		Like their counterparts in the US Air Force, the French Air Force and the British RAF, Indian pilots are very well trained and their annual flying hours are in the range of 220-280 hours annually.
		The IAF has demonstrated its capabilities in combat and is rated very highly by analysts, not only because it is one of the largest and best equipped air forces but because of the quality of the personnel that serve India with pride and professionalism.
