Let me explain to you in simple terms how this decoy worked during Operation Sindoor 👇
Imagine you’re trying to hit a moving target, but that target has a fake twin running just behind it—same speed, same look, same signals.
That’s what India’s X-Guard did.
🔸 It trailed behind the real Rafale jet, sending out fake radar signals identical to the real one.
🔸 Enemy radars and missiles locked on to the decoy, thinking it's the real jet.
🔸 When Pakistani jets fired missiles, they hit the decoy, not the real Rafale.
Result?
➡️ Indian jets stayed safe.
➡️ Pakistan’s air defence was left confused.
➡️ AI + deception = next-gen warfare.
Some “Rafales” that Pakistan claimed to shoot down… were probably just AI-powered illusions.
