It's also sad that no AWACS seems to be present, especially to evaluate Rafales strenghts to do deep strikes and avoid detection. The 2000l fuel tank config, suggest that propper strikes situations will be simulated, especially since Rafale usually only uses supersonic fuel tanks in exercises.

I had read IAF Phalcons were to be used in this exercise. Maybe they will be operating from another airbase and flying to the airspace when needed, I didn't see any Il-78MKIs or KC-135s either but they are to be used in this EX too. Perhaps AARs and AWACS are based somewhere else?

Well the new CC systems in our ships are called mecca and medina,and hind gunships are called akbar too.

The Artillery Regiment's motto captures the essence of the army in 3 beautiful and concise words: Sarvatra Izzat-O-Iqbal

It's a mythological bird who is the carrier(Vahana) of Lord Vishnu,one of the three trinities of Sanatan Dharma.Garuda is also known as the "Slayer of Snakes" in Hindu mythology

Garuda is eagle and eagle is not mythological.

Its true that garuda is also said to be vahan of Vishnu.

 

[Tshering22]

The Garuda is the hindu mythical golden eagle

also The National emblem of Indonesia and Thailand, is the only two country in world who share same garuda as National emblem

Also Mongolian capital Ulan Bataar's patron deity is Garuda.

The reports said that the Rafales arrived with a KC 135 tanker and that an IL78 of IAF is part of the exercise too.

Don't know, too early to tell I would say.
