Indian Air Force

Continuing the Diwali celebrations with Air Warriors.

Air Chief Marshal Ashutosh Dixit, Chief of the Air Staff, visited a forward area Air Force Station on the day of Diwali to celebrate with Air Warriors and Agniveervayu deployed at the frontline.

Interacting with the personnel and exchanging sweets, he conveyed his festive greetings and appreciated their unwavering commitment to keeping the nation's skies secure, even as duty keeps them away from their families on this auspicious occasion.

Duty above all. Commitment beyond compare.

वायु योद्धाओं के साथ दीपावली के उल्लास और उमंग का उत्सव।

वायु सेना प्रमुख एयर चीफ मार्शल अशुतोष दीक्षित ने श्रीमती अर्चना दीक्षित के साथ एक अग्रिम वायु सेना स्टेशन का दौरा किया और वायु योद्धाओं, अग्निवीरवायु तथा उनके परिवारों के साथ दीपावली का पर्व मनाया।

इस पावन अवसर पर उन्होंने सभी के साथ मिठाइयाँ साझा कीं और उन्हें दीपावली की हार्दिक शुभकामना दीं। उन्होंने विशेष रूप से उन वायु योद्धाओं के प्रति आत्मीयता व्यक्त की, जो राष्ट्र के आकाश कि सुरक्षा हेतु अग्रिम मोर्चों पर सदैव तत्पर रहते हैं।

यह एक ऐसी दिवाली है जो सेवा भावना, भाईचारे और देश के उन रखवालों की अटूट प्रतिबद्धता का उत्सव मनाती है, जो उस समय भी सीमा पर डटे रहते हैं जब पूरा देश त्योहार मना रहा होता है।

शुभ दीपावली

13,629 FEET. A NEW HEIGHT IN AVIATION HISTORY.

​An Indian Air Force IL-76MD has scripted history with a successful landing at Nyoma, marking the highest-altitude landing ever achieved by the aircraft anywhere in the world.
​A remarkable demonstration of the aircraft’s enduring capability, backed by the exceptional skill, precision, and professionalism of its crew.

​A milestone that reinforces India’s strategic airlift capability.

​Pushing boundaries. Redefining limits. Making history.

#ThisDayThatYear | 07 November 1947
Battle of Shalateng

In the turning point of the Indo-Pak war of 1947-48 #IAF Spitfires and Tempests provided sustained air support throughout the day. Striking enemy positions and retreating columns, along the Srinagar–Baramulla–Uri–Domel road, IAF fighters helped turn the enemy’s retreat into a rout.

The coordinated Army–Air Force action marked a decisive turning point in the defence of Kashmir.

A legacy of courage, resolve and joint action.
