Mega Rafale fighter & Scorpene sub deals to be inked with France by next month: Navy chief
Monday, 2 December 2024 India is set to finalize two major defense deals with France, worth around Rs 1 lakh crore, for 26 Rafale-Marine fighter jets and three additional Scorpene submarines. These deals follow an earlier Rs 32,350 crore contract for 31 armed MQ-9B Predator drones with the US. The new acquisitions will significantly bolster India's military capabilities.
French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Indonesia with First Lady Brigitte following the viral ‘slap-gate’ moment in Vietnam, which he downplayed as playful “horsing around.” The visit marks the 75th anniversary of France-Indonesia diplomatic ties. Macron was welcomed with a grand military parade and met President Prabowo Subianto to discuss deepening cooperation in defense, energy, and digitization. Talks reportedly include Indonesia’s interest in procuring French-made Rafale fighter jets and Scorpene submarines as strategic ties between the two nations grow stronger.
