new Delhi. In the past, 5 fighter aircraft that came from France (France) to India (Rafale) will be included in the Indian Air Force today. A grand ceremony will also be held at Ambala airbase. French Minister of Defense will also be present along with Defense Minister Rajnath Singh in this ceremony. It is worth mentioning that amid the ongoing border dispute with China, 5 Rafale will be handed over to the Airforce in a grand event held at Ambala airbase from 10 am today.
By the way, it is being said about these aircraft that after handing it over to the Air Force, the strength of the Indian Air Force will get infallible power. The first consignment of five Rafale aircraft, considered a trump card for the Air Force, arrived in India on 27 July. But now it is being formally handed over to the Air Force on 10 September.
Explain that the Air Force has signed a deal to purchase 36 Rafale fighter aircraft from France at a cost of 59 thousand crores. The next consignment of four more Rafale aircraft is expected in October. The aircraft will form part of the Air Force’s Golden Arrow Squadron in a spectacular ceremony at the Air Force Station in Ambala, Haryana. If we separate Rafale from the Air Force, at present, sources say that the Indian Air Force is facing a shortage of state-of-the-art fighter aircraft. Accordingly, this day is considered to be very important, because Rafael, who has the power to change the balance of power in the region, will be the pride of his fleet of fighters on this day.
