IAF Northeast Wargames Along China Border Showcase Joint Ops With Army

The wargames were carried out by the Eastern Air Command (EAC) codenamed 'Poorvi Akash' from October 30 to November 4.

The major aerial exercise 'Poorvi Akash' held across the northeastern states along the China border by the Indian Air Force included joint operations with the Army and involved high-tech lethal weapons such as the 'Sudarshan' S-400 air defence missile systems.

'Sudarshan' chakra is the main weapon of Bhagwan Shri Krishna. The Indian Air Force led by Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari has named the S-400 air defence missile systems imported from Russia after the Sudarshan chakra as Sudarshan.

"The Indian Air Force exercise had operations by major platforms including the S-400 air defence missile systems, the Rafale and Tejas fighter jets along with the Prachand light combat helicopters in the northeastern region," defence officials told ANI.
