The Indian Air Force on Wednesday celebrated the 71st anniversary of its formation by putting on display for the first time its sophisticated Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles and midair refuelling abilities.
The air show put up over New Delhi by the Surya Kiran team led by Wing Commander Kuldip Malik took everyone's breath away. They performed several exercises as the crowds erupted in repeated applause.
The team drew the Tricolour in the air, and signed off with a Cupid's arrow.
