The Indian Government is poised to order 114 Rafale fighters for the Indian Air Force, potentially finalizing the Multirole Fighter Aircraft contest. This decision follows the IAF's proposal and operational validation during Operation Sindoor, with the deal estimated at over ₹2 lakh crore. Additionally, Russia is expected to deliver the fourth S-400 squadron to India by May 2026, enhancing the country's air defense capabilities amid ongoing regional tensions.
