What happened to our faithful dog Il-76?

Too large and unable to land in any foreward airbase. But it is being used to para-drop supplies and take supplies to supply larger/rear bases before be taken my ALHs/Mi-17s the "last mile".

Can you provide the source? AFAIK the IAF's C-17s have not been deployed in this effort. The first Indian C-17 only arrived in India last year and those pics are of the IAF's first C-17 touching down in their home base HINDON in Delhi.

If we ordered chinook bit earlier then it would be very useful in such condition.
