They didn't find the campaign of calumny against an honest Prime Minister cringeworthy. They supported the dirty "Chowkidar Chor Hai" Campaign.
They call #Rafale coverage hyped on the day it comes to India.
We'll hopefully have 4 sqds (not 2) of Rafales by 2024.
You'll burn more. ImageImageImageImage
French Def. Minister is visiting India for Rafale Induction Ceremony with a proposal for more Rafales.
New jets will be cheaper as costs for training, infra & India-specific enhancements are taken care of.
India might consider 2 more sqds. We need them.
