| First batch of 5 Rafale fighter aircraft flies out of France for India | | | In a massive boost for Indian Air Force (IAF), the first batch of five Rafale fighter aircraft took off from France's Istres airbase on Monday (July 27) and will arrive in India on Wednesday (July 29). These jets will land at the Ambala Air Force Station in India on Wednesday (July 29) after covering a distance of almost 7,364 kilometres.
"India took a significant step in strengthening air power and defence preparedness with the first five Rafale fighter aircraft, built by Dassault, flying out from Merignac airbase in Bordeaux, France to India today. This also marks a new milestone in the strong and growing India-France defense cooperation," said the Indian Embassy in France in a press release.
The embassy also tweeted a short video showcasing Rafale fighter aircraft taking off from France to India with air-to-air refuelling and a single stop en route in UAE. |
