India has received the first of its 36 Rafale aircraft from France during a ceremony at Bordeaux, France on Tuesday.
Senior officials of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh were present at the ceremony. The deal with France is considered to be one of the most expensive in Indian history as pressure from inside India is building to ensure transparency in such mega-deals.
The acquisition has been done to beef up India’s air defense especially with a number of outdated Mig-21s crashing regularly.
All things aside, the ceremony was marked with their ritual worship, Shastra Puja, to protect the aircraft from evil and whatnot. The lemons and coconuts are making people laugh big time and you are going to as well.
The Twitterati are having a field day, making fun of the acquisition in hilarious ways. Let’s have a look:
Hamara Bajaj moment on French soil. Taking delivery of French-made fighter jets equipped with cutting edge technology and still using nimboos to ward off evil spirits and coconuts to make it holy. Thank god we are alive to see such interesting things. #Rafale pic.twitter.com/qNlvJSFzWZ

Will serve you another Tea, but this time would be of "Lemon Flavor". Lemons which your Defence Minister placed on #Rafale. Trust me, you will like that flavor too from Pakistan side. Will also send an extra cup for #Abhinandan too.#PakistanZindabad #PakistanAirForce #PakArmy https://t.co/jcs45RLGKE

What are your thoughts on the matter? Let us know in the comments section.
Laughs aside Pakistan need to take Rafale threat seriously. Rafale can take down PAF jets as soon they take off from air base. As rafale have long range shooting missiles.PAF need to come up with something new to counter this.
yes things like we are using since a decade
looks like you are nit the smartest tool in the shed
Dude can you share your research..? If PAF can shoot down SU-30 MKI then Rafale is nothing further away from that. This is new generation of Air Combat in which Jets maneuverability and range matter less as the smart missiles could target the enemy from further beyond the visual range.
Pakistan has already tested PL-15 from JF-17 Thunder block II and it will be integrated into block III
i think one should not hurt / make a joke of other’s religious activities / acts as we may return the favor which will be our fault
Only one sentence
The tea was fantastic… :)
Jahaz jitnay mazri lay le’n latest . Tapper chaiay ura ker mukabla kernay ke . :) .
Lol…if lemons n coconuts can save rafale.then it wd b far better to buy these for india as well..why to waste so much money…..??
Over all we can say lemeon are used to save india lol
