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.
The US military is finalizing its withdrawal from Air Base 101 in Niger, with a farewell ceremony for the last C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft scheduled soon. US Air Force Major General Kenneth Ekman shared that the morale among American troops is 'mixed' as they prepare to leave. The Nigerien government will take control of the base, and Russian instructors are already on-site to train Niger's military. What does this mean for US-Niger relations and the region's security? Watch the full update now.
