The exercise follows the IAF’s two strategic missions over the Indian Ocean region that involved Rafale and Su-30MKI jets.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has carried out a joint exercise with the Indian Army in the central sector with deployment of multiple combat assets to check the operational readiness of the two forces.
The exercise follows the IAF’s two strategic missions over the Indian Ocean region that involved Rafale and Su-30MKI jets.
“The #IAF recently concluded a joint exercise with the Indian Army in the central sector. Multiple combat assets were employed to simulate realistic combat situations for all participants,” the IAF tweeted on Sunday.
It, however, did not divulge the details such as the date and venue of the operations.
A few days back, a fleet of Su-30MKI jets of the IAF carried out a strategic mission over the Indian Ocean region for eight hours, days after a similar operation was carried out by four Rafale aircraft.
The Su-30MKI jets flew over the south-western region of the Indian Ocean on Thursday demonstrating their operational prowess and capability to carry out long-range missions.
The six-hour mission involving the Rafale fighter aircraft last month covered the eastern region of the Indian Ocean.
