India has given the green light to France and decided to purchase Dassault Rafale M fighter jets and Scorpene attack submarines.
There are rumours that the Rafale M from Dassault France will be selected and determined as the winner as the new fighter jet to be deployed on India's most recent and indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant. However, India has not announced the winner of the competition between the Dassault Rafale M fighter jet and the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
Indian Navy is near the total completion of the INS Vikrant (R 11) aircraft carrier. Local media claimed the Rafale M omnirole fighters are one step closer.
