मेन्स
GS3 Security / GS2 International Relations: Multinational air exercises like Tarang Shakti help the IAF build interoperability and showcase India as a trusted defence partner. Germany's participation with an A400M reflects deepening India-Germany defence ties and Indo-Pacific engagement. The way forward is regular, larger exercises paired with defence-industrial cooperation and logistics-sharing arrangements.
