Rafale jets of India and France have been collectively finishing up aerial drills as a part of a multinational air train on the French airbase of Mont-de-Marsan, officers stated on Tuesday. Shivangi Singh, the Indian Air Force‘s first lady Rafale pilot, is a part of the Indian crew that’s collaborating within the Exercise Orion, they stated. In January, Squadron Leader Avani Chaturvedi scripted historical past by turning into the primary IAF lady fighter pilot to participate in an aerial wargame overseas.

Chaturvedi, a Su-30MKI pilot, was a part of the IAF’s contingent that participated within the 16-day mega air fight train with Japan Air Self Defence Force (JASDF) on the Japanese airbase of Hyakuri from January 12 to 26.

India deployed 4 Rafale jets, two C-17 plane and two IL-78 mid-air refuellers for the three-week multinational train in France that started on April 17.

It was the primary abroad train for the Indian Air Force’s Rafale jets.

Besides the IAF and the French Air and Space Force (FASF), the train is being participated by air forces from a number of different nations together with Germany, Greece, Italy and Spain.
