World watches when India's best take flight
August 11, 2008
The 'Red Forces' will be represented by the F-15s and F-16s aircraft of the 64th and 65th 'Aggressor' squadrons of the USAF from Nellis.
The 'Blue Force' pilots would have all possible odds �thrown� at them to test their abilities and capabilities to tackle these threats.
"Availability of a large air-to-air range with threat replication contributes to the tremendous training value of the exercise. The replication of the air war would witness IAF's Su-30 aircraft participating in suppression of enemy air defence air-to-air and air-to-ground missions,� an IAF officer participating in the 'Red Flag' told PTI over phone from US.
