Rafales Replace Russian Sukhois As India’s Frontline Fighters; Fly To France For 1st Multi-Nation Wargames

By Neeraj Rajput and N. C. Bipindra for EurAsian Times New Delhi: India is sending its Rafale combat jets to France for a multi-nation air exercise. This is the first time the 2020-inducted Indian Air Force (IAF) fighters have flown overseas to join a wargame in a friendly foreign nation’s air base. The French-origin nuke-delivery platform has emerged as the South Asian giant’s true “frontline”…

The naval variant of the French combat jet Rafale is the next on India's shopping list, and this deal will probably be made public during the French president's visit to India in March.

Rafale-M was placed against Boeing's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and both jets were evaluated by the Indian Navy last year. The chosen jet will replace the aged fleet of 43 Indian MiG-29K fighters that were acquired from Russia.

According to the French media, the Indian Navy has already chosen Rafale-M. A formal announcement will be made when President Emmanuel Macron visits New Delhi in three months.

Dassault Aviation, the manufacturer of Rafale, is confident that the Rafale-M will be suitable for the new 40,000-ton aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy, the INS Vikrant (Indigenous Aircraft Carrier 1).

The Rafale and F-18 are suitable for aircraft carriers equipped with the CATOBARs system. The Indian Navy INS Vikrant and INS Vikramaditya are STOBAR aircraft carriers.

The Rafale-M was designed to operate from the French Navy's nuclear-powered Charles De Gaulle aircraft carrier, configured with a catapult launch mechanism. It is also the only non-American fighter authorized to operate on American aircraft carriers.

India already has a Rafale flight maintenance and training center at the Ambala Air Force Station in Haryana.

India agrees to acquire the 26 Rafale fighters and three Scorpene submarines from France 🇫🇷

Agreement should be signed today during the Bastille Day celebrations in France.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 14/07/2023 - 08:51am Military

On Thursday, July 13, 2023, the Indian Ministry of Defense finally authorized the purchase of the 26 Rafale Marines and three long-awaited Scorpene submarines from France.

The choice of Rafale Marine follows a competition between the French aircraft and the U.S. F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter to equip the Indian Navy's STOBAR aircraft carriers.

The announcement came the day before the national holiday of July 14 and its traditional military parade, of which Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the guest of honor.

The Defense Acquisition Council of India approved the two acquisition proposals, the Indian Ministry of Defense said in a statement. The price, as well as other conditions, have not yet been negotiated with the French government.

India is currently looking to replace the old MiG-29K in its naval air fleet, in accordance with the desire of the Indian government to increase the strength of its military forces. Located in the heart of the Indo-Pacific region, India has an extensive coastline, open to a maritime area through which much of international trade passes. The maritime and naval air power of New Delhi is a great challenge for Despite many differences, on human rights or the war in Ukraine, Western democracies are courting Narendra Modi because her country represents a counterweight to China in the region.

However, India wanted planes capable of taking off on its INS Vikrant aircraft carrier. Equipped with a STOBAR system - with hooked landing, but without a catapult to take off the planes - few planes were therefore compatible with the Indian aircraft carrier. Thus, a competition was held in December 2022 between the only two aircraft corresponding to the criteria defined by India: the North American F/A-18 Super Hornet and the French Rafale Marine.

The IAC1 Vikrant aircraft carrier.

Long awaited, the result of this competition has been the subject of much speculation. Observers or even internal sources of the Indian military authorities gave the winning Rafale and predicted the conclusion of an agreement between Paris and New Delhi, without any official confirmation of this agreement.

Discussions about these long-awaited agreements will take into account “all relevant aspects, including comparative prices for the acquisition of similar aircraft by other countries,” the statement said. As for submarines, India has already bought 6 of the Scorpene class from France.

The press release from the Ministry of the Armed Forces of India specifies about the submarines that the three newcomers to the Indian fleet will be built "with greater indigenous content" by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, near Mumbai. This condition implies "significant employment opportunities in the national sector".

Previously, India had already announced a contract worth about 4.0 billion euros (at the time) for 36 Rafales in 2015. The first batch of five aircraft departed from France for India at the end of July 2020 to be included in Squadron No. 17 'Golden Arrows' at Ambala Air Force Station. The last aircraft of this order arrived in India in December 2022.

The naval variant was previously ordered by France, which ended up buying 42 and has been flying since 2002. This makes India the first exporting country of this variant.

A Rafale from the Indian Air Force.

France has thus won a new heavy contract for its successful fighter and strengthens its military-industrial ties with a country that it defines as one of the pillars of its strategy in the Indo-Pacific.

If it is really the last Rafale that India acquires, it remains to be seen. In October 2022, it became clear that India is looking for another 114 new 'multifunctional combat jets'. Several manufacturers from Europe, Russia and the United States are on the scene for this. India requires bidders to allow the domestic assembly of 96 of the 114 aircraft.

IAF to get Rafale boost amid India-China standoff

At least five out of the first batch of 36 Rafale fighter aircraft are likely to join the Indian Air Force (IAF) by July end, providing it much-needed muscle amid a depleting fighter strength.

The Indian Army is stretched between its northern borders with China where it is locked in multiple standoffs with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, while in the western borders it is busy tackling the increasing cross-border firing and infiltration bids by Pakistan-based terror groups.

In either case, it is air power that could tip the balance.

The first batch of five Rafale will be inducted at the Air Force Station in Ambala on July 29 subject to weather. The final induction ceremony will take place in the second half of August 20.

“IAF aircrew and ground crew have undergone comprehensive training on the aircraft, including its highly advanced weapons systems and are fully operational now,” IAF said.

Post arrival, efforts will focus on operationalisation of the aircraft at the earliest.
