According to defence officials, Air Marshal Arora has rich and diverse experience of accident-free operational flying which includes several fighter aircraft including the MiG 21, the MiG 29 and other aircraft including helicopters. A graduate of the Tactics and Air Combat Development Establishment of the Defence Service Staff College and National Defence College, Arora has commanded a MiG 21 squadron in the South Western sector where he was later also appointed as the Commander of Air Defence Direction Centre.

The force said it is a routine affair and there was nothing unusual about it. As the sound of the blasts reached across the border, the Pakistan security forces started running a campaign of fake news that India was conducting a “thermonuclear and tactical nuclear weapons test”.

The aircraft was launched off the ski jump at 04.21 pm and then subsequently ‘trapped’ ten minutes later at 04.31 pm on the arresting gear site. This is an important development considering the fact that it was for the first time when the complete cycle of launch and recovery necessary for aircraft carrier operations was accomplished in a single sortie. The exploratory nature of this stage of the programme necessitates experimentation with multiple software options and hardware configurations.
