Indian Air Force C-17 heavy lifter in Yemen

[Pomegranate]

he he he he dear lady we are not late rather we are leading by example to the other countries in evacuating owr stranded citizen in any war zone across the world an we are miles ahead than your nation in this regard

"Late"? The Indian navy was evacuating Indian citizens while Pakistan was reviewing marching orders from Saudi to send your army.
Both India and Pak started evacuating their people on the 29th of march. Since then, we have evacuated far more that Pak has. This despite China evacuating many Pakistanis, because PN and PA are busy preparing for Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen.

India Sends Plane, Ships To Evacuate Citizens From Yemen

Pakistan sends plane, frigate to evacuate citizens from Yemen | Daily Mail Online

@Gabriel92 let's not forget the Indian Navy's contribution :


INS Sumitra:

INS Mumbai and INS Tarkash have also arrived in Yeman to assist in evacuation efforts

@Gabriel92 I think these pics are of C-17s in Djibouti not in Yemen. Indian government is not using military planes in Yemen. Instead India is using 2 Air India A-320 planes for creating air bridge between Yemen's capital Sana'a and Djibouti. 2 IAF C-17s & one Air India Boeing 777 are transporting Indians to Indian cities from Djibouti.

one is passenger plane and other is military transport plane. civilian passenger plan can accommodate more passangers. india is also using IA planes. the reason for using c-17 is because if any attack on the airport occurred the c-17 can takeoff in short runway. india is evacuating every on who came to airport or sea port. it is safer to use military planes than civilins planes as military planes have countermeasures in case of an attack on the transport planes.

c-17 has too less seats its even less then a regional aircraft liek A-320 or Boieng 737

c-17 can carry only
80 on 8 pallets, plus 54 passengers on sidewall seats

Air India has deployed their airliners too (A320s and 777) but military transporters like the C-17 are far more suited for these types of operations for obvious reasons.

pls, show some common sense. there is a lot difference b/w civilian plane and military transport plane. the capacity of boing
b-747 is 584 and it is not a regional aircraft. the capacity of c-17 is 138. both are designed by same company for different purpose.

Imagine the smell on that plane! Dozens of Indians never taken a shower in their life! Peeeoooooow!

Didn't know the IAF hired you to sniff around for unshowered Indians. Good Job, here's a bone for you running around sniffing poor, hungry Indians' armpits, directing them to poor, starving Indian air force Planes.

Bravo, dear brave wolf.

I think they are MARCOS...

Yes they are guarding INS Sumitra at aden port. It is common among navies to guard their ships by commandos in dangerous ports. Even chinese used their special forces to guard their ships during evacuation.
Conditions were dangerous in yemen like in a situation INS Sumitra has been unable to rescue any Indian nationals from Al Mukalla port, which has been overrun by Al Qaeda terrorists.
