The Indian Air Force (IAF) has launched three C-17 transport aircraft to Romania, Hungary and Poland on Wednesday morning, Air Marshal Sandeep Singh, Vice-Chief of the Air Force, said. A fourth C-17 was sent later in the day. The C-17 was sent as it can fly non-stop to these countries.
“Since early morning three C-17 have been launched. This is being undertaken with full coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs. The operations will go round the clock. We are also sending some supplies from here,” Air Marshal Singh said, speaking to the media at a briefing on upcoming fire power demonstration ‘Ex Vayu Shakti’ on March 07. “I am sure we will bring all of our people back safely.”
