News India Live, Digital Desk: The Indian Air Force is considered one of the most powerful forces in the world, but to maintain its reputation and deal with modern challenges, some big steps are now being taken. It is reported that talks between India and France regarding 114 Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft (MRFA) have reached a new level. This deal is not only big for the Indian defense sector, but strategically it can change the equation of entire South Asia.

Increase from 36 to 114 now
You might remember that when 36 Rafale aircraft came to India for the first time, there was a lot of discussion about them. His strength and lethality had surprised everyone. But now the needs of the Air Force have increased. Experts believe that 36 aircraft are not enough to meet the decreasing number of squadrons. That is why now there is talk of 114 more aircraft. If this mega deal is finalised, it will prove to be a ‘game-changer’ for the security of Indian skies.

After all, why only France and Rafale?
The defense relations between India and France are very old and trustworthy. The biggest feature of Rafale is its versatility – be it mountain peaks or desert areas, this aircraft is adept at defeating the enemy in every situation. India’s experience with French company Dassault Aviation has been good, hence Rafale is being considered the first choice in terms of technology and maintenance.

Not just buying, but making in the country!
The most important thing in this whole deal is that India does not just want to buy aircraft from outside. The government is trying to promote ‘Make in India’. This means that a large part of these 114 aircraft will be made in India. This will not only help our engineers learn new technologies but will also create employment opportunities in the country.

What is the sign for the neighbors?
When the strength of the Air Force increases manifold, its impact is directly felt across the border. Equipped with modern radar systems and dangerous missiles, these aircraft have the ability to destroy any enemy plan in a moment. India’s intention is clear – peace should be maintained, but if anyone raises an eyebrow, we are fully prepared to give a befitting reply.

This deal is not limited to papers only, it is a picture of a modern and strong India, which knows how to protect its skies.
