Fighter Jet  

Pakistan fully closed its airspace on February 26 after the Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter jets struck a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist training camp in Balakot following the Pulwama terror attack

French ambassador to India Alexandre Ziegler has stated that the first Rafale fighter aircraft will arrive in India in two months, 'perfectly on time'

 

The integration of the missiles with the jets aims at reinforcing the combat capability of the Indian Air Force (IAF)

Facing a dipping number of fighter jets in India, PM Modi signed an SOS deal. In 2016, an inter-governmental deal was signed with France to purchase "ready-made" 36 Rafale aircraft from Dassault aviation.

The Defence giant Lockheed Martin is trying to make this deal sound interesting for India, but it still has to face a stiff competition from other manufacturers based out of the US, Europe and Russia who are also pitching their latest fighter jet for this mega-deal

The aim was to use the civil airport in case of any eventuality, validate the fighter operations procedure, familiarise the crew and pilots about the Air Field and coordinate with civil agencies for these operations. 

In December, the apex court had rejected the petition that accused the government of deliberately procuring 36 Rafale fighter jets at an inflated price to help Anil Ambani’s newly formed defence firm get an offset contract with jet-maker Dassault Aviation.

The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets were caught on Indian radars and preventive measures were taken. As the jets remained within Pakistani-controlled territory, they were not shot down.

These fake social media handles were also carrying his pictures and personal details in the bio. Some of the fake accounts also got thousands of followers within a few hours of creating them.

According to a senior IAF official, to enhance the firepower capacity of Sukhoi-30s it will be equipped with SPICE-2000. Currently, only Mirage-2000 fighter jets are capable of delivering these bombs.
 

The Pashtun leadership has called for a UN inquiry into the matter alleging that this was the latest misuse of the F-16 fighter jets, and that Pakistan has been consistently using them to harass the Pashtuns, who are not terrorists

Although MiG-21 fighter jets maybe old and ageing, they are still capable of taking down a much modern Pakistan's F-16. Defence experts have hailed Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman for his shoot down.

Wing Commander Abhinandan will be released today at the Wagah Border after getting captured by the Pakistan army during aerial combat between Indian and Pakistani fighter jets.
