The first batch of five Rafale jets will land in India on July 29. The jets are being flown to Ambala airbase by Indian Air Force (IAF) pilots and landed at Al Dhafra airbase in UAE on Monday after a sortie in excess of seven hours. 

En route to UAE from French airbase at Merignac, the jets clicked getting mid-air refuelling at almost 30,000 feet. They are accompanied by two A330 Phoenix MRTT refuelling planes of the French Air Force.

The Indian Air Force thanked the French Air Force for the support during aircraft's journey back home. 

The jets were refuelled by the French Air Force tanker aircraft somewhere around Greece or Israel over the sea before landing there
