<p class="wp-block-paragraph">India had signed an inter-governmental agreement with France in September 2016 for the procurement of 36 Rafale fighter jets at a cost of around Rs 58,000 crore.  </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://theedgemedia.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/french-ambassador.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4299" width="287" height="287"/><figcaption> Emmanuel Lenain, The French ambassador </figcaption></figure></div>



<p class="has-background has-light-green-cyan-background-color wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8220;There will be no delay in delivery of 36 Rafale jets to India as the timeline finalized for the supply of the fighter jets will be strictly respected&#8221;. </strong>   </p>



<p class="has-background has-light-green-cyan-background-color wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8220;The contractual delivery schedule of the Rafale jets has been perfectly respected till now, and, in fact, a new aircraft was handed over to the Indian Air Force in end-April in France, in keeping with the contract,&#8221;</strong>  French ambassador Emmanuel Lenain said.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Defence Minister Rajnath Singh received the first Rafale jet at an airbase in France on October 8. &#8220;We are helping the Indian Air Force in arranging for the ferry flight of their first four Rafales from France to India as soon as possible. So there&#8217;s no reason today to speculate that the schedule will not be maintained,&#8221; the envoy said.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">France is reeling under swelling cases of coronavirus and has emerged as one of the worst-hit in Europe. Over <strong>1,45,000</strong> people were infected by the virus while the death toll stood at <strong>28,330</strong>.  There were apprehensions that the delivery of Rafale jets could be delayed due to the pandemic.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, Lenain asserted that the original timeline for delivery of the jets will be adhered to.  The aircraft is capable of carrying a range of potent weapons. European missile maker MBDA&#8217;s Meteor beyond visual range air-to-air missile and Scalp cruise missile will be the mainstay of the weapons package of the Rafale jets.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Meteor</strong> is the next generation of BVR air-to-air missile (<strong>BVRAAM</strong>) designed to revolutionize air-to-air combat. The weapon has been developed by MBDA to combat common threats facing the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and Sweden.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Besides the missile systems, the Rafale jets will come with various India-specific modifications, including Israeli helmet-mounted displays, radar warning receivers, low band jammers, 10-hour flight data recording, infra-red search and tracking systems. &#8212; <em>PTI</em></p>
