India and France recently held the Garuda series of exercises mainly focused towards BVR combat with Rafales and Su-30s. Seems like they are intent on not having a repeat of Balakot though reading between the lines, they have a ways to go.
I didnt realize though that they didnt have Meteor missile for their Rafales. Anyone know why?

I think he was talking about Sukhoi jets not IAF Rafale jets
I think you are correct. They are talking about Su-30s only there. Still interesting that IAF top Su-30 squadron pilots didnt want to pit themselves against the top missile to see what they could really do against a more advanced adversary.

By this post I am not indulging myself into trolling but I hink results are "already" known to them; the most they could claim after such encounter is a new title "Meteor DODGERS"

They're talking about IAF flankers involved in the exercise

No, India does have Meteor for it's Rafales. I think he was talking in the context of the Sukhois.
