After 22 years of long overhaul time, Indian Air Force is finally going to introduce new ’Fighter/Comabt Jets/Aircraft’ in their fleets with, Sukhoi 30 being introduced back in 1998 from Russia.
Although 5 such aircrafts make no substantial change, confidence does go up. 🇮🇳

Personally, very happy to see new inducted warfare jets of 4.5 generation from Dasault in form of Rafael which were due from so long, with many controversies registered in thier name.
The arrival has been such a ‘decorated movie’ from the day it has taken off from France.

The take off, arrival at UAE and the mid fueling of the aircrafts and the very arrival has been very much already spoken and many minitsers including Prime Minister and very soon Raksha Mantri outspeaking ‘THREATS’ to the noisy neighbours about their encroachments on Indian land.
The level of confidence boost so visible in the very population is worth watching that atleast there is something where we find nothing communal or it being pro or anti-BJP/Modi.
There still remains certian questions of what significant change the ‘5 Shining Starts’ make in the Power show off in the subcontinent where we have China as the direct neighbour and Pakistan as a back stabber.
A fighter squadron consists of ‘18 fighter aircrafts’ and the ones we have recieved till now does not make up a substantial numbers to form up an ‘All Rafael Fleet’. Obviously this does increase the stealth and boosts up the moral and confidence level of IAF.
All the hush around should also he calculated on the usability of these aircrafts in the near wars with any of the neighbors. No doubts can be raised on the capabilities of our men in uniform but, there still needs co-ordination and such more drills together alongside rafael.
The very so best example is ‘MIG 21’ during 1965 which were procured in the very same fashion as we see today but they were not extensively used although one of them was shot by pakistani side but the rest were out of ‘main warfare’.
