The Indian Air Force has moved Sukhoi-30 fighters to its premium airbase in Gwalior and the Russian combat aircrafts would operate in tandem with the French Mirages.
The three Sukhoi fighters arrived at the Maharajpura Air Station on wednesday in the presence of GOC-in-C of Central Air Command, G F Kochar, officials said on Thursday.
Later, the aircrafts, alongwith Mirage and Mig 21, took part in a flypast at which Kochar took the salute.
