Indian Rafale jets in Alaska for ‘Red Flag’ combat exercise
Thursday, 30 May 2024 Eight Indian Rafale fighter jets, accompanied by two IL-78 air-to-air refuelers and three C-17 Globemaster III strategic airlift aircraft, will participate in the prestigious multi-nation 'Red Flag' exercise in Alaska, USA. The IAF aircraft completed a transatlantic journey, making staging stops in Greece and Portugal, before arriving at Eielson USAF Base in Alaska on Thursday.
Authorities have successfully recovered the bodies of all 10 victims from the tragic Alaska Bering plane crash, marking a crucial step in the ongoing rescue and investigation efforts. The aircraft, which went down in the remote Bering Sea, is now the focus of recovery operations as officials work to determine the cause of the accident.
Search teams faced challenging conditions, but their efforts have ensured that all passengers and crew members have been accounted for. Investigators are now shifting their attention to retrieving the wreckage, which could provide critical clues about what led to the crash.

From Rafale to F-35: In a landmark defense proposal, former U.S. President Donald Trump has offered India the cutting-edge F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet, potentially transforming the country’s air combat capabilities. The F-35, hailed as the world's most advanced fifth-generation fighter, boasts unparalleled stealth, superior electronic warfare systems, and unmatched situational awareness.
If India accepts the deal, it would mark a significant shift in its defense strategy, moving beyond the Rafale jets toward a future dominated by American military technology. However, the decision comes with major geopolitical and economic considerations, including India’s long-standing defense ties with Russia, the high costs of acquisition and maintenance, and the need for advanced infrastructure to operate these jets effectively.
