Which of the following countries is NOT flying a contingent in Exercise Tarang Shakti 2026?
- A.Australia
- B.Japan
- C.Sri Lanka
- D.Bangladesh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Japan. Seven friendly foreign countries have sent flying contingents to Tarang Shakti 2026, and the list is Australia, the United States of America, the United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Japan does not appear on that list, so it is the odd one out here. Option A, Australia, is on the list and has brought aircraft to Jodhpur. Option C, Sri Lanka, is also on the list and its presence marks the neighbourhood reach of the exercise. Option D, Bangladesh, is likewise among the seven. Aspirants should note that several other air forces are attending only as observers, which is a separate category from the seven that are flying, and examiners like to test exactly that distinction between a participant and an observer.
