The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) and the Indian Air Force (IAF) are conducting a Joint Military Training (JMT) at Kalaikunda Air Force Station, India, from 14 Oct to 9 Dec 2011.
The RSAF has deployed F16-D+ fighter aircraft, RBS-70 missile system fire units and PSTAR radar to join the IAF's MiG-27, MiG-21 and Hawk MK 132 fighter aircraft for this year's JMT. JMT 2011 is conducted under the Bilateral Agreement between both air forces. The Agreement which was signed in 2007 provides for the conduct of joint military training and exercises in India. The JMT is a valuable opportunity for the two air forces to interact and train together under realistic and challenging conditions. The training also helps to enhance interoperability and foster closer rapport and understanding amongst the personnel of both air forces.
The RSAF's participation in the JMT underscores the warm defence relationship with the IAF. Aside from training together, the two air forces also interact regularly through the exchange of visits, cross-attendance of courses and other professional exchange programmes.
