Aero India 2025 commences in Bengaluru
Aero India 2025, Asia’s premier aerospace exhibition and a fast catching one at the world level too, Aero India 2025 has begun on February 10, and will continue until February 14.
The venue is Yelahanka Air Force Station in Bengaluru. The event will showcase a range of advanced aircraft, including the Russia’s Su-57, the 5th generation stealth fighter with the fast speed.
Of course American F35 Lightening II will also be there but in static mode only. Shri Rajnath Singh, Raksha Mantri inaugurated the 15th Aero India, showcasing India’s strength and self-reliance in the aerospace sector.
The Indian Air Force’s Surya Kiran and Sarang teams will dazzle the spectators with their flying skills and acrobatics in the Sky, as well as international aerobatic squads. The exhibition includes flying by the Russian Su-57.
However the US Air Force’s F-35 fifth-generation fighter aircraft has sighed away from flying probably because people will start comparing then and there?
India’s growing capabilities are being highlighted in the global aerospace arena, with a dedicated India Pavilion displaying over 275 exhibits across five zones.
Indian defence giants like Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) are showcasing their latest innovations, including the indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (Tejas) and the Advanced Light Helicopter (Dhruv).
