India will be part of a mega air combat exercise in Australia this month that is set to witness the participation of around 100 aircraft and 2,500 military personnel from 17 countries.
India’s participation in the exercise, “Pitch Black”, has been confirmed by the Australian government.
The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) considers “Pitch Black” as its “capstone” international engagement activity with the air forces of strategic partners and allies.
The exercise is scheduled to take place from August 19 to September 6.
