NEW DELHI : Three more French built multi role Rafale aircraft landed in India on Wednesday taking the total number of jets to arrive in India from France to eight. The three aircraft landed in Jamnagar in Gujarat, a person in the know of the matter said. The first lot of five aircraft of a total of 36 ordered by India arrived in the country in July. China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force has over 600 fourth generation and fourth generation-plus jets. China is also developing the fifth generation J-20 in competition with the US’s fifth-generation fighter jets such as F-22 and F-35 made by Lockheed Martin Corp.
