President Droupadi Murmu of India made history by taking her first-ever flight on a Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter aircraft at the Tezpur Air Force Station in Assam on Saturday. The President's maiden sortie on the fighter jet is a remarkable feat as she became the second female head of state to fly in a warplane.
Videos of the event showed President Murmu wearing a helmet and a G-suit as she boarded the fighter jet with an experienced pilot. The fighter jet took off with a loud roar, and the President experienced the thrill of flying at supersonic speeds while being escorted by other fighter planes.
The President's flight on the Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter aircraft is significant, as it highlights the country's growing defense capabilities and the role of women in the armed forces. President Murmu's flight is a proud moment for India as it demonstrates the country's commitment to promoting gender equality in all spheres of life.
The President's flight is also a significant gesture to the brave men and women of the Indian Air Force who risk their lives to protect the country's borders. The President's visit to the Tezpur Air Force Station is a recognition of the Air Force's contribution to national security.
President Murmu is currently on a three-day visit to Assam from April 6 to 8. Upon her arrival at the Tezpur Air Force Station, she was welcomed with a Guard of Honour. She was also briefed on the Air Force's operations and capabilities in the region.
The President's flight on the Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter aircraft is a testament to the Indian Air Force's modernization efforts and its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the country. The fighter jet is one of the most advanced aircraft in the Air Force's inventory and is capable of performing a wide range of missions, including air defense, air superiority, and ground attack.
President Murmu's flight on the fighter jet is a significant moment for India and is likely to inspire young women to join the armed forces. It demonstrates that women can excel in any field, including traditionally male-dominated ones like the armed forces.
