An eighteen member Russian Air Force team at Air Force Station Halwara in Punjab is participating in Phase II of the Indo-Russian bilateral exercise‘AVIA – INDRA I’. The Russian delegation headed by Major General Lyapkin Alexander N consists of Fighter and Helicopter aircrew among other members. Russian aircrew have flown IAF Su-30 MKI, Mi-35 & Mi-17 along with our aircrew. Earlier, members of the Russian delegation visited Bengaluru, where they were exposed to indigenous projects such as Light Combat Aircraft (Tejas), Light Combat Helicopter and Advance Light Helicopter (Dhruv). Today, the media witnessed ‘air to ground’ firing by aircraft and helicopters jointly flown by pilots of Indian Air Force (IAF) and Russian Federation Air Force (RFAF) at Sidhwan Khas range near Halwara. The joint exercise will further strengthen the relations between the two Air Forces taking forward the India – Russia strategic partnership. The Russian team will be in India till 28 November 14. Union Culture and Tourism Minister Dr Mahesh Sharma has expressed deep sorrow over the passing away of Kathak legend Sitara Devi who passed away in Mumbai today. In his condolence message, the Minister has said that passing away of Sitara Devi is a great loss to the Indian classical dance. She was a cultural icon of the country who devoted her entire life to Kathak and was instrumental in popularising the dance world over. She made a significant contribution towards reviving Kathak and ensuring its elevation to a dignified status. In her departure, we have lost a distinguished cultural figure whose absence will be felt by one and all, the Minister added.
