April 13, 2023

France is hosting the multinational wargame codenamed Orion, which is expected to be held from the third week of April to May 5. This exercise will involve various countries, including India, and will test their combat capabilities in a simulated war scenario.
The aim of the exercise is to test the preparedness of the participating countries’ air forces and their ability to operate in a multi-national environment.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) will participate in Orion with its Rafale fighter jets from the Western Air Command’s Golden Arrows squadron.
Some 7,000 NATO troops have reportedly participated in the drill involving the land forces of their NATO allies.
