According to Rajathe tail of the aircraft fell near the Bassiana Air Force Station in Punjab
NEW DELHI (Dunya News) – Lok Sabha member Amrinder Singh Raja has confirmed that a Rafale fighter jet was downed during the Pakistan-India conflict, contradicting India’s official stance.
According to Raja, the tail of the aircraft fell near the Bassiana Air Force Station in Punjab, and it bore the marking BS-001, confirming it was from a Rafale jet. The incident resulted in one death and nine injuries.
He added that the Indian Air Marshal also acknowledged the crash but labeled the aircraft as “unidentified.” Raja accused the Air Marshal of hiding the truth from the Indian public, calling it a deliberate attempt to downplay the loss.
It is pertinent to mention that during the conflict, Pakistan had successfully shot down Indian fighter jets, including the French-made Rafale aircraft. Despite international and French
confirmation, India has continued to deny the downing of its jets.
