In which squadron of the Indian Air Force has the first batch of Rafale Fighter Jets been inducted from the following ?

Squadron 17 – Golden Arrows
Squadron 52 – Dragons
Squadron 6 – Cobras
Squadron 4 – Tigers

The correct answer is (a) Squadron 17 – Golden Arrows.

Squadron 17 is a fighter squadron of the Indian Air Force (IAF) based at Ambala Air Force Station in Haryana. It is the first squadron to be equipped with the Rafale fighter jets. The squadron was formed on 1 July 1951 and was initially equipped with the Hawker Tempest fighter aircraft. It was later equipped with the MiG-21 fighter aircraft in 1963. The squadron was re-equipped with the Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft in 2001.

The Rafale is a twin-engine, multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by Dassault Aviation of France. It is one of the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world and is capable of carrying out a wide range of missions, including air superiority, ground attack, and reconnaissance. The Rafale was inducted into the IAF in September 2020.

The other options are incorrect because they are not the squadrons of the IAF that have been equipped with the Rafale fighter jets.
