Flipboard: Iran Missile Launch Puts UAE Base Stationing Rafale ...

The landing of Iranian missiles is said to have been "very close" to where the Rafales were parked. Perceiving danger, India's Air HQ wanted the Rafales to be flown out at night itself but due to requirements of NOTAM, it could not be arranged. Sources said that the Indian embassy got active to make sure that the fighter aircraft were safe and a team rushed to Al Dhafra base. It was confirmed by by 11 pm (local time) that all Rafales are safe and could fly out in the morning.

Iran is holding military exercise - "Prophet Mohammed 14th" near the Strait of Hormuz and has reportedly destroyed a mock-up of a US aircraft carrier with missiles. Amid the heightened tensions between United States and Iran after the killing of Iran's top general Qasem Soleimani by US in January, the military exercise comes as yet another attempt by Iran to posture aggressively before America, which has under Donald Trump imposed several sanctions on the country and scrapped the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal. US Navy described the current Iran military exercise as 'irresponsible and reckless' while Iran released footage of the war games, missile launches from a helicopter, cannons being fired and more.
