Rafale, Sukhoi Synergy: India, France, UAE Air Drill Intensifies

The skies over the Arabian Sea, in close proximity to Pakistan’s Karachi, have become the training ground for a significant joint air exercise involving India, France, and the United Arab Emirates. This ambitious drill sees India’s robust Su-30MKI and Jaguar fighter jets operating alongside French and UAE Rafale and Mirage aircraft. The exercise, which commenced on Wednesday and continues through December 11, is designed to elevate the combat readiness and tactical proficiency of the participating air forces. With operations based in Gujarat, the integration of air refueling and airborne early warning systems emphasizes the scale and complexity of the training. This collaborative effort is a key component of a broader strategic initiative to foster deeper cooperation and ensure collective security in the region.
