The sale of 30 Rafale fighter jets by France to Egypt in a deal reportedly worth €3.9 billion has raised eyebrows in India. Earlier, France and India had signed a pact for 36 Rafale jets in 2016, which was signed at twice the rate of €7.8 billion.
The Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi is said to have signed the deal on April 26 as part of defense contracts worth almost four billion euros, investigative website Disclose claimed.
While around €3.75 billion was for the purchase of 30 Rafale jets from Dassault, the rest was used to sign deals with MBDA and Safran Electronics and Defense for the sale of missile equipment.
