IAF खरीदेगी Additional 114 Rafale F4 Jets ? - Vnation111
Indian Air Force chief VR Chaudhari while taking to Indian media pushed for procurement of 114 jets and didn’t want to be contend just with procurement of an additional 36 Rafale like his predecessor was. Chaudhari was clear with his words and stressed that IAF is happy with Rafale procurement and also said Rafale is not the default front runner in the tender for 114 jets but also added that IAF is not looking to add another fighter type in the fleet in a way IAF Chief inevitable has committed to the procurement of more Rafale fighter jets.
India had placed an order with France in Government to government deal for procurement of 36 Rafale F3R standards with India-specific enchantments for 8.8 billion dollars. Indian-specific enchantments roughly were around 13000 crores that won’t be recurring in future Rafale procurements since it was a one-time cost but the French company Dassault itself is now moving to develop F4-standard development from 2024 onwards that will see a considerable improvement in capabilities and equipment that will see a further rise in the cost of the jets in near future by 10-15%.
