About Vayu Shakti 2026:
It is a major air combat exercise of the Indian Air Force (IAF).
It will be held Pokaran Field Firing Range in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer district and is expected to be the IAF’s largest air combat drill of the year.
Almost all frontline fighter aircraft and air defence systems that were part of Operation Sindoor will be deployed during the exercise.
These include Rafale, Su-30 MKI, Tejas, MiG-29, Jaguar, Mirage-2000 and Hawk aircraft, which will be seen engaging ground and aerial targets with precision.
The exercise will be conducted in a simulated wartime scenario and monitored through the IAF’s Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS), which enables real-time tracking and coordination of air operations.
