The protracted dialogues and debates amongst the Government and the opposition parties in procurement of the Rafale Aircrafts from France Dassault, has not only explicit the Military secrecy in public, also it has caused an inordinate delay in acquiring the Aircraft which is an indispensable requirement of the hour for the Indian Air force to strengthen its Airpower.
