Four Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter jets and two C-17 heavy-lift aircraft of the Indian Air Force on Friday joined a 17-nation air combat exercise in Australia.
The three-week long exercise 'Pitch Black' is being hosted by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
Earlier, the exercise was scheduled to conduct in 2018 but the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled all the plans and after a hiatus of four-year it is re-scheduled in this year.
Germany, Japan, and the Republic of Korea will be participating fully for the first time.
Exercise Pitch Black has been run from August 19 - September 8, 2022.
