How is Rafael
Of the five Rafale aircraft that arrived in India, three have single seats and two have double seats. The first major of the jet is stationed in Ambala. At present, tensions starting at the border with China and Pakistan remain, can easily attack both countries in any future emergency.
Today Rafale is counted among the most modern and powerful aircraft in the whole world. It is also relevant that Rafale aircraft purchased by India have avionics, radars, and weapon systems, making it the most modern fighter jet in South Asia.
