How many helicopters does the Sarang display team fly, making it unique in the world?
- A.Three
- B.Four
- C.Five
- D.Nine
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is five. The release describes the Sarang team as the only five-helicopter display team in the world, which is the single most distinctive fact about it and the one most likely to be tested. Option D is a deliberate trap for candidates who mix up the Indian Air Force's display formations, since a nine-aircraft formation belongs to a different kind of display team altogether. Options A and B are smaller numbers that sound reasonable for a helicopter formation but do not match the release. Keep the rest of the Sarang card with this figure so that a question from any angle can be answered: the team flies the indigenous Advanced Light Helicopter Dhruv, it has reached Egypt for the second edition of the El Alamein International Airshow held from 8 to 10 September 2026, and it will perform the Dolphin Leap along with a newly introduced Spot Stall Turn.
