  • I am happy that the delivery of Rafale aircraft is on schedule, I am confident that this will add further strength to our Air Force. I wish cooperation between our two major democracies further increases in all sectors, says Rajnath Singh
     
  • Today marks a new milestone in India-France strategic partnership.I look forward to taking a sortie in the Rafale aircraft: Rajnath Singh
     
  • In India, today is the festival of Dusssehra also known as Vijayadashmi where we celebrate victory over evil. It is also the 87th Air Force Day, therefore the day becomes symbolic in so many way: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh
  • I am told that Rafale is a French word meaning gust of wind. I am sure the aircraft will live up to its name. I believe Rafale will boost India's air dominance exponentially to ensure peace and security in the region: Singh
