Rafale rally: IAF accelerates push for new fighter jets to boost squadron strength amid China-Pak threat

The Indian Air Force wants more Rafale fighter jets. They plan to acquire them through a government deal with France. This is part of the MRFA program to get 114 jets. The IAF needs these jets because its fighter squadrons are decreasing. Rafales recently played a key role in Operation Sindoor. More Rafales would also help with logistics and infrastructure.
