AMBALA: President Droupadi Murmu undertook a sortie in a Rafale fighter jet from the Air Force Station in Haryana\u2019s Ambala on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Air Chief Marshal A P Singh also flew in a separate aircraft from the same airbase.<\/p>\n

Before getting on to the Rafale jet, the President wore a G-suit.<\/p>\n

Murmu, who was holding a helmet in her hand and wearing sun glasses, also posed for pictures with the pilot.<\/p>\n

Shortly before the aircraft took off at 11.27 am, the President waved from inside the jet.<\/p>\n

The President was also accorded a ceremonial guard of honour after she arrived at the Air Force Station this morning.<\/p>\n

Rafale jets were used during Operation Sindoor, launched by India in response to the April 22 dastardly Pahalgam terror attack.<\/p>\n

In April 2023, Murmu, the supreme commander of the Indian armed forces has undertaken a sortie in Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter aircraft at the Tezpur Air Force Station, Assam.<\/p>\n

Former presidents A P J Abdul Kalam and Pratibha Patil had undertaken sorties in Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter aircraft at the Air Force Station, Lohegaon near Pune on June 8, 2006 and November 25, 2009, respectively.<\/p>\n

Manufactured by French aerospace major Dassault Aviation, Rafale fighter aircraft were formally inducted into the Indian Air Force in September 2020 at the Air Force Station, Ambala.<\/p>\n

The first five Rafale aircraft, which had arrived from France on July 27, 2020, were inducted in 17 Squadron, the \u2018Golden Arrows\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Rafale jets were used in Operation Sindoor, which was launched on May 7 to destroy several terror infrastructures in territories controlled by Pakistan. The strikes triggered four days of intense clashes that ended with an understanding on stopping the military actions on May 10.<\/p>\n
