SINGAPORE - The Singapore and Indian air forces have added a new air-sea training component as both countries hold their 10th joint military training (JMT) at India's Kalaikunda Air Force Station from Oct 31 to Dec 12.
The joint training will allow aircrew from the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) and the Indian Air Force (IAF) to hone their operational skills and enhance interoperability through drills such as air combat and mission-oriented training, the Ministry of Defence said on Thursday (Nov 28).
"Since the conduct of the first JMT in 2008, the exercise has grown in scale and complexity with advanced fighter assets from both countries training together," said Brigadier-General Ho Kum Luen, Commander of the RSAF's Air Combat Command.
"The RSAF values the opportunity to train alongside our counterparts from India, which enhances our competencies and also builds mutual trust among our people," he added.
The 10th JMT is conducted under the Air Force Bilateral Agreement, which was inked in 2007 and renewed in 2017.
Both air forces also interact regularly through visits, courses and other professional exchanges.

Japan, India to conduct fighter jet drill for deeper security ties
By KYODO NEWS
New Delhi : Japan and India agreed Saturday to conduct their first-ever joint fighter aircraft exercise in Japan as part of efforts to promote bilateral security cooperation in the face of China's military buildup and regional assertiveness.
In the inaugural "two-plus-two" security talks, the foreign and defense ministers of the two Asian democracies also welcomed the significant progress in negotiations for an acquisition and cross-servicing agreement, or ACSA, and called for an early conclusion, according to a joint statement issued after the talks in New Delhi.
The two governments are planning to sign the ACSA, which would allow the two sides to share defense capabilities and supplies including fuel and ammunition, when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visits India for talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in mid-December, according to Japanese officials.
Tokyo and New Delhi aim to have a joint exercise involving fighter jets from Japan's Air Self-Defense Force and the Indian Air Force next year, the officials said.
It will be the fourth such drill for Japan after ones with the United States, Britain and Australia.
Speaking at the meeting, part of which was open to the media, Japanese Defense Minister Taro Kono said the launch of the talks "symbolizes a higher level of importance in Japan-India security ties in the Indo-Pacific region."
The talks also brought together Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh.

The ministers shared the vision of "a free, open and inclusive and rules-based Indo-Pacific," the statement said, in a veiled criticism of China's assertive territorial claims in the East and South China seas, as well as increased military presence in the Indian Ocean.
They called for ensuring "the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity," taking aim at China's militarization of outposts in disputed areas of the South China Sea and Beijing's attempts to undermine Japan's control of the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.
They welcomed trilateral defense cooperation with the United States such as the annual Malabar maritime exercises, as well as quadruple foreign ministerial meetings also involving Australia.
The Japanese and Indian ministers agreed to boost exchanges of information on the Indian Ocean by utilizing the Information Fusion Center for the Indian Ocean region, an entity India set up in December last year.
They also vowed to step up joint research in the area of unmanned ground vehicle robotics.
On North Korea, the ministers "condemned" the country's launches of ballistic missiles, saying they are in "clear violation" of U.N. Security Council resolutions, according to the statement.
They pledged to fully enforce U.N. sanctions on Pyongyang so as to achieve its "complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantlement of all weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles of all ranges."
They "strongly urged" North Korea to resolve the issue of its abductions of Japanese nationals in the 1970s and 1980s "at the earliest date."
Motegi and Kono had a separate meeting with Modi on the sidelines of the two-plus-two talks.
Prior to the talks, Jaishankar said their launch "reflects the growing strategic convergence between the two countries and a common desire to further deepen bilateral security and defense cooperation."
In a written interview with Kyodo News, the minister of external affairs quoted Modi as saying relations with Japan are a "vital pillar" of India's "Act East" policy, and that the Modi government believes "there is much room to grow" in bilateral ties.
In a summit in Tokyo in October last year, Abe and Modi agreed to upgrade two-plus-two talks from the vice ministerial level to a ministerial level.
In Saturday's meeting, the four ministers decided to hold a next two-plus-two ministerial meeting in Tokyo, without specifying a date.
Japan is the second country with which India has two-plus-two security talks after the United States. New Delhi is the seventh two-plus-two partner for Tokyo.

As part of the exercise, important lectures, demonstrations and drills related to counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations in jungle and mountainous terrain are being conducted. Both the Armies are to share their valuable experiences in countering such situations and also refine drills and procedures for joint operations wherever the need arises.
A lecture was organized by the Nepali Army in which the Indian troops were demonstrated various types of IED techniques and booby traps which are used against the security forces. The lecture also included training on avoiding accidents while dealing with IEDs and their safe destruction. The previous edition of Surya Kiran was held at Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand in June last year.
The 7th edition of the India-Sri Lanka joint military training Exercise ‘Mitra Shakti 2019’ is scheduled to be conducted at the Foreign Training Node (FTN) in Pune from 1 to 14 December.
Minister of State for Defence Shripad Naik revealed earlier this week that 72 joint exercises have been conducted by the Army, 39 by the Navy, and 21 by the Air Force in the last 3 years.
