Rafale fighter aircraft for Air Force


 India is planning to buy 36 "ready-to-fly" French-made Rafale fighter jets to modernise country's aging warplane fleet. Deal is still under negotiation. Airforce  combat jet fleet, is depleting fast and Rafale jets are much anticipated replacement.

The original plan was for 126 MMRCA (medium multi-role combat aircraft), out of which 18 were to be imported, while 108 were to be manufactured by HAL. Now this plan has been dropped.

During his visit to France last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had conveyed to the French government that in view of the critical operational necessity for Multirole Combat Aircraft for Indian Air Force, the Indian government wanted to acquire (36) Rafale jets in fly-away condition as quickly as possible.

India and France are set to sign the deal for 36 Rafale fighter aircraft on the eve of French President François Hollande’s visit to India for the 2016 Republic Day celebrations.
