| Post Op Sindoor preparations: IAF to conduct aerial combat drills near Pak border | | | SANJAY PANDITA
Early Times Report
Jammu, July 21: The Indian Air Force (IAF) has formally reserved a section of airspace near the southern region of the Pakistan border for a high-intensity military exercise scheduled from July 23 to 25. The move is part of India’s continued efforts to bolster its defense readiness and sharpen the operational capabilities of its air forces in strategically vital areas.
The designated airspace, located close to the international border, will serve as the venue for an integrated IAF drill focused on surveillance, rapid response, and advanced operational training. While the exercise is officially described as routine, its location near a sensitive frontier reflects the IAF’s intent to maintain heightened vigilance and preparedness.
Although specific operational details remain classified, defense sources indicate that the exercise will include coordinated aerial maneuvers, simulated combat scenarios, and the testing of cutting-edge aviation technologies and systems. The IAF is expected to demonstrate its ability to conduct complex operations under realistic, high-pressure environments.
To ensure the safety of civilian aircraft, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued an advisory for rerouting commercial flights during the three-day exercise. Airlines operating in the vicinity have been informed to adjust their flight paths accordingly. No significant disruptions to civil aviation are anticipated, as such temporary airspace closures are standard practice during military operations.
This exercise comes amid a backdrop of elevated regional security concerns and follows a series of recent drills aimed at enhancing India’s deterrence posture. The proximity to the Pakistan border further underlines the strategic significance of the operation.
The IAF’s continued emphasis on modern, multi-dimensional training reflects a broader national strategy to adapt to evolving security challenges. As the exercise unfolds, it will serve as both a demonstration of India’s aerial capabilities and a reaffirmation of its commitment to national defense and regional stability. |
