New Delhi: President Droupadi Murmu will visit Ambala, Haryana on Wednesday where she will take a sortie in a Rafale fighter jet at the Ambala Air Force Station.

Notably, the President who is the Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces also took a sortie in a Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter aircraft at the Tezpur Air Force Station, Assam on April 8, 2023.

It is worthy to note here that Rafale was also deployed during ‘Operation Sindoor’.

Earlier this month IANS reported that Dassault Aviation of France is planning a Rafale Assembly Line in India with an eye on the Indian Navy and Air Force orders.

According to sources close to the development, India can soon become the first country to produce a 4.5 generation fighter aircraft without being an Original Equipment Manufacturer or the OEM.
