Dakshin Abhyas, the three-day operational exercises conducted at all stations under the Southern Air Command (SAC) to put to test the operational plans of SAC concluded on Thursday.
During the three days rigorous exercise, the ability and readiness of Command and all Air Force Stations under the SAC were put to real time test by creating simulated contingencies both by day and night thereby enabling the commanders to plan and execute air operations with assets at their disposal.
The exercise also enabled the commanders to identify shortcomings in the existing plans to deal with sub-conventional threats and validate the efficacy of operational and ground defence plans.
The three-day exercise included movement of combat elements to deal with simulated sub-conventional threat developing rapidly in the southern peninsula.
