Rafale Fighter Jet: 8 Rafale fighter jets of the Indian Air Force are arriving in Greece while returning from an important Red Flag exercise with the US Air Force in Alaska. During the long journey, the Indian Air Force has chosen Greece as its stopover. On this occasion, the air forces of India and Greece will conduct joint military exercises together. In such a situation, the question arises that why did India choose Greece to accommodate its Rafale fighter jets and for military exercises?
According to the Money Control report, Greece is an important strategic ally for India. Apart from this, Greece already has Rafale fighter jets. In such a situation, India also gives importance to Greece in the diplomacy of the Mediterranean Sea. However, both Turkey and Pakistan are going to be unhappy with this joint exercise, because Greece has enmity with Turkey which is an ally of Pakistan. Whereas, the enmity of Pakistan and Turkey with India is well known.
Know why India chose Greece?
The Indian Air Force has been conducting frequent exercises with the Greek Air Force. Recently, Greece’s military chief General Dimitrios Hupis visited India. During this time, diplomacy and military relations were sealed, the results of which have now come to the fore. It is being told that F-16 Block 52+ fighter jets will reach India to participate in the multinational exercise ‘Tarang Shakti 24’ in August. This is the biggest exercise of the Indian Air Force, in which 52 countries including America, France, Italy and Germany are expected to participate.
Greece Air Force gives a befitting reply to Turkey-Pak
For this exercise of the Indian Air Force, the F-16 of the Greek Air Force will have to reach Jodhpur Airbase. Which is very close to the Pakistani border. Let us tell you that last year the Greek Air Force had organized an exercise in which the Sukhoi fighter planes of the Indian Air Force had shown excellent performance. Meanwhile, the growing friendship between India and Greece is giving a big shock to the neighboring country Pakistan.
