We stand alongside the Indian Air Force since 1953, we are totally committed to fulfill its requirements for the decades to come and to be part of India’s ambitious vision for the future“, has declared Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation.

A day after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh formally took delivery of the first of the 36 Rafale multi-role fighter jets, Dassault Aviation, the French company that manufactures the jets, has released the first airborne photographs of the second aircraft with the tail number RB-002.

The first batch of four Rafale jets will fly to their home base in India by May 2020. All 36 jets are expected to arrive in India by September 2022.

On Tuesday, Singh had attended the handover ceremony along with his French counterpart Florence Parly at aircraft maker Dassault Aviation facility in Merignac, southwestern France.

The RB001 Rafale, denoting the initials of Air Chief Marshal Rakesh Bhadauria who played a key role in striking the ₹59,000-crore deal for the jets in his previous role as IAF deputy chief, was unveiled with the Indian tricolour as its backdrop.

Parly described the Rafale as a symbol of the best France has to offer India to protect its sovereignty and also of the French commitment to the 'Make in India' initiative.

This range of Rafale fighter jets have been specially designed to meet the needs of the IAF, which its manufacturer described as a new step in the company's long-standing relationship with India.

What is amazing is the efficiency of the Rafale: Just if I believe what is written
  • For 2 Pak F-16 you need 4 SU-30 MKI or 1 Rafale : Efficiency X 4
  • Disponibility Rafale 75% Min SU-30 MKI 50% : Efficiency X 1.5
  • 5 sorties per 24h against 3 : Efficiency 5/3
Total 4x1.5x5/3 = 10
So your 36 Rafale provide the same efficiency than 360 SU-30 MKI :eek:
