India will need 200 Rafale-like jets: ex-Air Force chief
India will need around 200 medium-weight category or Rafale-like fighter jets in the next ten years, outgoing Air Force chief Arup Raha has said. India has enough heavy-weight fighters, like the Su30 MKI, and the light-weight category will be served by Tejas aircraft, he added. Notably, India had recently concluded a deal to buy 36 Rafale jets from France.
