Indian Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will fly in Sukhoi 30 MKI fighter aircraft on January 17, official sources said.
She would be the first full-time woman defence minister to fly in this aircraft from Air Force Station in Jodhpur.
After her recent stay on board INS Vikramaditya at sea, this gesture will be a part of the defence minister’s continued efforts to gauge and review the operational preparedness and combat capabilities of the armed forces.
