“Rafale Hard Choice”: IAF Veteran reveals why India is paying billions for French Fighters

As the Indian Air Force prepares to phase out 11 fighter squadrons over the next decade including Jaguar, MiG-29 and Mirage 2000 fleets, the question of maintaining deterrence has become urgent. With LCA Mk1A delays, Mk2 yet to fly, and AMCA still in development, India’s air power faces a capacity and capability crunch. In this episode of Line of Defence,, IAF veteran Gp Capt Ajay Ahlawat (Retd) weighs in on whether Rafale is merely a hard choice or the only viable option left to prevent the hollowing out of Indian air power. Is this a strategic necessity born out of urgency? Or a costly consequence of delays in indigenous programs? #IAF #Rafale #IndianAirForce #Tejas #AMCA #DefenceNews #AirPower #MilitaryStrategy #NationalSecurity #IndiaDefense #TOI #TOIBharat #breakingnews #indianews #trendingnews —————————————————————————————————————————— TOI Bharat – Your Window to India And Its Neighbourhood TOI Bharat delivers the latest news, biggest voices, sharpest views and in-depth coverage of India’s political, social and economic landscape.
