comprehensive suite of reports analyzing the May 2025 India-Pakistan aerial clashes, focusing on the Indian Air Force (IAF) Rafale losses, particularly the confirmed loss of Rafale BS-001 to a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) J-10C’s PL-15E missile. Below, we outline the value, content, and access instructions for the three reports: (1) the main analysis, (2) the expert technical discussion, and (3) the FAQs. These reports are ideal for researchers, defense professionals, and aerospace enthusiasts seeking a PhD-grade understanding of modern air combat dynamics.

1. Analysis of Indian Rafale Fighter Losses in May 2025 India-Pakistan Clashes: Capabilities Comparison and PL-15 Missile Effectiveness

• What You’ll Gain:
  • A detailed PhD-grade analysis of the May 6–7, 2025, clashes during India’s Operation Sindoor, triggered by a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir (April 22, 2025).
  • Statistical breakdown: Pakistan’s claim of 5 IAF losses (3 Rafales, 1 MiG-29, 1 Su-30MKI), with only 1 Rafale (BS-001) confirmed via wreckage in Akalia Khurd, Punjab.
  • In-depth comparison of Rafale (RBE2-AA AESA radar, SPECTRA EW suite, Meteor missile) vs. J-10C (KLJ-7A AESA radar, AWACS integration, PL-15E missile).
  • Evaluation of PL-15E’s ~145 km range, Mach 5 speed, and AWACS-guided silent launches, explaining its effectiveness against Rafale BS-001.
  • Tabular data (e.g., aircraft losses, engagement scale) replacing interactive charts for PDF compatibility.
  • Conclusion: One Rafale confirmed lost to PL-15E, with unverified claims debunked (e.g., recycled MiG-29 imagery).
• Why Buy?:
  • Provides a rigorous, evidence-based analysis of a pivotal 2025 air combat event, addressing tactical and strategic implications.
  • Essential for understanding BVR combat, missile technology, and networked warfare dynamics.

2. Analysis of the May 2025 India-Pakistan Clashes: Experts Technical Discussion

• What You’ll Gain:
  • Two technical dialogues (brief and detailed) between a Rafale expert and a J-10C expert, analyzing the BS-001 loss to a PL-15E missile.
  • Missile Kinematics: Compares Meteor’s ramjet (>150 km, sustained Mach 4+) vs. PL-15E’s dual-pulse motor (~145 km, Mach 5), addressing the reported 182 km engagement range.
  • EW Interactions: Details SPECTRA’s active cancellation (countering PL-15E’s AESA seeker) vs. J-10C’s DRFM jamming and AWACS-guided silent launches.
  • Tactical insights: J-10C’s AWACS advantage and salvo doctrine vs. Rafale’s multirole strain and potential pilot error.
  • Proposes telemetry sharing to refine BVR and EW tactics, highlighting networked warfare’s dominance.
  • Clarifies discrepancies in Pakistan’s claims (e.g., unconfirmed BS-022 loss, recycled imagery).
• Why Buy?:
  • Offers a unique expert perspective on technical factors behind the Rafale loss, ideal for aerospace engineers and defense strategists.
  • Deepens understanding of missile and EW performance in real-world combat.

3. FAQs: Indian Rafale Losses in May 2025 India-Pakistan Clashes

• What You’ll Gain:
  • 20 concise FAQs addressing key questions about the clashes, Rafale and J-10C capabilities, PL-15E effectiveness, and confirmed losses.
  • Covers context (Operation Sindoor, Pahalgam attack), statistics (1 confirmed Rafale loss vs. 5 claimed), technical comparisons (Meteor vs. PL-15E, SPECTRA vs. J-10C EW), and tactical factors (AWACS role, pilot error).
  • Clarifies discrepancies (e.g., unverified claims, recycled imagery) and confirms one Rafale (BS-001) lost to PL-15E.
  • Accessible format for quick reference, complementing the main report and technical discussion.
• Why Buy?:
  • Perfect for readers seeking a quick, authoritative overview of the clashes without diving into technical details.
