Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has posted a video on his Twitter feed capturing the moment when one of the Rafale fighter jets from France lands at Ambala Airbase in Haryana, India.

In the video, the aircraft is seen successfully touching down on the airstrip.

Earlier in the day, the minister announced that five Rafale jets had landed safely at the air base, which, according to him, marks "the beginning of a new era" in India's military history.
