The game features a character sporting a gunslinger moustache similar to that of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was captured and later released by Pakistan after his vintage MiG-21 Bison aircraft was shot down in an aerial dogfight which broke out in the aftermath of Balakot airstrike in February this year.
If you are thinking this is the first videogame by IAF then you are wrong earlier in 2014, the IAF had launched a game called Guardian of the skies The new IAF game is the sequel of sorts of the 2014 game with improved graphics and technology. The game, available for Android and iOS, is a combat simulator which lets the players choose from an array of fighter aircraft, including Tejas, Rafale Mirage-2000, Su-30 among others.
