New delhi date. Monday 28 September 2020

France has handed over five more Rafale fighter jets to India. The second batch of five Rafale aircraft will arrive in India in October. It will be deployed at Kalaikunda Air Force Station in West Bengal. Which will protect the eastern border with China.

The five aircraft involved in Raphael's first batch were inducted into the Indian Air Force during a formal ceremony on September 10. Raphael has been deployed at Ambala Air Force Station. Raphael has been used in Afghanistan, Libya, Mali and Iraq and will now be used in India. The 4.5 fourth generation fighter jet will be from the Raphael RB-001 to 005 series.

Raphael's bow to the Golden Arrow Squadron

A squadron has been revived for Raphael's deployment at the Ambala Air Force Station, which was terminated by the Air Force. The name of this squadron is 17 Golden Arrow. This was revived last year by former Air Force chief BS Dhanoa and now the squadron is handling Raphael's arch in Ambala.

The squadron was formed on October 1, 1951, but withdrew from the MiG-21 fleet in 2016. Now this glorious squadron has been brought back into existence for the most dangerous warplane Raphael.

The enemy will be deployed without crossing the border

Raphael aircraft have the ability to annihilate enemy positions without crossing the border. Crossing the border without air space, Raphael has the ability to hit targets up to 600 km across Pakistan and within China.

The Indian Air Force has managed to wreak havoc in Pakistan and China by deploying Raphael on the border in 45 minutes from Ambala and locating the target from there again. The range of Raphael, capable of air-to-air and air-to-surface firepower, is thus being shown as 3700 kilometers.

This aircraft can only be refueled in the air. So this range can be extended somewhere beyond the defined range. This means that if necessary, Raphael can go inside the enemy's territory and carry out air strikes from a distance of more than 600 kilometers.
