Women in Indian Air Force who made the country proud | International Women’s Day 2023| Oneindia News

What could be more thrilling than flying in a fighter jet while protecting the skies of the motherland?

Well, this Women’s Day, we bring you the stories and valor of some of the bravest women in the modern era who never settled for anything less than free skies.

India was one of the earliest countries in the world to induct women into the Air Force.

While women in several other countries were fighting for equal voting rights, women in India were training shoulder to shoulder with men in the Indian Armed forces.

You must have heard about Gunjan Saxena and Sreevidya Rajan who proved their mettle on the battlefield in the Kargil war of 1999.

So today, we are going to talk about a few such women whose stories have not gotten much recognition from today’s generation despite being so motivational.

REVEALED! Details of Operation Sindoor | How India Jammed Pak’s China-made Air Defence Systems

The Government of India and Indian Armed Forces have officially released a detailed account of Operation Sindoor, India’s high-precision retaliatory strike on terror infrastructure inside Pakistan. The operation, executed overnight on May 6–7, targeted 9 terror camps and several military installations in under 23 minutes, with zero Indian casualties. The Indian Air Force (IAF) showcased its technological edge by successfully jamming and bypassing Chinese-made air defense systems deployed by Pakistan. The use of indigenous systems like BrahMos, Akash missiles, S-400s, and long-range drones played a crucial role in neutralizing enemy targets with pinpoint accuracy. India’s air defense systems, in stark contrast to Pakistan’s, operated at nearly 100% efficiency, intercepting hostile drones and missiles with precision. Operation Sindoor marks a defining moment in India’s counter-terror strategy and defense self-reliance. #OperationSindoor #IndianAirForce #IndiaStrikesBack #CounterTerrorism #DefenseNews #IndianArmy #BrahMos #S400 #AkashMissile #MadeInIndia #IAF #IndigenousWeapons #MilitaryOperation #IndiaDefense #JammuAndKashmir #IndiaVsTerror #NationalSecurity #PakistanTerrorCamps #IndianForces #AirStrike #ZeroCasualties #IndiaPakistanTensions #ChinaAirDefence #DefenceSuperiority #TechInWarfare #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #ModiGovt #IndianMissilePower Also Read Aamir Khan Thanks PM Modi And Armed Forces After Operation Sindoor, Calls Them National Heroes :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/aamir-khan-thanks-pm-modi-and-armed-forces-after-operation-sindoor-calls-them-national-heroes-4151963.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Armed Forces Notify Pakistan DGMO of Violations of May 10 Military Understanding :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/hotline-message-sent-to-pak-dgmo-highlighting-violation-of-may-10-understanding-011-4150783.html?ref=DMDesc BJD Organises Tiranga Yatra to Honour the Bravery of Indian Armed Forces :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bjd-takes-out-tiranga-yatra-to-honour-indian-armed-forces-011-4149999.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.336~GR.124~

India’s Air Marshal AK Bharti breaks silence on rumors of an IAF strike on Pakistan’s Kirana Hills nuclear site. Amid rising tensions, speculation had swirled around a potential hit on Mushaf Airbase, linked to nuclear storage.

Indian forces have successfully neutralised Abdul Rauf and Yusuf Azhar—key masterminds behind the IC-814 hijack and Pulwama attack—in a high-impact cross-border strike under Operation Sindoor. Over 110 Pakistani terrorists have been eliminated. A rattled Pakistan responded with repeated LoC violations and cowardly attacks on religious sites which were proportionately responded to by the Indian Forces. #OperationSindoor #IC814 #Pulwama #AbdulRauf #YusufAzhar #IndianArmy #CounterTerrorism #LOCViolations #IAFStrikes #IndiaStrikesBack
