Vayu Shakti 2026: IAF Showcases Firepower, Prez Flies ‘Prachand’

Описание: The Indian Air Force conducted its mega live-fire exercise Vayu Shakti 2026 at the Pokhran firing range in Rajasthan — a powerful display of combat capability and operational readiness.

The high-intensity drill featured precision strikes, coordinated air operations, and elements reminiscent of Operation Sindoor, offering glimpses of the IAF’s real-world combat preparedness.

The objective: demonstrate air dominance, showcase war readiness, and inspire the youth to join the force.

President Droupadi Murmu attended the event and undertook a sortie in the indigenous HAL Prachand Light Combat Helicopter during her visit to Jaisalmer. The mission was executed in a two-helicopter formation.

Manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Prachand is India’s first indigenously designed and developed combat helicopter. It is built to operate across diverse terrains — from scorching deserts to high-altitude battle zones.

From precision bombing to aerial manoeuvres, Vayu Shakti 2026 sent a clear message: the Indian Air Force stands combat-ready.

Watch the full report from Pokhran.
