Synopsis
The first batch of five Rafale jets arrived in India on July 29, nearly four years after India signed an inter-governmental agreement with France to procure 36 of the aircraft at a cost of Rs 59,000 crore.
Three more Rafale fighter jets on Wednesday took off from France for a non-stop flight to India, the Indian embassy in France said. The jets are being provided mid-air refuelling by aircraft from the United Arab Emirates, it said.
"Another batch of #Rafale take to the skies on non stop flight to India with mid air refueling by UAE. Indian Air power grows further!" the embassy tweeted.
