  • The Indian Air Force used the AI-enabled X-Guard Fibre-Optic Towed Decoy system on Rafale fighters during Operation Sindoor to confuse enemy radar and missiles.
  • Developed by Israel’s Rafael, the X-Guard mimics the Rafale’s radar and electronic signatures to mislead threats.
  • Pakistan Air Force’s J-10C fighters targeted these decoys instead of real aircraft, causing false shootdown claims.
  • The system works with Rafale’s SPECTRA electronic warfare suite to provide layered defence against advanced missiles.
