The Indian Air Force (IAF) has finished Exercise Eastern Bridge VII with the Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO) at the Masirah airbase in Oman. After completing various training missions, the IAF team, which included MiG-29 and Jaguar aircraft, has returned to India. RAFO participated with F-16 and Hawk jets. The exercise helped strengthen ties with Oman and improved teamwork and skills between the two air forces.
The main goal of the exercise was to boost military cooperation and improve how both forces work together. The training included complex air operations and air-to-air combat drills to enhance their strategic and tactical abilities. The IAF also learned valuable tactics from RAFO, improving their combat strategies.
In addition to the training, Eastern Bridge VII helped build strong friendships and mutual respect between the IAF and RAFO members. Joint briefings and cultural exchanges further improved understanding and cooperation.
The successful completion of this exercise shows the commitment of both India and Oman to keeping peace and security in the region. Both air forces showed they are ready to work together in different scenarios, improving their ability to handle future security challenges.
The IAF and RAFO look forward to continuing these joint exercises and aiming for even more advanced collaborations in the future.
