The IAF is expected to deploy its six single-seat Darin-I Jaguars as part of the exercise, while RAFO will deploy its Jaguars and F-16s.
The IAF will also involve two IL-78 MKI air-to-air refueller aircraft for tanking the Jaguars enroute to Oman during the session.
The joint exercise aims to enhance understanding of operational, maintenance and administrative procedures between the two nations’ air forces.
