The Indian Air Force (IAF) received a significant boost with the addition of these fighter 🐟jets in their a💞rsenal.
Section 144 was implemented in Ambala and t🎀he vicinity of the airbase for security reasons, prior to the landing of the jets. The district administration prohibited photography during the time of arrival.
The jets were also refuꦡelled mid-air and made their first stopover in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), before completing their journey to India.
