Three more Rafale jets arrive in India after flying non-stop from France
NEW DELHI: A second batch of three Rafale fighter jets arrived at Jamnagar airbase in Gujarat on Wednesday evening after flying non-stop from France, in a further boost to the strike capability of the Indian Air Force when India and China are locked in a bitter border row in eastern Ladakh.
The IAF said the three aircraft got airborne from Istres airbase in France and flew for over eight hours covering over 3,700 nautical miles before landing in India.
With the arrival of the new batch, the number of Rafale aircraft has increased to eight.
