New Delhi. The newly-acquired fourth generation Rafale omni-role combat aircraft is to make its public debut at the 88th anniversary parade of the Indian Air Force (IAF) on Thursday, an official statement said on October 5.
Five Rafale’s were inducted in the IAF on September 10 but only one of them will feature in the flypast that will mark the culmination of the parade at the Hindon Air Base on the outskirts of the national capital. The Rafale will, in all likelihood lead the flypast, that will showcase the various aircraft in the IAF fleet.
The IAF will progressively induct the 36 Rafale’s it has purchased from France and another five are expected to arrive at the Ambala Air Base, where the first squadron of the combat jet, designated the Golden Arrows, is based.
