President Murmu's Historic Rafale Jet Sortie in Ambala

President Droupadi Murmu makes history by taking a sortie in a Rafale fighter jet at Ambala Air Force Station. The Rafale jets, integral to India's defense operations, were previously utilized in Operation Sindoor following a terror attack. The event highlights the growing capabilities of India's military aviation.

In a significant event on Wednesday, President Droupadi Murmu arrived at Ambala Air Force Station to undertake a historic sortie in a Rafale fighter jet, marking a momentous occasion in her presidential tenure.
