New Delhi:
The primary batch of 5 Rafale multirole fighter jets will probably be formally inducted into the Indian Air Pressure at 10 am in Ambala air base in Haryana at this time. The primary batch of 5 Rafale jets arrived in India on July 29, practically 4 years after India signed an inter-governmental settlement with France to purchase 36 jets for Rs 59,000 crore. A standard water cannon salute will probably be given to the Rafale fleet earlier than its ceremonial induction into the 17 Squadron, IAF spokesperson Wing Commander Indranil Nandi stated.
Listed here are some pictures of the Rafale induction ceremony to happen at 10am:
The plane will probably be a part of 17 Squadron, the ‘Golden Arrows’
