India's defence minister hailed the formal commissioning on Thursday of the country's first new French Rafale jets as a "strong message" to its adversaries, amid an escalating border row with China.
The first five of a $9.4-billion (Dh34.5 billion) order for 36 Rafale aircraft formally entered service following a ceremony in Ambala in northern India.
"The induction of Rafale is a strong message for the world and especially for those who challenge India's sovereignty," Defence Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted, without mentioning China directly.
Very reassuring moment for all Indians as @IAF_MCC formally inducts first set of Rafale fighter jets."Our country will not take any step to disturb peace anywhere. We expect the same from our neighbours," Singh added.
As Raksha Mantri Shri @rajnathsingh puts it, this induction assumes even greater significance in view of the situation that has been created along our borders in recent times! pic.twitter.com/mDBDOY2bYW
