The first five of the 36 Rafale jets are about to arrive in India on Wednesday. With this India has fulfilled its ambition of dominating the skies in event of a major conflict with China- New Delhi’s main rival and the most adversarial neighbor, apart from Pakistan.



The entry of Dassault’s Rafale promises to change equations drastically by giving India air superiority over China. None of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force fighter aircraft- not even the so-called fifth-generation, Chengdu J-20 can match up to Rafale’s firepower. A comprehensive comparison between Rafale and J-20 reveals that India will dominate if and when the two Asian giants battle it out in the skies in the near future.

Rafale is a 4.5 generation aircraft, whereas China claims that its ‘stealth’ J-20s are fifth-generation aircraft. However, experts say that Beijing’s claims about J-20 are exaggerated.

Air Marshal (retd.) R Nambiar has flight-tested Rafale fighter jets. He said, “Rafale is far superior to the J-20, the Chengdu fighter of China. Even though it’s believed to be a 5th generation fighter, it is probably at best a 3.5 generation aircraft. It’s got a third-generation engine as we have in the Sukhoi.” rafale india
