EXCLUSIVE!
Since September 23, 2016, and after the failure of negotiations in the MMRCA contract,
India has formally acquired 36 Rafale "off the shelf" from the French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation, for a total amount estimated at about 7, 8 billion euros.
Since then, the production of the first hunters has started in the French companies that are partners of the Rafale program, as well as the training in France of the first Indian aviators.
Moreover, pending the delivery of the first aircraft is expected to start from 2019 and
the start of development work by the Indian Air Force on its air bases, details continue to be data standards such Rafale .
Indeed, and according to our information, the Indian Rafale single-seaters will bear the denomination Rafale EH, while the two-seater version will be called Rafale DH.
As for Egypt and Qatar, the letter "D" is a reference to Double (or Dual), since it is here the two-seater Rafales.
The letter "H", common to both versions, comes from the word "Hindustan". The etymology of the word "Hindustan" finds its source in the Iranian language, the Persian.
Wikipedia explains that "the term" Hindustan "is derived from the Persian Hindū. In old Persian, the area beyond the banks of the Indus was known as the Hinduš, which became Hind or Hindū in modern Persian. It is combined with the Persian suffix -stān (literally "place") to give Hindustan: "the land of Hindū".
In the first century BC, the term "Hein-tu" was commonly used by the Chinese to refer to people from northern India. The term became commonly used under the Mughal empire, which designated its dominion, centered on Delhi and the Punjab, as the Hindustan.
Finally, the letter "E" for the single-seaters is still at this stage an interrogation, but it will not be long.
