Answer: Exercise Aakraman
Notes: Following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted "Exercise Aakraman" (Attack). The exercise took place over a large area in the central sector and involved IAF’s mainstream fighter aircraft, led by Rafale combat jets. The IAF operates two Rafale squadrons based in Ambala and Hashimara, West Bengal. In a show of strength, fighter jets and transport aircraft were active through the night, flying close to the border areas. Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS)-equipped aircraft conducted intense surveillance of enemy movements.
