The primary batch of 5 Rafale multirole fighter jets had been formally inducted into the Indian Air Pressure in Ambala air base in Haryana immediately. The primary batch of 5 Rafale jets arrived in India on July 29, almost 4 years after India signed an inter-governmental settlement with France to purchase 36 jets for Rs 59,000 crore. A standard water cannon salute was given to the Rafale fleet earlier than its ceremonial induction into the 17 Squadron, IAF spokesperson Wing Commander Indranil Nandi mentioned.
