As impressive as the Rafale’s maneuverability is, maneuverability doesn’t count for much in the BVR (beyond-visual-range) dogfighting conditions that comprised the dogfight between India and Pakistan.

India also has a long-standing policy of refusing to allow foreign mediation when it comes to the status of Muslim-majority Kashmir - a disputed region claimed by both India and Pakistan in its entirety - which has been at the center of the latest conflict with Pakistan and which India regards as a strictly internal matter.

According to Hazrat Nagar Garhi Station House Officer Anuj Kumar Tomar, Jamaat Ali, a resident of Mukrabpur village, was sent to jail on Sunday after it was found that he had shared a video claiming that India's Rafale fighter jet was shot down by Pakistan and its pilot taken captive.
