The three-week exercise is a biennial, multi-national exercise hosted by the Royal Australian Air Force.

On Thursday, the IAF released images of its Sukhoi-30MKI fighter jets being refuelled midair by a French Air Force plane.

The IAF contingent, led by Group Captain YPS Negi, comprises over 100 air warriors deployed with four Sukhoi-30MKI fighter.

They will undertake multi-domain air combat missions in a complex environment and will exchange best practices with participants.

It features a range of realistic, simulated threats which can be found in a modern battle-space environment.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
