Jaipur, Feb. 28 -- President Droupadi Murmu on Friday undertook a sortie in the indigenously developed Light Combat Helicopter 'Prachand' at Air Force Station Jaisalmer. Clad in an olive green flight suit and helmet, she joined the mission in the combat-ready helicopter, adding to her earlier sorties in the Sukhoi Su-30MKI in 2023 and the Dassault Rafale in 2025. The mission was undertaken as a two-aircraft LCH formation. President Droupadi Murmu flew in the lead aircraft with Group Captain Nayan Shantilal Bahua, while Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh and Group Captain A Mahendra flew as Number 2 in the second aircraft. During the approximately 25-minute mission, they flew over Gadisar Lake and Jaisalmer Fort and attacked a Tank Target, said officials aware of the matter. Later in the visitor's book, the President expressed her feelings by writing a brief note in which she said, "The sortie in India's indigenously developed Light Combat Helicopter 'Prachand' is an enriching experience for me. This sortie has filled me with a renewed sense of pride in the nation's defence capabilities. I congratulate the Indian Air Force and the entire team of Air Force Station Jaisalmer for successfully organising this sortie"....
