The Winner Aircraft of INS Vikrant to be Announced

There are rumours that the Rafale M from Dassault France will be selected and determined as the winner as the new fighter jet to be deployed on India's most recent and indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant. However, India has not announced the winner of the competition between the Dassault Rafale M fighter jet and the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.

The New Indian Express published a piece of news on 22 March 2023 stating that India is expected to acquire more Rafale jets, and this time for the Indian Navy. The sources interviewed said that the contract for the acquisition of Rafale M would be signed during the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to India soon. The Rafale M selection is inseparable from purchasing 36 Rafales for the Indian Air Force (IAF). The Winner Aircraft of INS Vikrant to be Announced
