    you know what’s hillarious? Chinese weapons were unproven because they were never used in real world combat. It’s because China has not fought or invaded a country. NATO weapons are “proven” in real world combat, because they are always invading weaker countries. Now you have the overhyped and overpriced French Rafale fighter jet, top of the line in European technology. It’s big selling point is that it was proven in real world combat. You know what that real world combat is? Bombing Libya, a country with a weak airforce and little if any air defence!

    In it’s very first Air to Air combat against a modern jet, it was defeated 3-0 by China’s J-10C fighter jet. Europe’s top of the line 4.5 gen fighter jet, was defeated by China’s mid teir fighter jet (China has better jets including 5th and already testing their 6th gen). This is a Sputnik/Deepseek moment for Chinese military hardware.

    The Rafale and Eurofighter typhoon are considered NATO’s top 4.5 gen jets, only behind 5th gen F-35 and F-22. India pulled out of Russia’s Su-57 and went with the "proven’ Rafale fighter, spending a whopping $200+ million USD on each Rafale, absolutely got ripped off by France! Big corruption into the Rafale purchase no doubt. $200+ million French jets got taken out by $40 million Chinese jet lol.

    Just before the flareup with Pakistan, India agreed to purchase 20 more Rafale jets for their Navy. Wonder if it’ll be canceled lol

    There’s photo proof that at least 1 Rafale was shot down. There’s a photo of Rafale tail wreckage BS-001, which means it was the first Rafale delivered to India. Last night there was already a video of a wrecked missile launcher and wrecked French MICA missile on the ground in front of a burning jet fighter. It was either shot down by HQ-9 (Chinese S-300) SAM, or JF-17 or J-10CE jets with PL-15 (Chinese long range air to air missile). Chinese missiles took out France’s top fighter jet.

    Funny thing is that the 2019 flare up between India and Pakistan, there was also fighter jet engagement. Pakistan said they shot down an Su-30MKI and an old Mig (bison?), and India claimed they shot down an F-16. The only proof was the Mig pilot was captured alive and later returned back to India. 2019 showed IAF that they needed “better” fighter jets, they think Western Jets were the best, so they quickly went for the hyped up Rafales. Just like in Ukraine, NATO wunderwaffe has proven to be overhyped, and way overpriced, when matched against an equal opponent.
