The Indian Navy will soon get 26Â Rafale-M fighter aircraft, a significant upgrade in its fighter fleet in over a decade. Sources told NDTV that a government-to-government deal of Rs 63,000 crore will be signed soon between India and France to finalise the deal.
The Navy currently operates the MiG-29K fighter jets for its two aircraft carriers – INS Vikrant and INS Vikramaditya. The Navy will induct 26 Rafale-M fighter jets – 22 single-seater fighters and four double-seater trainer aircraft.Â
Former Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Arun Prakash, spoke to NDTV on the induction of the Rafale fighter jets, explaining how it will add a "kinetic push in the Navy’s striking power". The former Navy chief also spoke on Chinese aircraft carrier deployments in the Indian Ocean and on the debate over whether aircraft carriers are more vulnerable to attacks than they have ever been.
