The Indian Air Force (IAF) has successfully completed Exercise Eastern Bridge VII with the Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO) at the RAFO airbase in Masirah.

The IAF contingent has returned to India after participating in a comprehensive series of training missions, which featured the participation of MiG-29 and Jaguar aircraft from IAF, F-16 and Hawk from RAFO.

The exercise significantly enhanced strategic relations with OMAN besides operational coordination and tactical skills between the two air forces.

Exercise Eastern Bridge VII was aimed to strengthen military cooperation and enhance the interoperability of both forces.

The exercise included complex air operations, air-to-air combat drills, and mission scenarios designed to improve strategic and tactical capabilities.

The IAF contingent gained valuable insights into RAFO tactics and operational philosophies, enriching combat strategies.

Beyond the tactical exercises, Eastern Bridge VII fostered camaraderie and mutual respect between the IAF and RAFO personnel.

Joint briefings, debriefings, and cultural exchanges helped build professional bonds, enhancing mutual understanding and cooperation.

The successful completion of Exercise underscores the commitment of India and Oman towards maintaining regional peace and security. Both forces demonstrated their capability to operate jointly in diverse scenarios, enhancing their preparedness to face emerging security challenges.

The IAF and RAFO look forward to continuing this tradition of joint exercises, aiming for more advanced collaborations in the future.
