Four Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter planes and two C-17 Globemaster strategic heavy lifters from the Indian Air Force participated successfully in ‘Exercise Pitch Black’ at Darwin, Australia, and then flew back home.
The three-week exercise, which the Royal Australian Air Force hosted, had participation from air forces from 17 different countries and 2500 troops. The participating forces engaged in a variety of multi-aircraft combat simulations both during the day and at night that simulated intricate aerial situations involving massive formations.
The activity gave the participants a chance to exchange ideas and stories about their experiences. The gathering saw a cooperative spirit that has improved mutual understanding of one another’s capabilities and a sense of camaraderie that will result in long-lasting links between the participating nations.
