New delhi date. Thursday, March 12, 2021

India is set to receive another 17 Rafale aircraft this month, which will significantly increase the strength of the Indian Air Force. Sources said that the Air Force is preparing to deploy a second squadron of Raphael aircraft at an air base at Hashimara in West Bengal. The second squadron will be ready by mid-April.

While Hashimara Airbase is very close to the trijunction of China, India and Bhutan, it seems that Raphael's squadron is being deployed at Hashimara Airbase to deal with any future maneuvers by China.

A squadron of Raphael is deployed at Ambala Air Force Base. The first batch of Raphael aircraft arrived in India on July 29 last year. Five jets landed in India at that time and so far 11 Raphael aircraft have arrived in India. Will go.
