In a recent statement to idrw.org, a senior Indian Air Force (IAF) official has categorically refuted claims made by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) regarding an alleged voice transcript of an IAF Rafale pilot, call sign “Godzilla,” which the PAF claimed was shot down. The official described the PAF’s claims as “bogus” and emphasized that the PAF lacks the capability to intercept communications due to the IAF’s advanced secure network and the use of cutting-edge Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technology.

The controversy stems from the PAF’s alleged broadcast of a voice transcript purportedly belonging to an IAF Rafale pilot. The PAF claimed this as evidence of downing an Indian jet. However, the senior IAF official clarified that the Rafale’s communication systems are equipped with highly secure, encrypted SDR technology, which ensures robust protection against interception or jamming. “The PAF’s claims are baseless and lack technical credibility. Our communication networks are secure, and the SDR technology used in Rafale jets makes it virtually impossible for adversaries to intercept or manipulate transmissions,” the official told idrw.org.

The IAF’s Rafale jets, inducted into service in 2020, are equipped with state-of-the-art avionics and communication systems, including SDRs that dynamically adapt to threats and ensure secure, real-time data exchange. This technology, combined with the IAF’s encrypted network protocols, renders the PAF’s claims highly improbable, according to the official.
