The drill, Exercise Eastern Bridge V, is being held at the Air Force Base Masirah in Oman from October 17-26.

The Royal Air Force Oman will fly its UK-made advanced trainer aircraft Hawk too during the 10-day air exercise. India's military transport aircraft C-17 Globemaster will also participate in the air exercise.

"IAF's Mig-29 Upgrade (UPG) will participate in the exercise along with C-17 Globemaster, which is providing the requisite transport support for induction/de-induction," tweeted the IAF.
