B Bhawana Kanth
C Mohana Singh
In 2015, the Government of India decided to open up the combat roles to women in the Indian Air Force (IAF) on an experimental basis for five years. As a result, in 2016, the IAF commissioned three women as fighter pilots. Avani Chaturvedi, Bhawana Kanth, and Mohana Singh created history by becoming the first female combat pilots in the IAF.
