Ajoint airlift exercise, ‘Op Hercules’ was undertaken by the Indian Air Force and Indian Army on 15 November 2021. The aim of this high intensity airlift was to strengthen the logistics supply in the Northern sector and to augment winter stocking in the operational areas. The platforms utilised for the airlift were C-17s, Il-76s and An-32s which took off from one of the forward bases of Western Air Command.
