Will be a game-changer: Air Force chief
The acquisition of the Rafale fighter jets and the S400 air defence system will go a long way in addressing the depleting squadron strength of the Indian Air Force (IAF), Air Chief Marshal (ACM) B.S. Dhanoa said on Wednesday.
“We had reached an impasse in the Medium MultiRole Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) negotiations. We had only three options: wait and hope for the best, withdraw the Request For Proposal and start over again or do an emergency purchase... Both the Rafale and the S400 are like a booster dose to the IAF,” he said at the annual press conference ahead of the Air Force Day on October 8. India and Russia are expected to conclude an agreement for five regiments of the S400 Triumf air defence system on Friday during the annual bilateral summit.
