Two IAF women pilots break glass ceiling, script history at R-Day parade

两名印度空军女飞行员在共和国日阅兵上亮相，书写历史

NEW DELHI: Two IAF women officers broke the glass ceiling on Tuesday by becoming the first women pilots to participate in the Republic Day parade — one at Rajpath and the other over Rajpath.

新德里：周二，两名印度空军女军官成为首次参加共和国日阅兵的女飞行员。

While Flight Lieutenant Bhawana Kanth, 28, became the first woman fighter pilot to take part in the R-Day parade as she was part of an IAF tableau that showcased mock-ups of an light combat aircraft, light combat helicopter and a Sukhoi-30 fighter plane, Flight Lieutenant Swati Rathore got the honour to be the first woman to be part of the flypast over Rajpath as she flew a Mi-17 V5 helicopter in a formation of four choppers.

空军上尉Bhawana Kanth，28岁，成为了参加共和国日阅兵的首位女战斗机飞行员。空军上尉Swati Rathore驾驶米-17 V5直升机组成四架直升机编队，荣幸地成为首位飞越国王大道上空的女飞行员。

Currently posted at an airbase in Rajasthan, Ft Lt Bhawana Kanth flies MiG-21 Bison fighter jets, the same aircraft that was used by Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman to chase and bring down an F-16 of Pakistan during the India-Pakistan face-off in 2019. Along with Avani Chaturvedi and Mohana Singh, Kanth was inducted into the IAF as the first woman fighter pilot in 2016. On May 22, 2019, Ft Lt Kanth became one of the first three women fighter pilots to qualify for day-time combat missions on a fighter aircraft.

Bhawana Kanth目前在拉贾斯坦邦的一个空军基地服役，驾驶米格-21“野牛”战机。2019年印巴对峙期间，空军中校阿比纳丹·瓦尔塔曼曾驾驶米格-21“野牛”击落了巴基斯坦的一架F-16战机。与Avani Chaturvedi和Mohana Singh一起，Kanth于2016年加入印度空军，成为首位女战斗机飞行员。2019年5月22日，Kanth 成为首批有资格在战斗机上执行日间战斗任务的三名女战斗机飞行员之一。
