Three Rafale jets land in Bengaluru for Aero India show

 Amid a huge raging political storm over the Rafale deal, three French made fighter jets landed here for the Aero India show 2019, beginning February 20. The fighter jets touched down at the Yelahanka Air Force Station, a defence official said.

The Rafale jets landed on a day when the Comptroller and Audit General (CAG) report on Indo-French Rafale deal was tabled in Parliament. The Rafale fighter jet will take part in the rehearsals on Thursday for the five-day 12th edition of Asia's premier air show beginning on February 20, the official said.

 

Two of the fighters will be used for flying exercises and the third for static display, reports said.
