CCS clears 26 Rafale-M for Navy in Rs 63,000 cr, biggest-ever jet deal

Quick Summary:

The contract includes 22 single-seater and four twin-seater Rafale Marine jets.

However, the Rafale M has successfully demonstrated its ability to carry out a ski-jump from the shore-based test facility (SBTF) at INS Hansa, in Goa.

Like its IAF cousin, the Rafale M is also described as an "omnirole aircraft" by Dassault, meaning that it can conduct both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions simultaneously.
