IAF Takes Part in US-led Red Flag-Alaska for Multi-nation Military Drills
The Indian Air Force joined a 16-day multi-nation mega military exercise in Alaska in the US that is designed to provide realistic training to participating forces in a simulated combat environment.
The IAF deployed Rafale fighter jets for the `Red Flag' exercise in Alaska in the US from May 30 to June 14. Approximately 3100 service members are expected to fly, maintain and support more than 100 aircraft during the exercise.
The `Red Flag' exercise is designed to provide realistic training in a simulated combat environment enabling joint combined forces to exchange tactics, techniques and procedures while improving interoperability with fellow service members.
