Pathankot, Ambala, and Chandigarh airbases are very special, where Chinook, Apache, and Rafale are stationed

The post Pathankot, Ambala, and Chandigarh airbases are very special, where Chinook, Apache, and Rafale are stationed appeared first on NewsCrab.

There are many air force stations under the Western Air Command. But the role of these three Air Force stations Ambala, Pathankot, and Chandigarh are very important from a strategic point of view.

That is why, in about a quarter of a year, the Indian Air Force is becoming alert to give a befitting reply to the enemy. The first Chandigarh Air Force Station received advanced helicopter Chinook.

In September last year, Pathankot, another important air force station of Western Air Command, received a squadron of Apache, the world's most dangerous combat helicopter. After that, on July 29, Ambala Air Force Station of Western Air Command has got the strength of Rafale. In a very short span of time, the battalion of the Indian Army has the capability to carry their weapons, tanks, and other equipment from the field area to the Western Front's advance.

The Chinook helicopters of the transport class have been deployed in Chandigarh because the reach of Chandigarh Air Force Station is not far from the China and Pakistan border. Army and Air Force battalions deployed on LOCs and LACs can be transported as soon as possible via all logistics and weapons supplies Chinook as well as transport aircraft such as Globemaster Hercules and AN-32. Therefore, Chandigarh railway station is very important in terms of transport airbase of the Air Force, hence Chinook has been deployed here.

Similarly, Apache storm, day and night, and rain deployed in Pathankot can destroy the target by going between inaccessible areas and dense hills in every situation. Pathankot Air Force Station is located just 30 kilometers from the Pakistan border. Therefore, this air force station is also very strong for Pakistan. This air force station has also been targeted by Pak-backed terrorists. In view of this, the strength of this air force station has also been increased by deploying the dangerous fighter Apache here.

On the other hand, the fighter aircraft Rafael is decorated with many such weapons including missiles. This aircraft specializes in air-to-air and air-to-surface attacks. These new generation fighter aircraft and helicopters have been deployed under the Western Air Command, as these aircraft and helicopters immediately handle their front against China and Pakistan if the situation worsens.

Airstrike will also become more destructive After the arrival of the Indian Air Force Rafale is also convinced that their airstrike capability has increased now. According to an Air Force official, if used in an airstrike, the target can be destroyed by locating the target for a distance of 600 km without crossing the border. Last year, the Air Force airstrike against Pakistan was carried out by the Mirage planes after the Pulwama attack. But now if Rafael gets involved in such operations, the strength of airstrike will be doubled. Let us tell you that Miraj and Rafael have been made by the French company Dasso.
