During which conflict did he allow US military planes to refuel in India?

  • Vietnam War

  • Korean War

  • Gulf War

  • Indo-Pak War

Answer

During the Gulf War, India permitted US military aircraft to refuel within its territory. This decision was significant as India had traditionally maintained a policy of non-alignment and neutrality in international conflicts. By allowing US planes to refuel, India demonstrated its support for the US-led coalition against Iraq and its willingness to contribute to international efforts to maintain regional stability.
