No. 35 Sqdn "Rapiers"

-----------------------------------

In 1977 the squadron was specially selected to convert to the Electronic Warfare (EW) role. Re-equipped with modified Canberra B(I) 58s and MiG-21Ms, the squadron moved to Bareilly AFS in 1978. In 1997, the squadron's Canberras were withdrawn and 'B' flight re-equipped with EW-equipped MiG-21Ms. Since the 1980s, No.35 Squadron has played an important role in collaborating with DRDO in the evaluation of EW systems and armaments. The unit also fills and important training role. In addition to providing support to offensive air operations, the 'Rapiers' play a crucial role in providing flying effort towards EW related training for the IAF's own air defense units.
