Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh said on Saturday that the United States had made no official offer to sell F-35 stealth fighter jets to India. Speaking during the Tarang Shakti air exercise in Jodhpur, he remarked that US personnel did not even allow Indian officials near the aircraft despite discussions about a possible sale. The F-35 participated in the multilateral exercise for the first time, alongside forces from 7 foreign countries. Singh also highlighted the IAF’s operational capabilities, citing its experience during Operation Sindoor in 2025. (PC: HT)
