IAF proposes acquisition of 114 more Rafale jets
The Indian Air Force has moved a formal proposal to the Ministry of Defence seeking 114 more Rafale fighter jets as part of its multi-pronged plan to add more number of jets.
The IAF wants 114 of these jets that can perform multi-role tasks in conflict and has asked the MoD to start the acquisition process, sources confirmed to The Tribune. These jets are part of the 114 jets of the multi-role fighter aircraft (MRFA) tender and the MoD is opting to skip the tender and opt directly for the French plane.
