JODHPUR: IAF’s “lethal” fighter aircraft Mig 27, which proved to be “ace attacker” during the 1999 Kargil war and earned nickname of ‘Bahadur’ from pilots, are all set to pass into the glorious history of country’s air force on Friday when their last squadron of seven planes will have its last sortie from Jodhpur air base.
“The squadron of seven MiG 27 will have its last sortie from Jodhpur Air Base on December 27. All the planes of this squadron will be decommissioned on this day, after which none of them would be flying anywhere in the country,” said defence spokesperson Col Sombit Ghosh on Tuesday, announcing the scheduled decommissioning of Russian-made MiG 27 aircraft from the South West Air Command.
