RAF Brize Norton
Exercise INDRADHANUSH 2015
On the 31st July 2015 Exercise INDRADHANUSH came to an end at RAF Brize Norton and RAF Coningsby.
During the two week exercise four Sukhoi Su-30MKI Flanker fighters from Number 2 Squadron Indian Air Force deployed from Northeast India to RAF Coningsby to train with Typhoon FGR4 equipped Number 3(Fighter) Squadron.
The exercise provides a rare opportunity for RAF pilots to test themselves against the fourth generation Russian built fighter.
Accompanying the Sukhoi Su-30 fighters was an Ilyushin Il78 tanker, a Boeing C-17 Globemaster and a Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules aircraftm which operated from RAF Brize Norton.
The image shows Number 78 Squadron Indian Air Force (operating the IL78) planning their sortie with Number 101 Squadron RAF aircrew, who flew on the Indian Air Force aircraft.
