Jodhpur: Air Chief Marshal B S Dhanoa Wednesday called Rafale a game changer and said the Supreme Court has given a "fine judgment" on petitions against the deal with France on the military aircraft. He also cautioned against the politicisation of defence purchases, suggesting that this had earlier led to the delay in the Army acquiring the Bofors gun.
"I am not going to comment on the judgment but the Supreme Court has given a very fine judgment. It has also said that this plane is badly needed," he told reporters here.
Dhanoa said as far as the technology is concerned, there is no argument against the Rafale aircraft. His remarks on the sidelines of a joint military exercise with Russia come days after the Supreme Court dismissed petitions seeking a probe into the Rafale deal.
The Congress has alleged irregularities in the deal for 36 aircraft and claimed that the Narendra Modi government is buying them at a price much higher than the one that was being negotiated by the previous government.
