Air Marshal S.R.K. Nair led this mission as CO of No. 44 Sqn and later captained the first IAF aircraft to participate in Exercise Cope Thunder.

Long in development, "Freedom" became a staple on The Experience's 1970 touring schedule. The basic track was recorded on June 25, 1970 at Electric Lady Studios with further recordings taking place in July and August. First released on The Cry Of Love in 1971, the song now features as the opening on First Rays Of The New Rising Sun.
For the first time, India has officially named the six brave soldiers who laid down their lives during Operation Sindoor. Nearly 14 months after the operation, their names have been inscribed in the Roll of Honour at the National War Memorial and will be permanently engraved on the Tyag Chakra — the Circle of Sacrifice.
The nation remembers Subedar Major Pawan Kumar, Rifleman Sunil Kumar (Vir Chakra), Lance Naik Dinesh Kumar, Agniveer Mood Murali Naik, Havildar Sunil Kumar Singh, and Sergeant Surendra Kumar (Vayu Medal).
Today, their sacrifice stands etched in stone — and in the nation's memory forever.
