Note: I apologize for mistakenly writing the wrong Stock Information. I have corrected it as of now.
On 7 May 2025, the news of Dassault Aviation Company’s stock loss broke out after Pakistan claimed to have shot down three Rafale jets in India’s inventory during the cross-border strikes.
However, no party, including the Rafale jet manufacturing company Dassault Aviation and the Indian Air Force (IAF), confirmed the news. Although this news brought minor fluctuation in the stock market, the stocks of Dassault Aviation closed at €324.60 while holding a market cap of €332.20.
Pakistan Air Force Destroys Three Rafales
As reported by senior Pakistani defence officials and high-tier security sources, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) destroyed six Indian warfighter aircraft. This specifically included three Rafale jets, one MiG-29 and one Su-30. This was to counter the Indian-dominated air strikes on the Pakistani-occupied Kashmir region.
The loss of the Rafale jets is attributed to Pakistan’s air defences and the Chinese HQ-9B surface-to-air missile system on the Pakistani side of the Line of Control (LoC). Furthermore, Pakistan’s J-10 C fighter jets, equipped with long-range PL-15 missiles, possess the capability to engage Indian jets from a considerable distance.
Market Reaction
While Indian sources have disputed some aspects of these claims, the market response was immediately felt. Dassault Aviation, which had seen a rise in stock value due to strong Rafale sales, witnessed a minor drop. On the other hand, reports of shares of Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, the producer of Pakistan’s J-10C and JF-17 jets, surged.

Get your degree certificate and burn it down to ashes cuz it is totally useless with such level of false claims . Paksistan is a joke of a country . O jets even tracked by pakustani rader . Keep telling your dumb public these lies and be happy . Pakistan will lose every war it tries to fight with India decisively.

Biswaroop, then why is your government silent on this? Why haven’t they publicly shown the full count of the 36 Rafale jets purchased from France?

Warisha Rashid of TECHi has written this story of Pakistan downing 3 Rafael jet of India. No wonder this writer gave preference to her religious inclinations instead of journalism. All Mullas/Mullis are madraasachap, they are proving with their own attire

Totally propoganda,konsaw Nasha karti ho madam..

Fake news, no Rafales were downed,infact Pak took down it’s own Mirage 5 jet when Chinese defense systems failed to identify the aircraft. Plus J-10C n JF-17 debris in Punjab, India. Official pics will be arriving soon.

False information.. totally baseless..

Sometimes it is wise to write facts and not rumours. Kindly do your reasearch with due diligence. dassault did not crash by 6%. It was only 1.92% down. So far there is no evidence of Rafales being shot down.

Dear Author,
I kindly request that you fact-check your article.
While reviewing the technical chart of Dassault Aviation SA — the manufacturer of Rafale jets — it’s clear that the stock remains near its all-time highs. A minor correction of around 1% is a common occurrence in many stocks and should not be misrepresented. The current narrative appears misleading and potentially propagandist.

Before publishing, at least check the facts. There is a difference between $6 and 6% for a stock.

So this is how Pakistan army is spreading the propaganda by writing paid articles on rafale and Dassault stock. Truly shameless
