An Indian Air Force (IAF) contingent has arrived at Mont-de-Marsan Air Base, France to participate in the bilateral air exercise Garuda-2025, scheduled from 16 to 27 November. The exercise reflects the strong strategic partnership between India and France in defence and security.
It will involve IAF’s Su-30 MKI aircraft operating with French Rafale fighters in a simulated combat environment, aimed at enhancing interoperability, sharing best practices, and strengthening defence cooperation between the two air forces.
