The Indian Air Force (IAF) and the French Air and Space Force continued to demonstrate seamless interoperability and mission excellence as Exercise Garuda 25 progressed with a high operational tempo.
Aircrew from both nations executed a range of complex mission profiles—including air combat drills, multi-aircraft engagements, strike missions, and joint operational manoeuvres—showcasing advanced flying skills, tactical coordination, and real-time decision-making.
The ongoing drills highlight the growing synergy between the two air forces, enhancing joint preparedness, air domain awareness, and the ability to operate cohesively in contested environments.
Officials noted that the exercise is strengthening mutual learning, boosting tactical interoperability, and reinforcing strategic cooperation between India and France in the aerospace domain.
Exercise Garuda 25 remains a key platform for deepening bilateral defence ties while sharpening the operational readiness of participating aircrew for future combined missions and multinational engagements.
