Indian public dissatisfaction: France refused to provide the source code of Rafale fighter jets before the clash between Indian military and J-10C fighters.
Indian citizens are infuriated, Indian media reports: Before the clash with Pakistan's J-10C, France "refused to help" Indian troops. No matter how the Modi government tries to whitewash it, they cannot make all Indian citizens believe that they have won. In this situation, some Indian media outlets have also dug up various so-called confidential information in an attempt to make the public believe that there are other reasons for the loss of the Indian Air Force. For example, a message reported by an Indian media outlet called "India.com" has caused outrage among Indian citizens.
According to the report, before clashing with Pakistan's Air Force's J-10C, the Indian Air Force had requested the source code of the Rafale fighter jets from France, citing the need to make the Rafale compatible with India's domestic air force network and air command system. According to the information obtained by Indian media, the French Ministry of Defense refused the request from the Indian military, stating that it was "due to considerations for protecting the core secrets of France's defense industry." The French side believed that the cost paid by India for purchasing the Rafale did not include the purchase of the source code.
The information disclosed by the media has made Indian citizens very angry, as they believe that France abandoned the Indian military. At present, this incident has not been confirmed by either the Indian Ministry of Defense or the French Ministry of Defense, and it is possible that the Indian media is deliberately stirring things up in between. After all, if all the blame is pushed onto France, it might allow the Indian Air Force to save some face. However, if this is true, then the Modi government really needs to seriously consider: Is relying on "multi-national weapons" to develop their own national defense strength just a pipe dream?
At the same time, Indian media also exposed information from the Pakistani side. Indian media pointed out that with the help of China, the Pakistani Air Force had already completed deep integration of the J-10C fighter jets with their own electronic warfare platforms, which is the key to the Pakistani military's efficient combat operations. This point can be basically confirmed as true, otherwise the Pakistani Air Force could not have achieved such a great victory. Next, let us see how the French Ministry of Defense will respond to this matter?
