what you posted was the Indian air force was being trained in the negev on mock ups of Pakistani installations. Some credible proofs of these claims would be appreciated.like otherwise they seem highly unlikely
I didn't mention or ref to India, it was the Israeli Defence Airforce that conducted the trainings in the Negev.

Israel and India have always denied the incident but as far as I know, India only had a passive role to let the Israeli jets land and fuel and provide a safe passage out.

Hopefully we will learn more in the future if US releases any classified info.
If India had a role & was supporting Israel, the operation would have succeeded.

Yet India chickened out hours before the raid under US' pressure.

Israel is the only country to take such endeavor and get away with it, India can't.
Remember the slaughter of 22 US Marines onboard of the Liberty?
