The full consignment of Rafale will come by April next year, 11 Rafale aircraft by March 2021: Defense Minister.

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday that the consignment of 11 Rafale aircraft is reaching India by March this year, while the rest of the aircraft will reach the country by April 2022 next year.

Responding to the questions of Mahesh Poddar, a Bharatiya Janata Party MP in the Rajya Sabha, the Defense Minister said, ’11 Rafale aircraft will reach the country.

The full consignment of the aircraft will arrive in the country by April 2022. Poddar questioned how many Rafaels have arrived in India so far and how many are yet to come and how long they will all be ready for the war.

The Defense Minister said that our army has now confined Pakistan within its border. The kind of action that is done by our army is less appreciated.

The Defense Minister also answered the question of Dr. Santanu Sen, MP of All India Trinamool Congress.

He said that we are insisting on indigenization and there are 101 items that will no longer be imported from abroad but will be manufactured by Indians only in India.

Please tell that Rafael can fly to an altitude of 60 thousand feet in a minute. This will accelerate the modernization of the Indian Air Force, where until now the Air Force’s MiG aircraft was known for unmistakable targets, there will now be more precise targeting Rafale.

The globally most capable fighter aircraft Rafael is a two-engine medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) manufactured by Dassault Aviation, a French company.

Rafael fighters are designated as ‘Omnirol’ aircraft, which are capable of playing an important role in the war – air supremacy, air raid, ground support, heavy attack, and nuclear deterrence.
