Indian Air Force Issues NOTAM For Exercise Along India-Pakistan Border On Wednesday

New Delhi: The Indian Air Force (IAF) will carry out an exercise along the Indo-Pakistan border over Gujarat on Wednesday, June 4. A NOTAM has been issued for tomorrow exercise between 3.30 pm - 9 pm.

The NOTAM for another air force exercise comes days after India's Operation Sindoor which was conducted to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack when 4-5 Pakistani terrorists shot dead 26 innocent civilians when they were vacationing in Kashmir.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) exercise will involve fighter jets including Rafale, Sukhoi-30, Jaguar Jets to enhance combat preparedness.

The IAF exercise will be observed days after the Indian Armed Forces struck hard inside Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. The Indian Armed Forces bombed several terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), neutralising over 100 terrorists and dismantling their terror infrastructure, on the intervening night of May 6 and 7.

Two days later when Pakistan instead of escalating down tensions with India, launched a swarm drone and missile attack, targeting Indian military and civilian establishments, near the Line of Actual Control (LoC) and International Border.

Teaching Pakistan a lesson that they will never be able to forget, India hit back and bombed critical airbases in Pakistan including Nur Khan in Rawalpindi.
