Around 150 aircraft, including Rafale, Sukhoi, and MiG fighter jets, will participate in one of the biggest aerial displays in the Northeast at Guwahati's upcoming Indian Air Force (IAF) festivities.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma recently told the media, "On November 9, the Union Defence Minister will attend a mega Air Show at Lachit Ghat in Guwahati, wherein 150 planes of the Indian Air Force will display their strength, including Rafales, Sukhois, and MiGs."
