The glittering ceremony culminated with the successful trainees  forming up in two columns and marching with their gleaming swords and rifles held in salute, past the Academy’s Saluting Dias, the Quarterdeck, in Slow March, to the traditional notes of ‘Auld Lang Syne’, the poignant farewell tune played by Armed Forces around the world when bidding adieu to colleagues and comrades.

In a major victory to the Armed Forces, Zakir Musa, Kashmir’s top terrorist has been killed in an encounter. A gun fight broke out between terrorists and security forces at Dadsara village in Tral at South Kashmir’s Pulwama on Thursday. Sources said that the cordon had been laid following inputs about the presence of Musa, the head of the Ansar Ghazwatul Hind chief. He was persuaded to surrender, but he is said to have retaliated and fired back at the forces. A joint team of the Army’s 42 RR, SOG and CRPF cordoned off the area.

Flight Lieutenant Bhawana Kanth on Wednesday became the first woman fighter pilot to be qualified to undertake missions by day on a fighter aircraft. She completed Day operational syllabus on Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 aircraft today. Notably, Kanth had joined fighter squadron in ‘2017 and flew the first solo on MiG-21 Bison in Mar 2018.’
Last year, Kanth became the second female pilot to fly a fighter jet solo. The first woman is Avani Chaturvedi. Kanth along with Chaturvedi and Mohana Singh were declared as the first combat pilots of the Indian Air Force. The historic event took place on June 18, 2016.
Today, IAF successfully fired the BrahMos air version missile from its frontline Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft. The launch from the aircraft was smooth and the missile followed the desired trajectory before directly hitting the land target. The air-launched BrahMos missile is a 2.5-ton supersonic air to surface cruise missile with ranges of close to 300 km, designed and developed by BAPL. The IAF became the first Air Force in the world to have successfully fired an air-launched 2.8 Mach surface attack missile of this category on a sea target on 22 Nov 17. Today’s was the second such live launch of the weapon. The integration of the weapon on the aircraft was a very complex process involving mechanical, electrical and software modifications on aircraft. The IAF has been involved in the activity from its inception. The software development of the aircraft was undertaken by the IAF engineers while HAL carried out mechanical and electrical modifications on the aircraft. The dedicated and synergetic efforts of the IAF, DRDO, BAPL and HAL have proven the capability of the nation to undertake such complex integrations.
The firing could be successfully undertaken with dedicated support from Indian Navy by way of ensuring the availability of a large number of monitoring ships to ensure range safety clearance. The BrahMos missile provides Indian Air Force with a much-desired capability to strike from large stand-off ranges on any target at sea or on land with pinpoint accuracy by day or night and in all weather conditions. The capability of the missile coupled with the superlative performance of the Su-30MKI aircraft gives the IAF the desired strategic reach.
