According to https://www.fosa.fr/meetingdelair/meeti ... agmXcaMv3s
Indian air Force Su30 will do a display (bottom of page). Guess there will be more SU30's somewhere in southern France for the exercise.

Can you confirm Mont de Marsan, so far i have Istres, Orange and Luxeuil as potential bases for the Indian's.
Furthermore is the name Garuda confirmed? i have seen Varuna (already finished) as well.
and do you have any confirmed dates?
Pieter,

Pieter,

Varuna is the combined Navy excercise,
Garuda is for air force, and Shakti for army...

From underside photos supplied by Ian Marshall I can read E20, E44 E87 E139, E68 and E129
