Re: Female fighter pilots in Indian Air Force

Indian Air Force is the air arm of the Indian armed forces. It is the world's fourth largest air force in terms of both personnel and aircraft

As you asking I am telling Indian Air Force has recruited its first female fighter pilots, paving the way for more women to be given combat roles as one of the world's biggest military forces takes steps towards greater gender parity, Flying Officers Mohana Singh, Bhawana Kanth and Avani Chaturvedi received their wings in this year when they were commissioned into the IAF at a graduation ceremony in the southern city of Hyderabad.
