At 67, President Droupadi Murmu creates history yet again, becoming the first Indian President to take a sortie in a Rafale, India’s cutting-edge fighter jet.
Taking off from Ambala Air Force Station in Haryana with Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh, she witnessed the Rafale’s precision and agility that define India’s aerial strength.
As the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, this flight wasn’t just ceremonial. It was a message — that leadership isn’t about watching from the ground, but rising above the clouds.
From flying a Sukhoi-30 MKI over the Brahmaputra last year to now soaring in a Rafale, President Murmu continues to embody quiet courage, calm strength, and unshakable resolve.
Her journey from a small tribal village in Odisha to the cockpit of India’s most advanced jet captures the story of modern India itself: bold, resilient, and unstoppable.
