IAF Instructors to Train UK Royal Air Force Pilots, Boosting Military Ties

• UK and India agree to enhance military training after 19th UK-India Air Staff Talks in New Delhi.
• Indian Air Force instructors will deploy to RAF Valley to train on BAE Hawk T2 or Texan T1 aircraft.
• This follows the first-time deployment of an IAF officer as an instructor to Royal Air Force College Cranwell in January.
• Indian officers now serve as instructors in all three British military academies, deepening cooperation.
• The move strengthens the long-standing relationship, enhances interoperability, and reinforces shared commitment to aircrew training excellence.
