Those wanting to threaten India’s territorial integrity should be worried, says defence minister. FMTNews India China
This photo shared by Rajnath Singh on Twitter shows Rafale fighter jets enteringNEW DELHI: The first five Rafale fighter jets bought from France in a multi-billion-dollar deal landed in India on Wednesday and the defence minister used their arrival to launch a veiled warning to neighbouring China over territorial tensions.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said the combat jets’ arrival marked “the beginning of a new era in our military history”. “If it is anyone who should be worried about or critical about this new capability of the Indian Air Force, it should be those who want to threaten our territorial integrity,” Singh declared.
India acknowledges it is behind China and other key nations in military firepower, and the purchase of the Rafale jets is one of many made in a bid to bolster its 1.4 million-strong army. “It will help India to deal with the heightened nature of the Chinese threat, as it becomes clear that the current territorial stand-off in Ladakh will stretch into the winter months.”
