The military success of “Operation Sindoor” not only filled the countrymen proud, but has also made India’s military preparations and abilities ironed in international strategic circles. The decisive role of Rafale fighter jets in this operation strengthened India’s air power globally. However, just after this success, China tried to discredit Rafale aircraft through an organized “Disinformation Campaign” (misinformation campaign).
Let us tell you that “Operation Sindoor” was a strategic military campaign, which saw the exact capacity and decisive action of the Air Force. In this operation, the Rafale aircraft was placed at the center, which carried out a fast, secret and target attack. But after the success of the operation, China started spreading claims through many means that:
-Rafael aircraft are not technically as competent as publicity.
-India exaggerated the success of the operation.
-Rafael’s firepower is weaker than “Chinese J-20”.
This operation is only “propaganda” performed with the support of France.
All these things were promoted through Chinese social media handles, government propaganda system and some pseudo -independent analysts.

Indeed, China has specialized in “hybrid warfare” over the years. He tries to weaken his rivals not only with military power, but also through information, diplomacy, economic pressure and cyber attacks. This wrong information campaign against Rafael was launched to weaken India’s military image, waive India’s defense partnership with France and question India’s credibility on international forums.
But the French government and the intelligence agencies there have also recognized this conspiracy of China and indicated action against it. Let us tell you that in a shocking report, French intelligence agencies have revealed that the Chinese Embassy had a organized conspiracy to damage the global image of ‘Rafale’ fighter jets. This revelation has not only created a stir in the defense sector, but it is also seen as a well-planned Chinese diplomatic attack against India-France defense cooperation.
According to French Intelligence, the Chinese embassies strategically tried to prove the Rafale deal controversial and corruption through foreign think tanks, defense analysts and media organizations. This task also used social media campaigns, leaks reports, and fake news portals, often promoted as opposition circles in India and ‘Rafale Scam’ in international media.
In fact, China is well aware that India is its largest strategic rival, especially in the Indo-Pacific sector. In such a situation, weakening India’s military power has been a part of its long -term strategy. The technical and strategic lead to India through the Rafale deal has become a direct challenge for China. China has always seen the deal of 36 Rafale aircraft between India and France in 2016 with suspicion and insecurity. With the addition of this aircraft to India’s air power, the power balance in the Himalayan region bends in favor of India, which is against the strategic objectives of China.
If seen, this development once again proves that China tries to weaken its opponents not only on the military or economic front, but also through “Information War” and “Diplomatic Subversion” and “Diplomatic Subversion”. It is a warning for India that he was alert and active not only on the border but also in global diplomatic forums and media discourse. However, on behalf of India, military spokespersons, analysts and the Ministry of Defense have responded to these propaganda by bringing out the real capacity of Rafael and the technical aspect of the success of Operation Sindoor.
However, Operation Sindoor has proved India’s air power and decisive potential. At such a time, the propaganda spread by China is a proof that it is nervous of India’s military success.
