The Indian Air Force celebrated India’s historic triumph in the 1971 war with a commemorative event at Mohanbari Air Force Station in Assam on Wednesday (December 10, 2025), paying an inspiring tribute to the courage and bravery of the armed forces.
The ceremony was attended by the Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, along with senior military and civilian dignitaries, veterans and enthusiastic youth from across Assam.
In this case, the Indian Air Force simulated the attack of the famous attack on the governor’s residence in Dhaka in the 1971 war.
The IAF said the breathtaking aerial display featuring Su-30 MKI, C-130, Dornier, An-32, Chinook, Mi-17, ALH and Cheetah aircraft vividly recreated the iconic missions of the 1971 war, including the Tangail landing, Meghna River Crossing and Dhaka Governor House attack. The display showcased the exceptional operational capabilities and mission readiness of the IAF.
As part of the commemoration, a seminar on “Air Operations during the 1971 War” brought together air veterans to share engaging anecdotes and first-hand experiences of the conflict. The exhibition titled ‘Triumph from the Sky-71’ displayed rare archival photographs from the war and featured a replica of the ‘Swarnim Vijay Mashal’, symbolizing India’s decisive victory.
