Good. I just hope that the IAF exposes other fighter types and their crew to exercises as well. Mostly it's the Su-30MKI and it's crews that go for international exercises outside India. Would be good to validate tactics that the Egyptians have evolved for their Rafale and MiG-29SMT fleets.

IAF and Japan's JASDF to exercise together this year. IAF will send Su-30MKIs to Japan for the exercise. IAF Su-30s to dogfight Japanese fighters later this year

Big news! Indian MoD and Airbus have signed the contract for 56 C-295 MW transports Link 16 to be built entirely in Spain, the remaining 40 to be built in India by a Tata-Airbus JV. The first time that a private sector company will build an airplane to supply to the IAF. Historic.
