Air Force Drills Near NE Border With China

The Indian air force has deployed nearly all of its front-line fighters in northeastern India to a major exercise near the border with China, reports the Press Trust of India.

The two-day exercise began on Thursday to evaluate the combat readiness of its aircraft, reported Asian News International (New Delhi).

The drill were planned long before a recent confrontation with Chinese forces near the Tawang sector of their disputed border.

The exercise also comes as France has delivered the 36th and last Rafale fighter ordered by India.
