Rafale will give India unprecedented combat power, says Air Force

The Vice-Chief and Deputy Chief of Air Force Staff have defended the Rafale deal.

The Vice Chief of the Indian Air Force (IAF) said on Wednesday that the "beautiful" aircraft will give India "unprecedented" combat capabilities.

The political row over the purchase of 36 Rafale jets rages but according to the IAF Vice Chief, those criticising the deal must understand the procurement norms.
