I need to add a few points. MiG-21 earned the moniker 'Flying coffin' in the late 90s and early 2000s. This was the period when we didn't have an AJT. Green fighter jockeys were transferred straight to a MOFTU which had MiG-21 FL for advanced fighter training after graduating straight from...

This is terrain and general area familiarisation sortie. This isn't a CAP by any stretch of the imagination. Caps are generally flown with 4-6 aams. 6 is the most common and is the case for VVS while RAF QRA Typhoons fly with 8 air to air missiles . This is a Typhoon on QRA .

Rafales taking off from Leh . This is subtle messaging taken to a whole new dimension.
