Rafale fighter aircraft News

India launched Operation Sindoor on May 6-7 to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. While Pakistan had claimed of shooting down five Indian fighter jets, Indian government has also rejected the claim.

4 Rafale aircraft of the Indian Air Force have flown continuously for 6 hours today. The Rafale fighter jet took off from the LAC and attacked its target in the Indian Ocean, destroying the enemies. After this all the fighter planes reached their base.

Indian Air Force exercise continues. Many big deadly fighter jets and fighter aircraft are participating in this exercise. One of them is this 36th Rafale which can become the enemy's time.

After tension with China, the Indian Army is fully deployed on the border. Meanwhile, France has handed over the 36th fighter aircraft of Rafale consignment to India. Rafale is such a deadly aircraft that it can reach the LAC within minutes from its base.

Earlier on August 8, in a continuous effort to disengage peacefully at the LAC, India and China held a Major General-level talk at Daulat Beg Oldi area over the withdrawal of Chinese troops from the Depsang plains in the Ladakh region. IAF has reportedly deployed most of its frontline fighter jets like Sukhoi 30 MKI, Jaguar and Mirage 2000 aircraft in the key frontier air bases in eastern Ladakh and other critical places along the LAC.

It was a moment of extraordinary pride for seven Indian Air Force (IAF) pilots who brought the first batch of five Rafale fighter aircraft to India from France on Wednesday (July 29). Minutes after landing at Ambala Air Force Station, the seven pilots were welcomed by the Air Force chief Air Marshal RKS Bhadauria. As the Rafale jets landed in Ambala, people of Bakwa village in Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh erupted in joy as Wing Commander Manish Singh belongs to this village.

The much-awaited first batch of India's five Rafale fighter jets entered the Indian air space on the morning of July 29 and were given a ceremonial welcome by Indian Air Force's Sukhoi Su-30MKIs.

India's first batch of five Rafale fighter aircraft, that took off from France's Istres airbase on July 27, will land in India on July 29. A person who played a significant role in the quick delivery of the jets to India is Air Commodore Hilal Ahmad Rather who is presently India’s Air Attache to France. He also weaponized the jets as per conditions suitable for India.

The first batch of five Rafale fighter aircraft took off from France's Istres airbase on Monday (July 27) and will land at Ambala in India on Wednesday (July 29). Sources said that security has been beefed up at Ambala Air Force Station ahead of the arrival of Rafale jets. The station is fully prepared to welcome Rafale jets, which will arrive in India after covering a distance of almost 7,364 kilometres.

The highly versatile Rafale is currently being used for bombing missions over Syria and Iraq as part of an international campaign against the self-styled Islamic State jihadist group.

The Congress had on Tuesday that the Rafale deal amounted to compromising on national interest and security and promoted "crony capitalism", while causing a loss to the public exchequer.

The two countries also decided to bolster cooperation against terrorism, and told Pakistan to bring to justice those responsible for terror strikes in Gurdaspur and Pathankot.
