India, France to begin contract negotiations for 26 Rafale-Marine jets this week
Tuesday, 28 May 2024 India is set to begin official contract negotiations with France this week for the substantial acquisition of 26 Rafale-Marine fighters, a deal valued at over Rs 50,000 crore. The Indian Navy is eager to induct these supersonic jets for its two aircraft carriers promptly, driven by the increasing Chinese threat in the Indian Ocean Region.
French warplanes, including Rafale and Mirage 2000 fighter jets, recently carried out targeted missile strikes against ISIS sites in Syria. This military action, confirmed by French Armed Forces Minister Sebastien Lecornu, was part of France's ongoing commitment to the multinational coalition under "Operation Inherent Resolve." The operation aims to defeat ISIS and stabilize the region. France has been actively involved in counterterrorism efforts, including airstrikes and intelligence-gathering missions using maritime patrol aircraft. This latest operation follows a similar strike by the United States, marking a continued international effort to combat ISIS in the region.

A body has been recovered from a flooded coal mine in the 3 Kilo area of Umrangso, where nine workers became trapped on January 6. Despite ongoing search and rescue efforts by teams, including a joint diving team and the Indian Navy deep divers, conditions remain harsh within the 300-foot-deep mine, significantly reducing chances of survival. The mine is believed to be illegal, and one person has been arrested in connection with the incident. The authorities are working to pump out water from the mine using high-power pumps, with the water level reported to have decreased to about 100 feet.
