JASDF C‑2 Aircraft Arrive in Jodhpur for Bilateral Training

Two C‑2 transport planes of Japan’s Air Self‑Defense Force arrived at Jodhpur Air Force Station on September 9, marking the start of the second edition of “Veer Guardian.” The aircraft are equipped for long‑range logistical support and will be used in joint cargo‑drop and air‑lift simulations with Indian counterparts. The presence of these assets underscores the expanding scope of the IAF‑JASDF partnership, which now includes strategic air‑mobility and joint operational planning.
