World watches when India's best take flight
August 11, 2008
The 'Red Forces' will be represented by the F-15s and F-16s aircraft of the 64th and 65th 'Aggressor' squadrons of the USAF from Nellis.
The 'Blue Force' pilots would have all possible odds ‘thrown’ at them to test their abilities and capabilities to tackle these threats.
"Availability of a large air-to-air range with threat replication contributes to the tremendous training value of the exercise. The replication of the air war would witness IAF's Su-30 aircraft participating in suppression of enemy air defence air-to-air and air-to-ground missions,” an IAF officer participating in the 'Red Flag' told PTI over phone from US.
