An IAF contingent comprising MiG-29, Jaguar, and C-17 aircraft will take part in the exercise. The aim of the exercise is to enhance interoperability between the two air forces and to strengthen strategic cooperation and operational readiness.

Exercise Eastern Bridge VII will involve a series of joint training missions, including complex aerial maneuvering, air-to-air and air-to-ground operations, and logistical coordination. The exercise will provide an opportunity for both air forces to improve their tactical and operational skills and to foster mutual understanding.

The exercise underscores the enduring partnership between the IAF and the ROAF and their commitment to regional security and stability. The participating teams are expected to benefit from the shared expertise and operational experience gained during this extensive training period.
