Scripting history, Flight Lieutenant Bhawana Kanth on 22 May became the first woman pilot of the Indian Air Force (IAF) to qualify to undertake combat missions on a fighter jet.
She has completed operational syllabus for carrying out combat missions on Mig-21 Bison aircraft during day time.
She is from the first batch of women fighter pilots of the IAF.
Three women — Kanth, Avani Chaturvedi and Mohana Singh — were commissioned as flying officers in July 2016, less than a year after the government decided to open the fighter stream for women on an experimental basis.
