Three Rafale jets arrive at Jamnagar airbasein Gujarat from France: Officials

Live Mint  

Three more French built multi role Rafale aircraft landed in India on Wednesday taking the total number of jets to arrive in India from France to eight. The three aircraft landed in Jamnagar in Gujarat, a person in the know of the matter said. The new aircraft are being inducted 23 years after India inducted the Russian designed Sukhoi aircraft and 19 years after India first started its search for a state of the art fighter jet to replace the MiG-21 squadrons decommissioned over the years. With the Mig-27s decommissioned last year, he IAF is already down to just over 30 squadrons, far less than the sanctioned 42 required for a two-front war against Pakistan and China.
