Indian Air Force’s (IAF) soon to be delivered Rafale fighter jets would be fitted with the deadly SCALP and Meteor missiles, which are capable of hitting virtually any target in Pakistani territory, as early as next year Economic Times has reported.

These missiles are expected to outrank all existing weapon systems in the subcontinent and will give India a decisive edge over its enemies.


The Meteor air to air missile on the other hand has a range of 150 KM and will also outclass all other missile systems in the region, including Pakistan’s AMRAAM missiles fitted on its F-16s.

Both these attack systems on the Rafale would give it an edge in target engagement while also increasing its survival chances.
