Large IAF contingent leaves Sunday for first ever air exercise over British airspace

A 200-member Indian Air Force (IAF) contingent, equipped with six Sukhoi-30MKI combat jets and a Il-78 mid-air refueller, will leave for the United Kingdom on Sunday, June 24 to participate in a bilateral exercise with the Royal Air force.

Codenamed Indradhanush-07, this is a follow-on exercise to the one held by both the forces last year in Gwalior, and is due to take place from July 2-12 at RAF Waddington. Indradhanush-07 will also be the first ever joint air exercise in British airspace between the two air forces, and is aimed at enhancing bilateral defence cooperation.
