Bursting fake Rafale propaganda.
Found this great piece of evidence and proof on LinkedIn, an unusual place. Don't see it getting discussed here or X that often. Please reshare.

Undisputed champion of
hashtag#Disinformation ISPR, claimed on Wednesday May 7 2025 that they have downed
hashtag#Rafale fighter jet. Their false claim was backed by a hardly trusted, mediocre news agency,
CNN
Through open-source intelligence, we have enough evidence to ascertain that no such incident took place.
Martin-Baker Aircraft Co Ltd, which manufactures ejection seats for Rafale, diligently maintains a record of fighter jets, equipped with their ejection seats. Every time a pilot ejects, the Martin-Baker website updates its "Ejection Notices" section on
https://martin-baker.com/
As per the last ejection notice (7789), the Finnish Defence Force-owned F/A-18C Hornet crashed on May 7th 2025.
Ejection notice 7788 was issued for US Airforce FA-18/C, which crashed into the Red Sea on May 6th.
It is hence proven that the IAF's Rafale fighter jet was not brought down by a Pakistani air-to-air missile.

As you can check on Martin Baker's website (
https://martin-baker.com/ejection-notices/), there are no incidents of any ejection from a Rafale.
Martin Baker has previously reported ejections from indian aircrafts like Tejas
Today, an Indian Air Force HAL Tejas LCA Aircraft crashed during an operational training sortie near Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The pilot successfully ejected using the Martin-Baker IN16G Seat.

And these ejection notices are believed to be automatically updated.
So if all our pilots have returned safely and there are no ejections, it means no rafale shot down.
