The 4.5-generation Rafales have a combat range of 780-km to 1,650-km, without mid-air refueling, depending on the nature of their mission. The fighters are armed with long stand-off weapons like the over 300-km range `Scalp’ air-to-ground cruise missiles.

4.5代“阵风”战机的作战距离为780- 1650公里。该战斗机配备了远程武器，如超过300公里射程的“斯卡尔普”空对地巡航导弹。

IAF chief Air Chief Marshal R K S Bhadauria had earlier declared that the twin-engine Rafales will “intimidate and dominate whenever and wherever” they are deployed.

印度空军参谋长巴达乌里亚元帅早些时候曾宣称，双引擎“阵风”战机将“在任何时候和任何地方都能起到威慑作用吗，并占据上风”。

IAF currently has deployed an “adequate number” of frontline Sukhoi-30MKI, Mirage-2000, MiG-29 and other fighters as well as Chinook heavy-lift and Apache attack helicopters in Ladakh as well as other stretches along the 3,488-km Line of Actual Control with to cater for any contingency.

印度空军目前已经在拉达克以及与接壤的3488公里实控线沿线部署了“足够数量”的苏霍伊- 30mki、幻影-2000、米格-29和其他斗机，以及切努克重型起重直升机和阿帕奇攻击直升机，以应付任何紧急情况。

The Rafales, if required in an emergency, can also be combat deployed swiftly. The Ambala and Hashimara airbases are eventually slated to house 18 Rafales each for the western and eastern fronts.

如果在紧急情况下需要，也可以快速部署“阵风”战机。安巴拉和哈希马拉空军基地终将分别在西线和东线保持18架“阵风”战机的部署。

法国应该用“阵风”战机轰炸那些圣战分子!

我们印度人坚决支持你们!

We could have made great Fighter aircraft but all our Defence PSUs such as HAL have thrown merit into the dustbin and are filled with reservation category employees where both jobs and promotions are based on caste quota

我们本可以制造先进的战斗机，但我们的国防部门，比如印度斯坦航空公司，里面的员工都是靠配额进去的，他们的晋升都是基于种姓配额，而不是个人能力

Such a proud n happy moment for India. N kudos to Modi n team for this. Shame on Congress who kept stalling the process for an eternity in their time n r still doing the same, putting India n its armed forces at such a grave risk.

太开心了，值得骄傲。莫迪及其团队为此感到自豪。国大党执政时期一直拖着不买“阵风”战机，导致印度军队面临如此严重的风险，真是可耻。

Viswanathan Iyer

Welcome Rafale. Much needed fighters for the tense situation.

Rafales are best choice for India. Lets make in India and sell all over world in partnership with France. Cooperation & profit sharing is BEST.
