Anchors compared Rafale to China’s J-20 and Pakistan’s F-16 — and found it ‘better on all counts’. News18 India could see both enemy countries 'were shivering'.
India has bought 5 types of French fighters since 1953. While Jaguar was made by a French-British company, rest including Rafale are products of Dassault Aviation.
The 5 Rafale aircraft will spend the night at a French air base in UAE before arriving at Ambala air base Wednesday where a closed induction ceremony will be held.
While operational deployment usually takes six months, due to these 'extraordinary circumstances' the fighters will be ready to be deployed within a week.
France will remain under lockdown until 11 May, delaying the delivery. Indian personnel are now undergoing limited training that had completely stopped in March.
Former IAF chief Air Marshal B.S. Dhanoa took a veiled dig at previous govts, saying they kept negotiating for 10 years to get the advanced multi-role jets.
The screwworm has breached the biological wall established in Panama over decades. The pest is relentlessly marching northwards—helped by Trump’s flailing foreign policy.
New bill aims to fix key issues with IBC 2016, including delays & patchy implementation, and protect creditors, with window for genuine promoters to retain control of their companies.
The Navy has always been on board with the theaterisation plan, but the Air Force feels splitting up air assets into several theatre commands is futile & will tie up critical systems.
Putin sees this as a victory. Europeans have decided to deal with Trump on his terms for the sake of the larger Western alliance. We look at the lessons for us in India.
Over the decades may weapons and planes were bought but none that generated the hype of the arrival of tghe first five of the 36 Jets bought from France landed. One might have been misled into thinking that Modi personally built these jets instead of paying for them. Had the UPA deal been continued, 18 Jets would have already been in service with another 108 built over a decade in India instead of a paltry 36 Jets to be delivered over a few years. The country has been reduced to cheap theaterics. Despite the most brutal lockdown imposed for two months, COVID rages on. The economy is on oxygen. Yet, the show goes on. Rafael today, Ram mandir tomorrow and god knows what else the day after.
With these kind of articles it is apparent why you need financial support for running it. Patehtic reporting. Even removing it from google not to show Absurd Print news.
Shekhar Gupta ji i believe at least you wud not be agreeing to this view may be Barkha ji may be agreeing. MAY JESUS SAVE YOU. And be sure with these typenof articles you would lose even those who are willing to rightly question govt
I am a Bhajpa supporter/ voter who doesn’t take himself, or his allegiance too seriously. Trust me, when I was watching the coverage (on TV in Geneva), I was hoping to read your views because I was certain I’d see some humorous content in your analysis. Maybe some news channels carried their excitement a bit too far, but contrary to Shekhar Gupta’s criticism of the event (in his tweet), some celebration of the induction was called for. Loved your concluding remark: “it isn’t for the media to be the judge of that”. Bon journee, Ms. Shailaja Bajpai.
Flare for language and gift of the gab have overtaken the, knowledge, understanding and rationality in selection of the reporters because that gets the TRP so let us not criticize that. All these people create economic activity of some kind or the other.
Why criticise your competition? It it because of their higher TRP?
The Print has nothing to offer except unsubstantiated criticism, negativity and hate.
No wonder you are standing with your proverbial begging bowl!
Yes, the Rafale coverage was comic. Of course, most TV anchors have turned infantile, not even juvenile. India Today’s anchors do a comic book-style presentation of the army and its weapons.

The Print’s moderation team takes a day to clear a comment which has a predominantly positive content? I am impressed.
What are ‘Hindu channels’? Are they something we theprint users need to be afraid of?
