The Indian Air Force commemorated its pivotal role on December 5, 1971, the third day of the war. IAF operations crippled Pakistan’s western defenses and devastated enemy airfields. In the east, air superiority paved the way for India’s rapid advance, leading to Bangladesh’s birth. The Battle of Longewala also saw IAF Hunters decisively halt a Pakistani armored thrust, securing Jaisalmer.
