New Delhi : In a big boost to Indian Air Force’s air power, three more Rafale fighter jets reached India on Wednesday evening, from France.
According to sources, these aircraft took off from France on Wednesday morning and arrived in India at 8.14 pm on Wednesday evening.
This addition of aircraft will take the total strength of Rafale fighter jets with IAF to eight, further strengthening the capacity of India to take on threats emerging from China.
Indian Air Force is likely to operationalise the second batch of Rafale jets at the earliest.
In the first batch India had received five Rafale aircraft in July and these were inducted in IAF in September. The first batch has already been operationalised and has carried out sorties in the Ladakh sector.
