The shares of Dassault Aviation - the French company behind the Rafale fighter jet- fell sharply by 6% on Wednesday.
This development came after Pakistan’s air force shot down 5 Indian aircraft, including three Rafale jets in the wake of rising military tensions along the Line of Control (LoC).
Pakistan says Indian jets intercepted before crossing airspace
According to senior Pakistani defence officials and high-level security sources, a total of six Indian aircraft were destroyed during the encounter: three Rafale jets, one MiG-29, one SU-30, and a Heron surveillance drone.
All aircraft were reportedly flying within Indian airspace but attempting to strike Pakistani territory using stand-off munitions.
