'Tarang Shakti': IAF to conduct its biggest and first-ever multilateral exercise | Oneindia News

In a significant development for India’s military prowess and global alliances, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is gearing up to host its first-ever multilateral air force exercise later this year. The exercise, named `Tarang Shakti’, will witness the participation of twelve nations, with six nations joining with their aircraft and the remaining six as observers. While the Indian Army and Indian Navy have hosted multilateral exercises in the past, this will be a remarkable milestone for the Air Force. This major air exercise will mark a momentous occasion for the IAF and will underscores its growing importance in international military cooperation. Ahead of Tarang Shakti, the IAF is likely to participate in another exercise in Egypt. Tarang Shakti is set to be the largest multinational air exercise ever held in India. The exercise will feature a range of aircraft, including fighter jets, military transport aircraft, mid-air refuelers, and airborne warning and control system i.e AWACS aircrafts. The planning stage is currently underway, with the exercise expected to take place in October or November. While Tarang Shakti will be an extraordinary display of multinational cooperation on Indian soil, the IAF has previously participated in numerous multilateral exercises abroad.
