The Government of India has issued a poll for air force exercise on 7 and 8 May near the southern border with Pakistan. Although detailed information about this exercise has not been released yet, there are clear indications through NOTAM that during this period the airspace will remain restricted in the concerned area. This reflects the preparations for military exercises by the Indian Air Force.
26 people lost their lives in Pahalgam attack
Notams are usually issued when the Air Force is practicing in a particular airspace and the weather is bad or obstacles. This time notam is a large -scale practice, which also shows the severity of current diplomatic tension with Pakistan. Let us tell you that this step has been taken at a time when there is a tense situation between India and Pakistan. Recently, a horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 people lost their lives, have created anger and concern across the country.
Last month, the Air Force and the Navy conducted the operation ‘Araksh’.
Earlier on April 25, the Indian Air Force and the Navy demonstrated their aggressive capabilities under the joint military exercise ‘Araksh’. Most modern fighter jets like Rafael and Sukhoi-30 MKI participated in this exercise. Studies of high intensity ground attacks were done in various geographical areas of the country, especially in mountainous regions. This entire practice took place under the supervision of the senior leadership of the Air Force. The pilots also performed long -range flying missions and accurate targets, usually seen in ‘deep firepower missions’. This practice gives a clear indication to India’s military preparations.
Civil Protection Force will be started in 33 states
The government is now planning to conduct civil security exercises across the country, which will be the first after the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War. The exercise will be conducted at 259 places in 33 states and union territories. Its purpose is to prepare common citizens to face potential war or emergency situations. This practice will provide technical information and practice to the general public to stay safe from bomb blasts, gas attacks, cyber attacks and other contingencies.
