On Wednesday, a Chinese-made J-10 fighter jet operated by the Pakistan Air Force reportedly shot down at least two Indian military aircraft, including a French-made Rafale, according to Western officials.

The incident has drawn significant media attention, with analysts and news outlets closely examining the aerial engagement. Social media users and defense observers have been comparing the performance of China’s PL-15 air-to-air missile with the Meteor missile, a radar-guided system developed by the European defense consortium MBDA.

Adding a layer of satire to the ongoing tensions, some Pakistani users listed what they claimed to be Rafale jet wreckage for sale on OLX, a popular local online marketplace known for second-hand goods, further fueling the digital mockery aimed at India.
