President Murmu Flies In Rafale Fighter From Airbase Key To Op Sindoor

President Droupadi Murmu has taken off from the Ambala Air Force Base in Haryana for a sortie in a Rafale fighter jet. Five months ago, when India launched Operation Sindoor to avenge the Pahalgam attack, Rafales from this airbase had taken off with a mission to destroy terror camps across the border, delivering New Delhi's anti-terror message. This is the second such sortie in a fighter jet for Murmu. The Supreme Commander of India's Armed Forces had on April 8, 2023, flown in a Sukhoi-30 MKI jet at the Tezpur Air Force Station, Assam, becoming the third president and the second woman head of state to do so.
