We take HADR ops for granted but we must know saving lives is an equal act of valour as taking the lives of enemies. Imagine a gigantic aircraft (C-130J) landing on a damaged airstrip, in pitch darkness, without the support of ATC, in war torned Sudan , under the threat of enemy fire, to save 118 Indian citizens. The gravity of the situation was serious, aircraft were shot, embassies were attacked, civilians were being killed & there was no law & order in the country. The pilots flew in grave dangers & could have returned, but they did not! Garud executed a thrilling operation & the crew performed at its finest. It is for operation Wadi Sedina Dr. S. Jaishankar said “courage shown by people landing was matched by embassy staff on ground” You must read about the Operation Wadi Sedina & what went into it in my book Wings of Valour : True Stories of Indian Airforce’s Daring Operations #indianairforce

Just a regular day at the Garud Regimental Training Centre… The trainees carrying wooden logs are officer cadets who are made to run with heavy logs resembling rocket launchers along with their pithoos, unlike the airmen who run only with pithoos. One Ustaad shared with me “We ask them to run with these wooden logs saying what if one day they have to run with real rocket launchers? 😁” The officer trainees undergo extra ragda and are subjected to gruelling training before they are selected to become Garuds. It is on their shoulders that the safety & survival of their flight will depend. Hence, their training level is tougher. This was shot last year, and by the time my book is published, I assume only a handful of them would have joined the elite ranks of the Garud. To know more about the making and missions of the Garuds, read my latest book Wings of Valour.

Honour of highest honour & proud privilege to have Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, launch my book Wings of Valour and speak so kindly🙏 It is only because of him & the support of the Indian Air Force fraternity that a book we were working on together, for the past many months could be possible & devoted to the people of India to read, cherish & gift. Do read ⬇️ 📚
