The Indian Air Force (IAF) has started a three-day rehearsal camp at Hisar Airport to prepare for fighter jet operations. A team of 55 personnel, including 18 pilots, arrived on Tuesday to conduct training on the new runway. The camp will run until February 7, with fighter jets expected to arrive on Wednesday. Administrative officials are coordinating logistics, including accommodation for pilots and measures to minimize bird presence at the airport. Hisar Airport is being evaluated as a potential strategic backup base due to its location near Sirsa and Ambala Air Force Stations. The exercise aims to assess the rapid deployment of fighter jets from Hisar.
