Indian Air Force’s Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas will participate in the exercise along with fighter aircraft of the UK and other leading Air Forces.
The Exercise Cobra Warrior 22 is aimed at providing operational exposure and sharing best practices amongst the participating Air Forces, thereby enhancing their combat capabilities as well as forging bonds of friendship amongst them.
This will be a platform for LCA Tejas to demonstrate its maneuverability and operational capability.
