Rafale a beautiful aircraft, will benefit India says IAF
New Delhi, Sep 5: The Rafale is a beautiful aircraft, which will give India unprecedented combat capabilities, the India Airforce said amid escalating controversy over the Rs 58,000 crore deal.
Vice Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal SB Deo also said those criticising the Rafale deal must understand the laid down norms and procurement procedure.
"It is a beautiful aircraft..It is a very capable aircraft and we are waiting to fly it," he said on the sidelines of an event when asked about the controversy surrounding the Rafale deal.
