Rafale, Su-30, Tejas roar Jodh skies in India-France wargames

Jodhpur: The roar of the fighter aircraft Rafale Sukhoi and Tejas can be heard once again in the sky. The Indian and French Air Force are learning new tricks of warfare by sharing their experiences with each other by flying in these aircraft in joint exercise “Garuda”. Indian pilots are showing their power in Rafale. A contingent of 220 French soldiers along with four Rafale fighter jets and a multi-role tanker transport is practicing with the Indian Air Force in Jodhpur. Earlier, both the Air Force had done joint exercises at Jodhpur Airbase in 2014 and the then Chief of Air Staff flew in Rafale aircraft for the first time. Only after that India’s deal to buy the Rafale could go ahead.

The last time in the joint exercise was a different experience for Indian airmen to learn to fly in Rafale fighter jets, but now Rafale has joined the Indian Air Force fleet. Because of this, Indian pilots are showing their stamina this time with Rafale, Sukhai Tejas and Jaguar and LCH. This joint exercise will continue till November 12 in Jodhpur. The first six exercises of the Garuda series have been conducted between the Air Force of both countries, three of them in India and three in France. During the exercise, the pilots of both the countries will share their experiences with each other
