Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted joint aerial exercise with its Singaporean counterpart on November 14 at Kalaikunda Air Force station.

Taking part in the action were F-16D Block 52+ Fighting Falcons from Republic Singapore Air Force (RSAF) to train alongside IAF's MiG-21 and MiG-29 fighter jets.

The Joint Military Training (JMT) involves advanced air assets from both countries and includes high-end training missions such as Dissimilar Air Combat Training and Mission-Oriented Training. The exercise also underscores the warm defence relations shared between the IAF and the RSAF.

Welcoming the initiative, LTC Stanley Selva, the RSAF Detachment Commander for this year's edition of JMT said, "We value the opportunity to train alongside our counterparts from India regularly in this Joint Military Training. It allows us to be exposed to a range of aircraft platforms, and enables us to strengthen the close and long-standing relationship between the RSAF and the Indian Air Force.
