Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha today said induction of Rafale fighter jets is expected soon. Briefing reporters in New Delhi, he said Indian Air Force requires 6 more squadrons of Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft, MMRCA-type fighters in addition to 36 Rafales, provided they are affordable. Admitting that the IAF is facing obsolescence problems like other air forces, the Air Chief said IAF would be fully net centric force in three years. He said Air Force stands by its order for 120 Tejas fighters, which will be inducted as it is and be upgraded later.
