Exercise Tarang Shakti 2024 is the Indian Air Force's (IAF) largest-ever multilateral air exercise, marking India's first multilateral air drill in six decades. This exercise, involving around 150 aircraft and participants from nearly 30 countries, serves to strengthen military partnerships and demonstrate air power on a global scale. It is part of India's growing focus on defense cooperation and highlights the country's evolving defense industry

Key points about the exercise include:

  • Two phases:
  • The first phase, hosted in Sulur, Tamil Nadu, featured air forces from 10 countries, including France, Spain, and Germany.
  • The second phase, scheduled for September, includes participants from the US, Australia, Greece, Singapore, Bangladesh, and the UAE.

The exercise's timing, aligned with India's Independence Day, emphasizes its importance in boosting military cooperation and showcasing the country's defense capabilities. Despite its large scale, Tarang Shakti 2024 does not have a specific theme or target any particular nation. It is a biennial event intended to promote interoperability and mutual trust among participating countries.
