The 𓃲Indian Air ♕Force (IAF) received a significant boost with the addition of these fighter jets in their arsenal.
Section 144 was implemented in Ambala and the vicinity of the airbase for security reasons, prior to the landing𝓡 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 𝓡the United Arab Emirates (UAE), before completing their journey to India.
