Air Force Chief Mr. V R Chaudhuri said that out of 4 3 Rafale jets will arrive soon in India, in February next year. He also mentioned that India is very much thankful to them (France), and he further added that the last fighter will be delivered only after completion of all the trials decided by the team while making the contract.
Yesterday Mr Florence Parley, the defence minister of France said that her country is ready to supply more Rafale jets if India wants. After the remarks of the defence minister of France, the statement of Mr V R Chaudhury came in public.
