Rafale fighter jets were among the aircraft that were used by the Indian Armed Forces to target terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir during Operation Sindoor, launched by India in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The fighter jets successfully completed their mission and destroyed terror hideouts on the enemy’s soil. The Indian Armed Forces’ trust in Rafale jets has strengthened further following its performance during the India-Pakistan faceoff. There is no doubt that this Made-in-France fighter jet created an atmosphere of fear in the enemy’s heart, helping in winning the psychological warfare even before the actual faceoff. Rafale is among the costliest and most high-tech fighter jets in the world and is known for its versatility and real-world mission readiness. But do you know which part of the aircraft is the most expensive one? Here’s the answer.

Rafale Parts That Will Be Made In India

France’s Dassault Aviation, the company that makes Rafale, has signed a major deal with the Tata Group. As per the deal, both companies will make the body of the fighter jet in India itself.
