Indian Air Force Dassault Mirage 2000 - 40th Wing at Cobra Warrior

One of the most extraordinary participants in Exercise Cobra Warrior 2023-1 was the participation of the Air Force of India (IAF). The IAF had traveled to the British RAF Waddington for Cobra Warrior with a total of more than 145 service men from the air force. The delegation had gathered at Air Force Station Jamnagar from all corners of India. The main objective for the Indians is to learn to work together and fly against multiple types of fighter aircraft from Europe. Practicing combat scenarios with and against types such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet and the Eurofighter Typhoon is very special for the Indian alliance and also very instructive.

The participating delegation from India consisted of five Mirage 2000I & 2000TI fighters (two Mirage 2000Is and three Mirage 2000TIs respectively). The fact that Mirages from the IAF come to this exercise can simply be called special. The IAF has only a relatively small pool of these aircraft in its orbat. Most fighters in the Indian Air Force are MiG-21 and Su-30 fighters. The Indian Air Force has only one wing that operates with the Dassault Mirage 2000. This unit is the 40th Wing based at Gwalior/Maharajpur Air Force Station which is part of the Central Air Command of India.
