The Indian Air Force (IAF) received a significant boost wit💧h the addition of these fighter jets in their arsenal.
Section 144 was impleme𝓀nted in Ambala and the vicinity of the airbase for security reasons, prior to the landing of the jets. The district administration prohibited photography during the time of arrival.
The jets were also refuelled mid-air and made their first stopover in the United Arab Emira🀅tes (UAE), before completing their journey to India.
