"rafale-fighter-jet"

India has firmly rejected Pakistan’s claims that Rafale fighter jets were lost during Operation Sindoor. A new Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Indian Air Force confirms all 36 Rafales acquired in 2016 remain operational, with maintenance support sought for the entire fleet.

Last year, Flight Lieutenant Bhawna Kanth became the first female fighter jet pilot to be part of the IAF tableau.
