The Indian Air Force flew three empty tankers to the UAE on Monday.
They will be refilled with 60 tonnes of liquid oxygen and shipped back to India for use in the country’s Covid-19 fight.
India’s Defence Ministry said transporting the empty containers on an Ilyushin IL-76 military plane reduced the time needed to deliver the tankers to the Emirates from Jamnagar, in Gujarat, western India.
They were delivered to Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai.
Pavan Kapoor, India’s ambassador to the UAE, said the tankers would be refilled and shipped back on an Indian Navy vessel on Wednesday.
The BrahMos project should be the benchmark for all future joint ventures in defence as it leverages the excellent rapport between India and Russia – at the scientific, academic, military and political levels.

India and China have both invested in their armored forces since the 1962 war on their disputed border in the Himalayas.
The armor that both sides fielded during another recent period of heightened tension on that border show that a future war could be more destructive.
Two months ago, the Indian and Chinese militaries pulled back their forces stationed around Pangong Lake, on their disputed border in the western Himalaya mountains.
The pullback, described as a disengagement by India s Defense Ministry, was meant to be a first step to ease tensions on the disputed border swaths of which have been heavily militarized since 20 Indian and at least four Chinese soldiers died in a medieval-style brawl in the nearby Galwan River Valley almost a year ago.
