Uttam's Take: Rafales are good, but what about COVID?

July 30, 2020 10:50 IST

The Indian Air Force received its first batch of Rafale jets on Wednesday, giving India's air power a strategic edge in the midst of a bitter border row with China in eastern Ladakh.

Also on Wednesday, with 15 lakh COVID cases, India moved towards the second spot in the list of nations hit by COVID-19.

Uttam Ghosh offers his take on the Rafales's arrival at a time when India's coronavirus crisis is getting worse.
