IAF looking to induct seven more C-17 aircraft

The Indian Air Force is looking forward to add to its fleet seven more C-17 heavylift aircraft.
India already has placed an order for 10 C-17 aircraft from the US and three have already been inducted at its Hindan air base.
A C-17 has the capability to land at short airfields such as the Daulat Beg Oldie advanced landing ground in Ladakh sector and carry 150 combat-ready troops to a distance of 4,200 km in one go.
