Pahalgam Attack Fallout: After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, tensions between India and Pakistan are skyrocketing. India has warned Pakistan in a strict tone about terrorism and has taken rigorous steps. On the other hand, the atmosphere is also hot on the border.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Modi said in strong words that whatever is left of terrorism will be destroyed. Given the possibility of a significant action from India, the Pakistani army has also increased the number of its soldiers on the border. Amidst all this, on Thursday, the Indian Air Force started a war exercise named ‘Aakram’.
Aakram’s exercise of the Air Force: Preparation to give a befitting reply to the enemy
According to information received from sources, the Indian Air Force is conducting complex ground attacks in various types of terrain, including plains and mountainous regions. Modern fighter aircraft, such as the Rafale, play a key role in this exercise. If reports are to be believed, the Air Force Headquarters is keeping a close watch on this entire exercise. The best pilot trainers of the Indian Air Force are participating in this exercise and sharing their expertise.
Regarding the ‘Akram’ exercise, a defence source stated, “Fighter aircraft equipped with state-of-the-art technology are conducting challenging missions related to ground attack and electronic warfare.” He also noted that many aircraft of the Indian Air Force have been brought here from various airbases, including those in the eastern region. Let us tell you that the Indian Air Force is more powerful than the air forces of any country in South Asia. India also possesses air-to-air missiles, such as Meteo, and long-range, high-speed missiles, including Rampage and Rocks.
Rafale: New chapter in India’s air power
It is worth noting that after the terrorist attack in Pulwama in February 2019, the Indian Air Force gave a befitting reply to the terrorists by carrying out an airstrike. Mirage 2000 fighter planes were used in that airstrike. Since then, India has also incorporated powerful fighter planes, such as the Rafale, into its Air Force. Apart from this, India also has modern air defence systems, such as the S-400, which can prove extremely dangerous for enemies.
