France’s Rafale fighter Jet was overshadowed by the Rafale Fighter Jet American F-35 Stealth Fighter in Trident Atlantic-25 military exercise held in Finland. During this time, Rafael locked F-35 with his IRST (Infrared Search and Track) system and scored a ‘kilt score’ in Basic Fighting Manuvar (BFM). Although it was not a real war but part of training, it means that Rafael defeated F-35 within the visual range.

This incident proved that the 4.5th generation Rafael is still capable of challenging the 5th generation F-35. This becomes especially important when F-35 is considered to be the strongest symbol of modern stealth technology.

Impact on global weapon market
Both Rafael and F-35 are part of the world’s major arms export programs. The US is constantly selling its F-35 to NATO colleagues and Asia-Pacific countries, while France presents its Rafael as a strong option. After this practice, Rafael’s credibility can increase even more. In the export market, those countries which do not want to depend on stealth technology, they can now give priority to Rafael. This incident is especially a positive sign for India, as the Indian Air Force is already using Rafale.

France and America rivalry
Although both the US and France are NATO partners, they are rival to each other in the export market of fighter aircraft. France is promoting this incident and creating an atmosphere in favor of its Rafael. Significantly, this is not the first time Rafael defeated American jet ‘. In the 2009 practice in UAE, a French Rafael scored a killer on the American F-22 raptor.

What does this development matter for India
India has bought 36 Rafale Jets from France. In such a situation, this incident will further strengthen the confidence of the Indian Air Force. India considers Rafael its strategic edge in front of the aerial strength of neighboring countries China and Pakistan. Also, this incident may inspire India to consider more advanced variants of Rafael in future.

The Indian Air Force is now going to further strengthen its air security from Israeli’s advanced decoy system to save Rafale fighter jets from enemy missiles. According to sources, India has intensified efforts for the earliest supply of Israeli X-Guard Fiber-Optic Towed Decoy System.

What is this decoy system?

This system named X-Guard Towed Decoy has been created by the Israeli company. When an enemy attacks the missile aircraft, the dicky shows itself like a real aircraft, making the missile aiming the dicky instead of the real aircraft.

This system is connected to a cable behind the aircraft and is activated during the flight. When the mission is complete, it is pulled back into the aircraft.

Test has been done twice

India also tested this system in its Rafale Jet in 2019 and 2023. But the delivery is delayed due to tension in West Asia and interruption in supply chains. Now India wants it to be achieved as soon as possible.

Preparations to increase security after Operation Sindoor

In response to the Pahalgam terror attack on 22 April, India ran Operation Vermation on 7 May. After this, India has started further strengthening its Air Force. Many more advanced features are being added to Rafale aircraft, such as displays on helmets, enemies identified with sensors and ability to fly from high hilly areas.

Why is this decoy important?

The decoy system is a reliable way to avoid enemy missiles. With this, Rafale aircraft can also fly safely on dangerous missions. India now wants to further strengthen its Air Force with such a modern system.

Pakistani leader, Pak army all guilts, truth behind the terrorist attack came out

The growing tension on India and Pakistan is currently controlled. The ceasefire was announced before the ongoing struggle between the two countries reached the war. In this struggle, the S-400 Air Defense System has done a defense shield from India and has given a beauty of every attack coming from Pakistan. This air defense system eliminated most of the missiles and drones coming from Pakistan. That is why it is also called Sudarshan Chakra. Now the question is that if the fighter plane flying in the range of S-400 during the war is its own, will the missile fire on it too? Let’s know

Which technology is used

Many types of technology are used to identify the flying fighter plane in the range of S-400. First technology is radar system. Any country identifies any missile and fighter jet in the country through radar system. Apart from this, through the direction, height and speed of the aircraft, it can also be identified whether it is its own or enemy country.

How IFF system works

Apart from this, aircraft are also identified through data sharing. Data is shared by the aircraft through various air defense systems during a situation like war. This data is analyzed and through this the aircraft is its own or it helps in identifying the enemy country. According to the information received from Google AI, there is an IFF which sends friendly aircraft an identification code, but if that enemy is a jet of the country then no answer is received.

How the missile is identified

Apart from this, this system uses advanced algorithms and radar signature to differentiate between friends and enemy aircraft. After this, the type of aircraft is identified through radar cross connection and other characteristics. Talking about the missile, if it is found after seeing the speed, height and direction of the missile, it is found that it is coming towards our country, then it is obvious that the enemy is the missile of the country.

It is written in the newspaper cutting that the Indian Air Force demolished other locations along with Noor Khan and Chaklala airbase. Nuclear weapons are handled at many of these locations. Responding to Shelling, the Indian Army gave a befitting reply to Pakistan. At the same time, India agreed to ceasefire because our real purpose and target operation was fulfilled with vermilion.

Even before this, Kangana was angry at Pakistan
Kangana Ranaut had written in a social media post before the ceasefire of India-Pakistan, “This disgusting country filled with terrorists should be erased from the map itself.” Let me tell you, every Indian is anger due to this cowardly attitude of Pakistan.

Pakistan Experts Qamar Chema on India: India has approved a ‘mega deal’ for the sale of 26 Rafale Marine fighter aircraft from France. In media reports, government sources were quoted as saying that the deal of more than Rs 63,000 crore is expected to be signed soon. The Indian Navy will get 22 single-seater jets as well as four twin-seater variants. India will get a large package, which will include the maintenance of the fleet, logistical support, training of personnel and offset responsibilities for indigenous manufacturing components. On this issue, Pakistani experts Qamar Cheema spoke on her YouTube channel The Qamar Cheema show. He said that this is really a very big deal, which clearly shows that India is trying to increase its strength. They especially want to increase their strength against China, with the help of which they can compete with dragons in the Indian Ocean.

Qamar Cheema said that India is making a deal of $ 7 billion from France for Rafael. From this you can guess how much money India has. On the other hand our Pakistan is begging 1-1 billion dollars. They go in front of every other country and plead for money. In contrast, India makes a big deal of $ 7 billion. He says that we are expanding our strength. For this, they are modernizing their Navy, Army.

India is surrounded by its enemies on three fronts
Pakistani experts Qamar Cheema said that in today’s time India is surrounded by its enemies on three fronts. The first is China, the second Pakistan and now the third is Bangladesh. For this, India is constantly engaged in strengthening its military and navy power. This is the reason why he does not want to keep himself weak in any field and is dealing with billions of rupees. India better knows that China can present a challenge for it in the Indian Ocean. For this reason, India has done the Rafale deal, so that its strength increases.

When will India get Rafale Marine Jet Plane?
The Cabinet Committee on Security Affairs (CCS) headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved the deal. Rafale Marine Jet aircraft will be deployed on indigenous aircraft carriers in India. This will significantly increase the aerial power of the Navy in the sea. Rafael Marine is more advance than the Rafale fighter jets present in India. Its engine is more powerful. According to the report, the supply of Rafale Marine fighter jets is estimated to start in about four years. The Navy is expected to receive the first batch by the end of 2029. The entire fleet is likely to join by 2031.
