The strength of the Indian Air Force will increase. Three more fighter jets will arrive from France today. The three Rafale fighter jets, which have been flying from Merinik Airbase since 7 a.m. today, will land at Ambala Airbase in the evening. So, all these planes will be refueled in the middle of the sky in Oman. The three fighter jets will be included in the Golden Aero Squadron after landing at Ambala Air Base.
The Indian Air Force has already deployed 11 Rafale warplanes. Now, with the addition of the three new Rafale, the number will rise to 14.
Despite the covid, the Rafale fighter jet was delivered to India on time. “It is a matter of pride for us to be able to provide all the Rafale aircraft ahead of time,” said French Ambassador Emmanuel Ellen.
A total of 21 Rafale aircraft have been delivered to India so far, Emmanuel said. Eleven aircraft arrived in India by sea, while three had already arrived. By the end of April, five more Rafale aircraft will arrive in India by water, Emmanuel said.
The Indian government has reportedly signed an agreement worth Rs 54,000 crore to import 36 Rafale fighter jets from France. All of these fighter jets are expected to reach the Indian Air Force by 2021.
The biggest feature of this aircraft is that it can reach targets from a distance of 600 kilometers without entering the borders of the enemy. The warplane has the technology to refuel without landing. It is considered the most powerful aircraft carrier in the world.
