India has introduced an upgraded squadron of MiG-29 fighter jets at the Srinagar air base to address potential threats from the dual front. The Tridents squadron, now dubbed the 'Defender of the North,' has taken the place of the MiG-21 squadron. MiG-21 was traditionally responsible for countering the Pakistani threat at the Srinagar air base.
