Need Rafale to boost IAF's depleting strength: IAF chief
Indian Air Force chief BS Dhanoa during a seminar on Wednesday pointed out that the IAF's strength has come down to 31 squadrons against the sanctioned strength of 42. "By providing the Rafale (fighter jets) and the S-400 (anti-missile system), the government is strengthening the Indian Air Force to counter the shortfall of our depleting numbers of aircraft," he asserted.
