"air-force-day"

The fighter aircraft shots bring to mind the 2022 release 'Top Gun: Maverick,' starring Tom Cruise.

Four air warriors will present the ensign on a movable mini-stage to the Air Chief, who will unveil it. Meanwhile, two drones will raise a larger version of the ensign from behind a curtain wall serving as the parade backdrop.

The air display started with flag bearing skydivers of the famous AKASH GANGA Team dropping out of AN-32 aircraft in their colourful canopies.

Actor Vivek Oberoi also took to the platform and shared a video displaying the valour of the Indian Air Force.

The IAF was established on October 8, 1932, in undivided India which was under colonial rule.

India and China are locked in a five-month-long bitter border standoff in eastern Ladakh that has significantly strained their ties.
