Rafale | Is The Rafale Good Enough For IAF's Future Needs? | CTRL ALT DEFENCE Ep 25

Descrizione:

Join Vishnu Som and Shiv Aroor in the latest installment of CtrlAltDefence for a look at the future of the Rafale based on its wartime use during Op Sindoor. We also puncture Pak propaganda on their capture of IAF Squadron Leader Shivangi Singh, who appeared in a photograph with President Murmu earlier this week. But the big questions on the Rafale remain: the IAF wants 114 more jets, but this will break the bank. Is the government willing to make this investment? Will Dassault, the manufacturer of the jet, be ready for serious tech transfer to India if the jet is assembled here? Will Indian weapons such as the Astra 2 be integrated? Will there be problems in agreeing to the terms of integration? All that and a lot more in this deep‑dive into the future of the Rafale in IAF service.
