Thoughts About Indian Air Force: A cut above

We have downloaded the game and played it for a while. During the gameplay we noticed that the main character of the game is Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman. We tried the training session where we were supposed to complete some missions, and with each mission, the AI offers new weapons and commands to pass the mission.

The gameplay was fun and at the same time, we get to know that airstrike is not an easy job because shooting a fighter jet in the air was a difficult part. Even dropping missiles on the enemy camps was also a challenging part. We think the Indian Air Force has come up with this game to let people know that air battles are very difficult and need a lot of practices.
