The French Navy has issued a strong rebuke to a Pakistan-based media outlet for disseminating false claims regarding India’s Operation Sindoor, particularly following the Pahalgam terror attack. The outlet alleged that a French naval commander confirmed Pakistan’s air superiority and that Indian Rafale jets were downed, assertions the French Navy categorically denied, clarifying that Captain Yvan Launay was misquoted and had not commented on the conflict. The Navy emphasized that Launay’s remarks at a conference were technical and did not address any combat outcomes or make any references to Chinese aircraft, underscoring the importance of accurate reporting in military matters amid heightened regional tensions. This incident reflects ongoing information warfare and the critical need for reliable discourse in defense narratives.
