LONDON: In a detailed report published by The Telegraph, journalist Memphis Barker highlighted that Pakistan has successfully brought down Indian Rafale jets, using advanced and covert technology acquired from China after the Balakot incident.
According to the report, Rafael pilots were unable to comprehend what hit them, as Pakistan’s censor and stealth-based systems gave them no chance to lock targets or respond. The Pakistan Air Force established undeniable air superiority, dismantling India’s aggressive posture with precision.
The Telegraph described the destruction of the Rafael aircraft as a “game changer” and a moment of embarrassment for India.
Despite India’s continued investment in powerful aircraft following Balakot, its pilots were blindsided by Pakistan’s capabilities.
They were stunned, realizing that if a Rafael can be shot down, no jet is truly safe.
Pakistan’s use of invisible technology has not only shocked defense analysts but has also asserted dominance over India in the skies.

The report concluded that when weapons can’t be seen, pilots can’t defend themselves — and this was not just a technical failure, but a devastating blow to both Indian and global defense doctrines. Pakistan has delivered a strategic shock that India is unlikely to forget.
