An important training 'Iron Fist' will not be organized in the IAF operations due to the growing dispute with China in Ladakh this year. This biggest exercise of the Air Force is organized every three years to showcase India's strength in the sky and this year also the event was to be held at Pokhran in Rajasthan this month, but it has been removed from this year's training ceremony.
The same decision has been taken to save the flying hours and protect the aircraft due to the continuous deployment of the IAF in eastern Ladakh. Iron Fist is an important exercise to show the valor of Indian air, which tells us how capable our Air Force is at present or how much its strength has increased. But this year, these exercises are not being conducted because this year has been very busy in Ladakh for the IAF, where Air Force personnel and aircraft were on alert for several months.
The event is organized every three years by the IAF in which the Air Force demonstrates firepower to the world. The fighter aircraft rehearse the war. The first edition of Iron Fist was held in the year 2013. It was held in 2016, the third year after the 'Iron Fist' held in February 2013. In this day-night exercise, 103 fighter jets out of 181 of the Air Force were participated, where the capacity of more than 30 weapon systems was tried along with the fighter aircraft.
