Indian Air Force Celebrates 1971 War Victory
The Indian Air Force is having a big air show in Assam to celebrate a very important victory from 54 years ago.
This victory helped a new country, Bangladesh, become free.
The show will have cool planes and helicopters flying in the sky.
Important people, including the head of the Air Force and a group from Bangladesh, will be there to watch.
There will also be an exhibition and a movie about the war.
The war started on December 3 and ended on December 16, 1971, when Pakistan's army in the east surrendered.
This event is special because it reminds everyone of the bravery and skill of the Indian Air Force during that time.
The Indian Air Force will host an air show at Air Force Station in Mohanbari, Assam, to celebrate the 54th anniversary of the 1971 war victory.
The event will feature aerial displays by Sukhoi Su-30 fighters, Dornier Do-228, Antonov An-32, Chinook, and Mi-17 helicopters.
Key attendees include Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, military and civil dignitaries, air veterans, schoolchildren, and a 20-member delegation from Bangladesh.
The celebration will include an exhibition and a movie release commemorating the 1971 war, which led to the liberation of Bangladesh.
