Bhawana Kanth, Avani Chaturvedi, and Mohana Singh are renowned Indian women who made history by becoming the first female fighter pilots to be commissioned into the Indian Air Force (IAF) combat stream in 2016. They were part of the first batch of women fighter pilots.
Their induction marked a significant step towards gender equality in the Indian armed forces, breaking barriers in a field traditionally dominated by men.
These pilots underwent rigorous training alongside their male counterparts before being commissioned and eventually allowed to fly frontline fighter jets.
