Mr. Rahul Gandhi, Do You Know Who Weakened the Indian Air Force?

A report in Business Standard published on March 21, 2013, said that IAF over 5 financial years (2008-2013) had lost a total of 50 aircraft in crashes.

In other words, IAF had lost the equivalent of one fighter squadron (16-18 fighters) in crashes every two years.

Also, 6 civilians were killed and 25 injured.”

Not only the crashes and casualties, IAF had continued to express its concern to the then UPA government about the declining capability of the forces.

He had said that the government didn’t have money to buy Rafale Jets.

Towards that end, the government signed the deal with the French government to buy 36 Rafale aircraft in flyway conditions.
