India’s Air Force has announced large-scale air exercises near the Pakistan border, with activities scheduled from January 20 to January 21, resulting in restricted airspace for international commercial flights in the Kutch region of Gujarat. The drills will involve frontline aircraft, including Rafale jets and Sukhoi-30 MKIs, and are expected to feature high-speed sorties and aerial combat maneuvers. While Indian officials maintain that these exercises are routine and aimed at enhancing operational readiness, Pakistani defense analysts view them as provocative, heightening tensions in a sensitive regional security environment. This development underscores the ongoing challenges in maintaining peace and stability along the India-Pakistan border.
