The Indian Air Force launched "Exercise Aakraman" on Thursday, a major combat drill in the central sector, simulating long-range strikes and precision bombing missions amid rising India-Pakistan tensions post-Pahalgam attack. Led by cutting-edge Rafale jets, the exercise involves high-intensity combat simulations across mountain and ground terrains. Key assets were repositioned from the eastern sector, and top IAF pilots are executing complex sorties, including electronic warfare. The drill aims to boost readiness for deep-strike operations. Senior leadership is closely monitoring the exercise, with similar training planned. This show of strength comes as regional hostilities escalate. (PC: India Today)
