IAF asks Dassault to integrate Indian weapons like 'Astra air' on Rafale fighter jets
“The IAF has asked the original equipment manufacturer Dassault Aviation to integrate Indian-made weapons like the Smart Anti Airfield Weapon (SAAW) and the Astra air-to-air missile with the Rafale which has been in service with the IAF since 2020,” defence officials said.
Along with these DRDO-developed missiles and bombs, the IAF also has plans of integrating multiple indigenously designed weapons by private sector firms, including long-range glide bombs with the aircraft in the near future, officials said. Photo: PTI
