New Delhi: Five Rafale fighter jets, who are on their way to Ambala airbase from France to join the Indian Air Force fleet, have entered the Arabian Sea. The Indian Rafale contingent, which took off earlier on Wednesday from the United Arab Emirates – their pit stop in the nearly 7,000-kilometre-long journey from France, established contact with Indian Navy warship INS Kolkata upon entering the Western Arabian Sea.
The naval warship welcomed the Rafale contingent in a radio message. Here’s the short but full conversation between INS Kolkata and a Rafale jet being flown by an IAF pilot.
INS Kolkata Delta 63: “Arrow leader (flying Rafale), welcome to the Indian Ocean.”
Rafale leader: “Many thanks. Most reassuring to have an Indian warship guarding the sea.”
INS Kolkata: “May you touch the sky with glory. Happy landing.”
Rafale leader: “Wish you fair winds. Happy hunting. Over and out.”
