Rafale to fly in Indian skies soon
The French Rafale jets will practise combat drills with IAF's top of the line Sukhoi-30 MKIs in Rajasthan this June when the Garuda bilateral exercise resumes after four years.
This is the first time that the French Rafales, which India is looking to buy, will be pitted against IAF fighters in Indian airspace in war drill. Ex Garuda 2014 will be held during June 2-13 at Jodhpur.
Besides Sukhoi- 30MKIs, the IAF will field Mig-27s and Mig-21 Bisons for the exercise. The Rafales will operate in an Indian environment against IAF's fighter fleet...
...Jodhpur is one of the frontline bases of the IAF. The French will be looking to demonstrate Rafale's capability in an operational scenario. The IAF is looking to buy 126 Rafales.
