Cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Thursday sent his congratulations and showered praises on the Indian Air Force and its pilots on the occasion of the formal induction of Rafale jets into the Golden Arrows squadron.
He said in his tweet “the world’s best combat proven 4.5Gen fighter plane gets the world’s best fighter pilots”.
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 best for the Gold Arrows Squadron the best, he hoped for the Rafale to beat the service record of Mirage 2000.
He remarked that the Sukhoi Su 30 MKI developed by Russia remains his favourite aircraft.
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
