Face of Nation : The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Sunday shared a video clip showing refuelling of Su-30MKI fighter aircraft midair by IL-78 FRA aircraft.
The exercise was a part of the India-France “Garuda” exercise being held at the Air Force Base Mont-De-Marsan in France from July 1 to July 14.
“Air-to-Air refueling is not an easy task. Pilots need to get their speeds right, get in correct formation and synchronise with the refueler,” Group Captain Antil said.
Earlier on Friday, the IAF said the objective of Indo-France joint exercise is to enhance interoperability and cooperation between the two Air Forces.
