What is the Rafael deal, to increase maritime strength and give a strong message to China?
Buying 26 Rafale M warplanes from France
New Delhi: The Indian Navy is going to take a major military lead in the coming years. The government has issued a green signal for the purchase of 26 Rafael M warplanes from France. The Mega Agreement of Rs 63,000 crore is now in the final stage, which has approved the Cabinet Committee (CCS).
What is the Rafale M deal?
The agreement between the Indian government and France is being held from the government at the G2G level. Under this, the Indian Navy will get 22 single seats and 4 double seats of Rafael M (Marine) war jet. These advanced naval versions will be used in flight holders such as INS Vikramaditya and Inn Vikrand.
This agreement includes the following:
- Logistic support and ground maintenance
- Training pilots and technicians
- Creating some parts of India (under offset policy)
- If everything is according to the plan, the first volume will reach India by the end of 2029 and all 26 flights will be provided by 2031.
Why is this deal important?
The growing reserve in the Sea of China, especially in the Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific industry, has become a major strategic challenge for India. In such a situation, the use of Rafael M will strengthen the safety of India’s waters.
Rafale M Features:
- Is fitted with Stopper technology
- Strong Landing Gear and Freset Hook
- AESA with Radar and Spectera War System
- Long -distance missiles such as meteorite, scalp and Excosette
- 1.8 Machine high speed and 1850+ km operational range
- Air-to-air refueling facility
- Rafael will change Mig-29K
The Indian Navy is currently using the Mig-29K aircraft, which was purchased from Russia in 2004 and was added to the service in 2009. These flights have been released in Institr General in Institute. However, now these planes are technically old and many issues are introduced:
- 30-40 years old technology
- The accessories are not available
- Low war power
- In such a situation, Rafael M has become a state.
- Arrangements in submarine
India plans to build three new Scarbin class submarines not only Rafael M. The project will be completed in collaboration with the Majgan Dog Ship Builders Limited (MTL) and France’s Navy Committee. This will also be a huge motivation for India’s underwater war skills.
This move gives China a clear message not only to modernize the Indian Navy but also that India is fully prepared to deal with any challenge in the sea. The use of Rafael M and Scarbin submarines will be installed as a strong sea force.
The Rafael M contract can prove that the Indian Navy is a game converter. This action is a decisive effort for India’s maritime security, security strategy and maintaining balance in the Indo-Pacific sector.
