NEW DELHI: India concluded a massive two-day air combat drill along its southern border with Pakistan, according to multiple Indian news outlets.
The exercise took place nearly a month after India launched its military campaign “Operation Sindoor” targeting Pakistan. Four days of fighting was marked by an extensive air battle, one of the largest dogfights since World War II, before the two nuclear rivals reached a ceasefire agreement following U.S. diplomatic efforts.
The Indian Air Force issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) earlier this week for a large-scale exercise scheduled for June 7 and 8, taking place in Rajasthan’s southern sector near the Pakistan border. Aircraft deployed included the Rafale, Mirage 2000, and Sukhoi-30, according to Indian outlets.
