Garud commandos of the Indian Air Force recently participated in the Blue Flag exercise in Israel and trained alongside Unit 669 of the Israeli Air Force.
The motto of Garud Commando Force - ‘Defence by Offence’ - matches closely with the task assigned to Israel’s special force Unit 669. The members of this elite unit undergo the longest training phase of any unit in the Israeli Defence Force (IDF), lasting 22 months, and training has a heavy emphasis on navigation.
The IDF on Thursday posted a video of the exercise on Twitter.
In a rare move, while other participating nations sent fighter aircraft, the IAF decided to send C-130J Super Hercules special operations aircraft.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
