IAF pushes for 114 more Rafale jets in biggest-ever defence deal
The Indian Air Force has moved a proposal to the Ministry of Defence to acquire 114 more Rafale fighter jets as part its plan to expand its fleet.
The IAF wants the jets, capable of multi-role operations and has asked the MoD to begin the acquisition process, sources told The Tribune. Instead of the multi-role fighter aircraft (MRFA) tender, the MoD is likely to directly opt for the French Rafale.
