French delegation visits India, Indian senior official's "heartfelt words" break French netizens' defenses: just stop talking.

Recently, a French delegation suddenly visited India, attracting attention from media outlets around the world. The Indian Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Ravi, received the delegation warmly, shaking hands with its members. However, after the talks, Ravi's heartfelt words left French netizens in disbelief. Ravi stated:

1. We are very grateful for France's strong support for India, especially during the implementation of Operation Vermilion. We have had very positive discussions with France in military, political, and economic aspects.

2. The Rafale fighter jet is a symbol of close cooperation between India and France. India will soon send a delegation to visit France.

At first glance, it seems polite on India's part, but French netizens couldn't sit still. They believed: "Why does India keep mentioning the Rafale? Our Rafale jets have been severely affected by you!" During this meeting, Ravi did not mention the losses incurred by the Rafale jets in combat, and naturally, the French delegation did not either. In short, both sides tacitly avoid exposing each other's scars.

However, just because they don't expose their own scars doesn't mean other countries haven't noticed them. Recently, Indonesian media reported that the country was reviewing a military sale involving Rafale jets worth over $8 billion. Clearly, the combat effectiveness of the Rafale has been questioned by various countries due to India. Regarding this matter, the French delegation has yet to issue an official statement. On the Pakistani side, however, some high-ranking military officials spoke up fairly for France. A Pakistani general commented: "The Rafale is actually a good aircraft; the problem lies with India's air force pilots..."

In fact, France taking the risk of selling fighter jets to India should be expected. Next, we will see which Western countries dare to easily engage in arms sales with India.
