An Indian Air Force contingent has landed in Mont-de-Marsan in France to participate in a bilateral exercise 'Garuda-VI' with the French Air Force.
The IAF contingent was received by Colonel Gaudillere, Base Commander, Air Base Mont-De-Marsan.
The IAF will be participating in a bilateral exercise with the French Air Force from July 1 to 12.
This is the sixth edition of Exercise Garuda, the last being held at Air Force Station Jodhpur in June 2014.
A total of 120 air warriors along with four Su-30 MKI, IL-78 flight refuelling aircraft will participate in the exercise.
The logistic support to the contingent during the induction and de-induction phase would be provided by C-17 aircraft.
This is one of the biggest air exercises between the two air forces.
The IAF Su-30 MKI will be operating in a simulated operational warfighting scenario along with the French Air Force's multirole Rafale aircraft.
This will enhance understanding of inter-operability during mutual operations between the two air forces and provide an opportunity to learn from each other's best practices. IANS
