💨 Abstract

India signed a deal worth Rs 63,000 crore with France for the acquisition of 26 Rafale Marine fighter jets. The fighters will be equipped with indigenous Astra Mk1 air-to-air missiles, instead of the typical European MICA and Meteor missiles. Developed by India's Defence Research and Development Laboratory, Astra Mk1 can strike aerial targets up to Mach 1.4
