IAF's Iron Fist

The biggest air power demonstration ‘Iron Fist’ in the history of IAF will begin in Chandhan area at Pokhran field firing range in Jaisalmer from February 15. The nine-day exercise will see fighters and helicopters firing missiles and dropping bombs at dummy targets.
The air force has written a letter to the district administration requesting to bound villagers living adjoining to the firing range not to do farming activities and not graze cattle between February 15 and 23 so that the exercise does not cause any damage to live and property. As President Pranab Mukherjee will also arrive to witness the exercise, the district administration has started the preparations.
The Indian Air Force for first time ever will practice day and night and display its full combat power capability during “Iron Fist”, its biggest firepower demonstration at the Pokhran firing ranges in Jaisalmer. The new air strip in Pokhran range is operationally ready for this mega event. All preparations for the event have been completed. Nearly about 100 fighter planes and helicopters will take part in that mega event.
