Indian Air Force conducted Exercise Vayu Shakti-24

The Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted Exercise ‘Vayu Shakti-24’ near Jaisalmer in Indian State of Rajasthan. 

The event began with three Chetak helicopters trooping the National Flag and the Air Force ensign, flying past the grandstand with the National Anthem playing in the background. This was followed by a perfectly timed ‘Sonic Boom’ created by a Rafale aircraft. In keeping with this year’s theme of the Exercise, ‘Lightning Strike from the Sky’, over 120 aircraft displayed the IAF’s offensive capabilities.
