Indian Air Force: The Indian Air Force has once again prepared for an important air force exercise near the Pakistan border today, 4 June 2025, to demonstrate its strategic strength and combat capabilities. NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) has been issued for this exercise, which is an indication that the regional airspace has been temporarily closed to general air traffic. This decision has been taken in view of the seriousness of security and training.
Where is the exercise taking place?This exercise is taking place in the area adjacent to the Arabian Sea near Rajkot, Gujarat, which is just 100 km from the Pakistan border. This geographical position makes this area extremely sensitive and important from a strategic point of view. Being close to the Arabian Sea, this area is suitable for monitoring any potential maritime or air threat.
Exercise time- Start (UTC): 4 June 2025, 3:30 pm
- End (UTC): 4 June 2025, 9:00 pm
During this, the Indian Air Force will test the war preparedness and response time with the help of various types of warplanes and equipment.
Which aircraft will participate?This exercise includes state-of-the-art fighter jets like Rafale, Sukhoi-30 and Jaguar, which are considered symbols of the strength of the Air Force. These aircraft are adept at long-range attack, air defense and multirole missions, which are capable of ensuring India's security in any emergency.
Why is this exercise important?This exercise is not just to show strength, but is a proof of India's strategic vigilance and response preparedness. After the recent 'Operation Sindoor', this exercise gives a clear message that India is fully alert and capable of protecting its borders.
What is NOTAM?NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) is an official alert that informs pilots, air traffic control and other flight operations personnel about potential threats, regional restrictions or any temporary changes. Its purpose is to ensure the safety and coordination of flights.
Where was the exercise held before?In May 2025, the Indian Air Force also conducted a similar exercise near the international border of Rajasthan. Major fighter aircraft like Rafale, Mirage-2000 and Sukhoi-30 participated in this exercise held on 7 and 8 May. This exercise was part of India's regular operational training, which strengthens regional security and combat preparedness.
