Three Indian Air Force Instructors Join UK Royal Air Force to Train Pilots
Three Indian Air Force Qualified Flying Instructors (QFIs) have joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) Valley in Wales to train British fast-jet pilots, marking the first deployment of Indian QFIs to the UK. This milestone reflects growing India-UK defence cooperation and aims to enhance professional excellence and interoperability. The instructors will train RAF pilots on the BAE Hawk T2 aircraft, with their deployment initially set for two years. The move follows recent bilateral talks to expand military training exchanges.
