NEW DELHI (PTI): The Indian Air Force is participating in a month-long tactical leadership programme in Egypt with three Su-30MKI jets and two C-17 transport aircraft.

The exercise provides a unique opportunity to showcase the reach and capability of the IAF against the backdrop of current geopolitical scenario, it said in a statement.

"Indian Air Force would be participating in a tactical leadership programme at Egyptian Air Force Weapon School from Jun 24 to Jul 24 in Egypt (Cairo west Airbase) with three Su-30MKI aircraft, two C-17 aircraft and 57 IAF personnel," the IAF said.
