Event Summary

President Droupadi Murmu, the supreme commander of the Indian armed forces, took a sortie in a Dassault Rafale fighter jet at India — Ambala Air Force Station on October 29. This event underscores India's commitment to empowering women in defense and showcases the advanced capabilities of the Dassault Rafale jets, manufactured by Dassault Aviation. The Dassault Rafale jets were formally inducted into the India — Indian Air Force in September 2020 and played a key role in Operation Sindoor, launched by India on May 7 to destroy terror infrastructures in Pakistan-controlled territories. This was Droupadi Murmu's second fighter jet sortie, following a Sukhoi Su-30MKI flight in April 2023, similar to those undertaken by former presidents A. P. J. Abdul Kalam and Pratibha Patil.
