IAF continues Exercise Livewire

New Delhi, Nov 4 (IBNS) The IAF is in the midst of Exercise Livewire.

The exercise has been planned to validate the IAF’s operational philosophy as well as to assist the young generation of air warriors in honing their skills in a near-wartime scenario. Missions flown till date have placed emphasis on joint operations with the Indian Army and Navy.

Integrating service elements to provide a better understanding of interoperability forms an important part of training. In addition to air operations, ground defence is also being practised. 

Updation of security around frontline bases is an ongoing process and this too is being put to test during the exercise. This exercise would assist in enhancing operational capability of the IAF as a whole.


"Almost all types of existing air assets of the IAF are being exercised," read a government statement.
