single M2000 in more than 30 years, so.... Good luck with your chinese goodies.

True or not? I don't know the source.

Going for more Rafales is a logical choice for IAF. Adding MiG-29s on the cheap is also a logical choice. The benefit of the MiG-29s is they are very sturdy warplanes that can be based in pretty remote locations, and operate from very basic runways. They don't require that long a runway which is of great use in the mountaineous areas that many FOBs of India are located in.

Neither has India brought down any of our F7s, going by your logic they must be invincible too.

J-7 must be stronger than Rafale. Bon Plan. IAF failed to destroy a single J-7 in more than 30 years and J-7 in operation for much longer in PAF. Anytime the IAF finds balls to use Rafale, your little gust fighter will drop mysteriously. Good luck to jai jais with their new french toy. Pity they already surrendered. We won't even get a chance to **** Rafale like we fucked the Su-30MKI in 2017 and Pakistan also took one in 2019.

Easy to answer : J7 don't have the range to be near the frontline.

Yes good answer. Now let's give this some time and see how Indians prove themselves. To be honest even if Rafale in IAF hands fail, everything fails in their hands.

Chinese Goody JF17 Locked one Mirage 2000 on 26th and Jammed your Mirage 2000 Radars on 27th Feb

J-7s are usually flying near Lahore, right across the border. Who talks about range of MiG-21 derivatives? What do you think Abhinandan was flying? A hot dog?

Let's see.
I'm afraid they say exactly the same thing in the opposite sens.

Not a good answer.
In fact PAF pilots (flying Syrian Mig-21s) managed to bring down Israeli Mirages previously.
Don't expect any mercy for your precious Rafales from PAF. In Indian hands, probably the best you can expect is some medals like SD 10 Dodgers.

Dream on. There's no tax on that.

On the contrary, it's your PAF that will be desperately looking at tactics to avoid Meteors. And so far, the best tactic is to fly back as fast as you can.

There is a rumor going around, but it isn't yet confirmed. Will wait for confirmation from more authoritative sources.

Makes a LOT of sense actually. They can then forget about the MRCA tender that originally wanted 126 fighters and focus on the Tejas Mk2. If the IAF gets 72 or 80 Rafales, that gives them 4 squadrons, plus TACDE and working with the Su-30MKIs, they will be formidable.

Tell me frankly, how many PLAAF J-10s have crashed to date? What about the naval J-15s that you copied from Su-33s and the PLAN crashed 3 of already? What about J-11s? Right, there is no public release unless the airplane crashes right in front of people and videos are leaked.

The less the PLA folks talk about attrition, the better. You cover up the facts, never reveal the truth for fear of losing face. We don't do that, we own up to our losses.
