French aircraft

Indian government is considering to purchase six Airbus 330 multi-role aircrafts and air refuellers from France to improve striking capabilities of Indian Air Force. The aircrafts can function as transporters, tankers and air ambulances all at once. The proposal specifies the sale of older aircrafts to IAF at lower prices with a 30-year-long platform life certification. Currently, India uses Russian IL-76 M refueller.
