The exercise—taking place just a day after Pakistan issued a NOTAM & engaged in maritime war games—involves deployment of frontline fighter fleets, led by Rafale & Su-30MKI squadrons.
Instead of acquiring 114 fighters in one go as planned earlier, govt looking at going in for an initial order of 54 aircraft for IAF. Navy looking at buying 26.
Rafale is considered to be one of the finest fighters in the world. With its avionics, radars & weapon systems, it is the most potent aircraft in South Asia.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will formally receive the first Rafale fighter jet in France's Merignac Tuesday. Four jets will arrive in India by May 2020.
