New Delhi: Former India captain MS Dhoni on Thursday (September 10) has praised the Indian Air Force on Rafale jets induction, saying the ‘potent bird’s lethality will only increase’ in the hands of IAF pilots.
Dhoni took to twitter and wrote, “With the Final Induction Ceremony the world’s best combat proven 4.5Gen fighter plane gets the world’s best fighter pilots. In the hands of our pilots and the mix of different aircrafts with the IAF the potent bird’s lethality will only increase.”
“Wishing The Glorious 17 Squadron (Golden Arrows) all the very best and for all of us hope the Rafale beats the service record of the Mirage 2000 but Su30MKI remains my fav and the boys get new target to dogfight with and wait for BVR engagement till their upgrade to Super Sukhoi,” he added.
