Tarang Shakti is a fine example of how India’s Soviet-era Air Force has now modernised to a world-class infrastructure, now capable of holding war games with the F-18s and F-16s.
IAF will conduct Tarang Shakti in two phases in August & September in Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan. Indian Navy will also participate in first phase with MiG-29 aircraft.
HAL has informed IAF that the first aircraft will only be delivered by November. A total of 16 Tejas Mk 1A were to be delivered by the state-run company but none have come in so far.
Air Marshal A.P. Singh's remarks came in the backdrop of severe crunch in IAF's fighter fleet and delay in the delivery schedule of indigenous Tejas aircraft.
IAF aircraft that will participate in exercise from 12 July to 2 August include the Su-30 MKI multirole fighters, the C-17 Globemaster and the IL-78 Air-to-Air refuelling aircraft.
Facility will initially look at MRO-related work for the 36 IAF Rafale fighter jets, and the 26 Rafale Marine under discussion, besides those of Indonesia.

It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
