Since the beginning of spring, India and China have been going through a deep military and diplomatic crisis in the Himalayas, which has already made dozens of deaths. In this particularly tense context, the two great Asian powers are reinforcing their troops in the region in order to prepare for a possible military confrontation. As we had already mentioned in a dedicated analysis, the strengthening of the Indian military posture involves in particular the emergency order of new Russian aircraft but, above all, the accelerated delivery of combat aircraft Rafale, produced by the French group Dassault Aviation.
In accordance with what had been announced in recent weeks, five planes Rafale of the Indian Air Force took off this morning from the Dassault Aviation site in Mérignac to travel to their new base in Ambala, in the North of India. These five aircraft will very quickly integrate No 17 Squadron “Golden Arraows”, where they could be operational in just a few days. Thus, if the current delivery involves only a handful of planes, it is a real event for the Indian Air Force, but also for Dassault Aviation, which still has great commercial hopes in India.
