Squadron Leader Mohana Singh has become the first woman fighter pilot to join the elite 18 ‘Flying Bullets’ squadron, operating a squadron of India’s indigenously built ‘Made in India’ LCA Tejas fighter jets.
Squadron Leader Singh, one of the country’s first women fighter pilots, has once again raised the flag of success.
Her remarkable achievement underlines the Indian Air Force’s commitment to gender equality and empowerment.
The officer was recently part of Exercise ‘Tarang Shakti’ held in Jodhpur, where she was part of the historic flight of the three vice chiefs of the three services.
Squadron Leader Mohana Singh was part of the first group of three women who became fighter pilots in the Indian Air Force.
After the government opened the fighter aviation sector to women in 2016, the IAF currently has about 20 female fighter pilots.
