This was the first time ever that the IAF was participating in Ex Red Flag with a mixed fleet of fighters (Su-30 MKI and Jaguar) along with IL-78 and C-17 aircraft. It was entirely due to his meticulous planning, foresight and leadership that the exercise was conducted smoothly, without any short comings whatsoever.
