After the jets safely landed at Amabala Air Force station, Rajnath Singh expressed his reaction on his twitter handle.
The Defence Minister praised and thanked PM Narendra Modi saying Rafale jets could purchased only because he took the right decision to get the air crafts through an Inter-Government agreement with France
also twitted, “I would like to add, if it is anyone who should be worried about or critical about this new capability of the Indian Air Force, it should be those who want to threaten our territorial integrity.” “Rafale jets were purchased when they fully met the operational requirements of the IAF. The baseless allegations against this procurement have already been answered and settled.” and “This aircraft has very good flying performance and its weapons, radar and other sensors and Electronic Warfare capabilities are amongst best in the world. Its arrival in India will make the IAF much stronger to deter any threat that may be posed on our country.”
Rafale deal. India had signed a deal of 59 thousand crore rupees with France four years ago to buy 36 Rafale aircraft. But now five Rafale aircraft have come to India.
