Indian air power galore! At Yelahanka AFS, near Bangalore, Aero India 2021 was held in February 2021. The Indian Air Force was keen to show its latest assets, as can be seen here on the flightline with two Tejas (LA5005, LA5007), four Rafales (BS001, BS002, BS003, BS005), and a Hawk-i with HAL 100 markings among other aircraft.
