The deal which was labelled as a scam by the Congress Party and was deliberately made a controversy in 2015 after PM Modi’s France visit, the first batch of first 5 Rafales has officially landed in India today. Each and every news platform has been flashing the event but what is important that people to feel the enthusiasm which is rare when they might not even get to see/ use the jets ever.
But that’s the main point of how Narendra Modi has indulged every youth and people of almost of all ages into country matters be it army, budget, politics or anything. People either supporting BJP or against him, everyone is involved into the even in some way or the other.
Talking about the earlier times, when India under the Congress rule bought Mirage 2000, which is precursor of Rafale, we didn’t even experience 5% of this enthusiasm which straight up shows how we, the people of India are now involved in everyday current affairs.
The people are more responsive towards what is happening in around the country, daily involvement ogf the entire generation has started after this government came to power in 2014 else every citizen of the country back then was as ignorant to the current affairs as Rahul Gandhi is now.
Coming to Rafale, they are said to be one of the most modern 4th generation aircrafts. The jets also have the capability to carry up to six air-to-air missile (AAM), and six specialists bombs. Rafale will be integrated with MBDA Meteor BVRAAM beyond visual range air-to-air missile, and SCALP air-to-ground missiles. The BrahMos NG missile may also be integrated on to it which makes it even more lethal. Not to forget, Rafale jets can be refuelled mid-air which makes long distance attacks even easier.
