IAF set to deploy Rafales in Hasimara for eastern front with China

Hangars, shelters, maintenance facilities and infrastructure for the Rafales have come up at both Ambala and Hasimara airbases. The Hasimara airbase, close to the Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet tri-junction, was established with Toofani aircraft after the 1962 war with China. The IAF is "absolutely on target" on the Rafale induction plan, Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria said on Saturday.
