Celebrations are held in India, dedicated to the meeting of the five Rafale fighters, which flew out of France the day before yesterday and proceeded through the Al-Dhafra military base in the United Arab Emirates. During their stay in the UAE, French-made fighters in India closely followed Iran's rocket fire, which he spent in the area of the Strait of Hormuz. The target of the Iranian missiles was the layout of the American Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, established in Bandar Abbas.
Indian Defense Minister Rajnat Singh announced that, that when Rafale entered Indian airspace, a pair of Indian Air Force Su-30MKI fighters took them to escort. The planes flew to the Ambala airbase in the general air formation.
The Minister was broadcasting live Twitter feeds of the appearance of the Rafale in Indian airspace, as well as their landing at the above Indian air base.
