Mastering the Skies: 'Vayu Shakti' Preps for Air Combat Excellence

The Indian Air Force has commenced full-dress rehearsals for the 'Vayu Shakti' exercise at the Pokharan range in Western Rajasthan. A day-dusk-night event in the vast Thar desert sets the stage for the main air power demonstration scheduled for February 27.

Fighter jets, transport aircraft, and helicopters operate in tandem, executing coordinated strikes and integrated maneuvers to simulate near-realistic combat scenarios. This rigorous exercise is designed to test and validate the IAF's operational tactics, precision strike capabilities, and rapid response strategies.

With 'Vayu Shakti', the Indian Air Force aims to highlight its readiness and capability to perform multi-domain operations, underscoring its strategic role in national defense.
